What are your thoughts on Bradley "Chelsea" Manning? He violated the Espionage Act at least as much as Snowden did.
#[0] is a fucking hero. Showing the depths of evil of the 5-eyes deep state, how we’re ‘all in this together’.
LOVEINT came up in conversation with a good friend of mine who is as far left as I am right. We disagree on every problem and every solution.
Except we agree on how heroic Snowden and Assange are. We agree on ‘fuck the government’ on that point (I’m FTG on every point 😂). We remember how disgusting that story was and how the worst offenders faced no punishment - https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/09/loveint-on-his-first-day-of-work-nsa-employee-spied-on-ex-girlfriend/amp/
Discussion
Tier below in terms of importance of whistleblowing from Snowden and Assange who have made unique contributions in exposing how deep the State goes.
Important like a dozen others, none of whom receive the recognition they deserve. The record is huge and sure it beats others in length but importance is another vector: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jul/30/bradley-manning-wikileaks-revelations
Manning’s only difference is the Obama pardon. I wonder if it had anything to do with trans but Bradley or Chelsea, went through some fucked up shit in revealing more of the deep state’s insanity.
