Seriously, some of us have had her pegged for years and years. While the internet Left (and the Sanders campaign) were praising as some sort of 'progressive' hero. Many of us saw right through it.
And some high profile people like (ie. @HillaryClinton, @neeratanden, etc.) were viciously attacked for calling a spade a spade.
When you start as a hardcore islamophobe, war-on-terror hawk and genocide denialist, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see where this is all heading.
Shades of when all the 'anti-imperialist' dipshit on this site absolutely melted down when Trump bombed some empty air field in Syria. Slaughtering civilians is a-ok, just don't touch the innocent infrastructure.
A whole lot of Snowden revisionism on the TL today. I'll just say this: almost everything that him & Glem claimed from start to finish was either a gross exaggeration or an outright lie, including the US forcing him to Russia (that was his choice, egged on by Assange).
If he had just stolen and released the stuff about the bulk metadata, he would have some sort of claim to being a whistleblower. But he didn't. He also never once tried to raise any complaints internally, despite him lying and claiming that he had done so.
He stole several millions of other completely unrelated documents. By his own admission, he didn't read them all. After the metadata story, 90% of the 'bombshells" were just blowing US espionage against foreign actors ("wow the US spies on China!"). Not even close to WBing.
After months of ignoring the Trump stealing TS docs story and dead silence on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, you know he was going to be on this in a matter of hours. #priorities.
I promise you, this is all one single thread. Quite a journey.
