So he did something wrong (exposing 'legal' things) and did the world a favor.
The US has a brandished reputation. Snowden made it worse and could actually prove his cases.
As a German, Snowden is awesome. I wouldn't give a rat's ass about whether you consider it legal to spy on this country. You (the state) suck. We learned this once more, got proof, understand that the US of A is not friendly and cannot be considered socially compatible - the values don't line up.
Yeah - I don't think he should return to the States. I think we should fire a politician or two over here and pay him a pension for life. And _really_ limit our cooperation with that aggressive/invasive country.
- rthomas6 11y agoYou know that German intelligence cooperates with the NSA to this day, right?
- darklajid 11y agoWhat's your point? I didn't write anything about my feelings towards Germany and frankly, patriotism is a crazy/meaningless concept in my world. We can discuss Germany all day and night and I wouldn't run out of things I hate or dislike about it¹, I guess. And at no point would I feel the need to 'defend' the random place I accidentally grew up in. I can express how disgusted I am about exhibit A and have still enough of that feeling left for B, C and DE. ①: Just like with JS there are The Good Parts as well, of course.
- TheCoelacanth 11y agoAre you prohibited from disliking things because your own government is involved? As an American, I sure hope not.
