If Edward Snowden hasn’t illustrated enough conviction to meet your standards, I am aching to learn who has. He sacrificed his entire livelihood for his fellow Americans, yet whose most honorable efforts have still had no measurable political impact despite being the most important media story in the past decade, opting against sacrificing the fleeting bits of life he has left to call his own in the name of yet anoth…
I am not saying Snowden is not honorable. He has done the world a great service at great personal sacrifice. I implied he may not have the courage of his convictions regarding current events in Ukraine. Yes, I want more from Snowden. I know I am not entitled to more, but I still want it.
Why though? We didn't do anything with what he gave us. He gave up a normal life to give us all of the evidence we needed to prove all of the things we always suspected and... crickets. Nothing changed. Neither party cares, they both call him an enemy of the state. Even Trump with his fake war against the Deep State, didn't pardon him when he had the chance.
Turns out, we didn't deserve Snowden.
