lol, come on bro. Your system of determining which whistleblowers you like seems completely arbitrary. If Snowden showed actual lawbreaking then eh, you still wouldn't reallt care, and would still not give him the same credit you give Reality Winner for doing the same thing.
And the reason you give is that you like knowing the Saudis murdered MBS, the implication being that because of Snowden you don't know those things anymore. Which, uh, has a pretty major contradiction in it!
And most of all you just don't care to become less ignorant. You tagged Snowden as a "libertarian-ish bro", mind is made up, no need to know the facts involved. Bad look.
