Comment on Ex-CIA computer engineer gets 40 years in prison for giving spy agency hacking secrets to WikiLeaks
Grimy@lemmy.world 4 months agoIf the gov didn’t want its secrets out in the open, they shouldn’t of been spying on their citizens. Maybe there would be less sympathy if the leaks didn’t bring to light the bombing of Bagdad full of civilians in the middle of the night and how the military hid it.
Maybe it was all for the money and Snowden is just a dick, but I’m glad he did it.

Several things can be true at once. We don’t have to be all-in on one side or the other of the Snowden affair. I’ve never understood why people seem so eager to pick a team on this issue.

People no like to think nuanced, simpler to think black or white.

That’s probably the best stance.
I guess I see the leaks as a direct consequence to the action of various agencies and military, and I’m conflicting villainizing Snowden and villainizing the leaks themselves.
The government got caught red handed and I can’t really see myself being on any side other than the one directly opposite to them on the issue.
