Also, like many fighting for change in the past, they were willing to face the consequences for their actions......this guy just leaves the country. Makes him less of a martyr IMO |
What's ironic is that people still don't understand what a hegemonic power the United States is. Snowden has nowhere else to go because of how much power the US wields over the "free" world. The only people willing to shelter him are countries with their own Stasi programs who can use Snowden as a shield to justify them. "Shut down your own Stasi before you criticize ours."
Why does Snowden need to be a martyr? Are the principles he stood up for only worth as much as his suffering? Bin Laden suffered a lot for his principles, did that make his cause more righteous?
