You should not be facing charges for refusing to take part in a criminal conspiracy and doing your best to cause the appropriate legal action to be taken to mitigate that criminal conspiracy. That statement should be completely uncontroversial.
- saraid216 12y agoYou're completely missing my point. Activism can very frequently involve being fired from your job (which is why many activists end up forming organizations and getting paid specifically for their activism) and being threatened with charges pressed. Having to deal with this inside the organization you're trying to change rather than outside of it isn't actually different. It's a different psychological experience (namely, it's far more hostile), but the threats don't change.

Snowden did try to talk to his superiors about this sort of thing. http://www.nbcnews.com/feature/edward-snowden-interview http://www.nbcnews.com/feature/edward-snowden-interview He makes it quite plain that he tried to go through 'channels' first.
