I have felt great pity for Snowden all these years, his personal sacrifice was all for nothing, a short news cycle later and nobody cared.




People care but lots of people were brainwashed by politicians and the media to think it's no big deal, and even that Snowden is a bad guy. I've met somewhat intelligent people in real life who have zero appreciation for his disclosure, seemingly oblivious to the fact that whistleblowers are unwanted by the establishment. Does anyone seriously think they didn't know that what they were doing was highly illegal and inappropriate?
