No idea what else he could’ve done. But Snowden is beyond a hero, to me. He had major balls to do that, and I despise anyone who says otherwise. Its insane to think how brainwashed much of the country is, that a large group of idiots out there would actually think of him as a traitor. They’d even ask “well if he was so brave, why’d he run?” What the f-ck else was he supposed to do?
Governments are supposed to be afraid of their people, not the other way around. If anything, what he did was the most American thing anyone has done in a while. Check the Constitution. Its too bad most Americans are cowardly or unwilling to risk anything in order to stand up to the government corruption that’s been in place for the last 40 to 50 years.
Look at Occupy Wall Street. That could’ve been successful, but the media railroaded them and everyone took it as a joke. Naturally, a while ago, those corrupt people in power learned that the media was the key to brainwashing the American idiots. Now, the dumbest people in our country stay glued to Fox News or MSNBC and think they’re “informed.” Ironically, the most pure information is probably going to come from the media source most everyone doubts as credible: the internet. Not that the government hasn’t been trying for years to take THAT over. Net Neutrality probably won’t last forever. SOPA failed, but they’ll keep trying to take the internet over, too.
Anyway, back to Snowden. He’s like someone out of an action movie. Like The Bourne Identity or something. I kind of think of it like this: if the US government hates something or someone, they (the hated party) is probably doing something right. Any small dose of credibility they had went away after those WMD’s in Iraq were found. Sure, they were invisible and imaginary and they killed thousands of people for them, but that’s no problem! Let’s just keep trusting these old, slimy f-cks and following their every word!
Like I said, no one nowadays has a job, people are still losing their homes, and America is more-or-less a “second world” country. (We’re 16th place overall, which is a sh-tty position, considering only the UK, France, and Greece are lower “First World” countries than America.) There isn’t exactly “much to lose” as far as protesting and rallying against this corrupt “two-party” system of Asshole in Blue versus A Slightly Bigger Asshole in Red. It blows my mind that a racist elitist billionaire robot came this close to running the country in 2012. Not that Obama has done anything. Charismatic and cool, but just as useless as any of the rest of them. Obama made damn sure 2008 was the last time I’d ever vote for one of the big two candidates, if I even vote at all.
Its messed up how great the US used to be. How this USED to be a place you could be proud of. Even in the 90’s, America used to be great. Nowadays, its an embarrassment. An utter joke, full of lazy, obese, uneducated religious losers and a corrupt government. An “okay” at best country if you’re wealthy. An “utter sh-thole full of religious retards and uneducated morons” if you’re not wealthy or in any position of power. Our country’s only high points are Hollywood and our freedoms, and our “freedoms” are just an illusion. Sure, America isn’t as sh-tty as Syria, but it’s a horrible, horrible country to live in in 2014.
So, yeah. The fact that everyone is not cheering Snowden as a hero and trying to get a holiday (even an “unofficial” one) named after him makes me lose any remaining faith I had in this sh-tty, once-great country. I can’t wait to move to Toronto. To think, in the 90’s, Canada was considered a second-rate US. Nowadays, America isn’t even a second-rate Canada.
Rant over.
