He gave up his life in the US to tell the people what the gov is doing. It's not like he then went and said hey Putin need some help destroying America? He just fled because otherwise the US would throw him in a hole for the rest of his life. What good would that do? It's not about martyrdom it's about getting the information out there. The information is out. Him being in a hole wouldn't do anything good for anyone.
- varjag 5d agoGave up his life? Why, he may have been living his best. A fully funded expat life in Moscow with some Jason Bourne cachet instead of scrapping by as a Sharepoint admin in the age of AI.
- sfn42 5d agoGave up his life in the US yes. You should read the whole sentence before responding. Ideally even the whole comment.
- varjag 5d agoI could swear "in the US" part wasn't there when I replied. Oh well.
- sfn42 5d agoIf I had edited the comment you would see an "edited" tag on it. I'll do it on this one. Edited to add this. Nevermind, there's no tag now. That's strange, I could swear that's a thing. Maybe I edited too early? Trying again now it's 18 minutes later. Still nothing, guess I've just imagined it?
- varjag 5d agoI don't think it ever was a feature on HN. Although I've seen that on Lobsters and some other forums.
