So disappointed no EU government is willing to stand up against mass surveillance by actually giving him asylum. They're all a bunch of cowards and hypocrites.

So disappointed no EU government is willing to stand up against mass surveillance by actually giving him asylum. They're all a bunch of cowards and hypocrites. Brazil sounds like a pretty good place for him to be, though, and he'd be getting the chance to work closer with Greenwald, too.
- weland 13y agoA good portion of the EU is made up of NATO members. It is, indeed, disappointing for me as well.
- salient 13y agoThat's no excuse. Democracies should stand up to democracy and human rights, not defend its "allies" at all costs - especially when said "allies" are backstabbing them by spying on every one of their citizens. That's why I think it's more cowardice than anything - or hypocrisy in the sense that they're just as bad, and would be just as bad as US in their situation, while pretending they aren't as bad right now.
