I personally do, he actually risked his life to release information about the government spying on people. And there are for sure more advanced ways now. Even your phone is listening.

      Unironically true. Wish we lived in the timeline where war crimes mattered and those war criminal bastards were rotting in prison. Now because the USA let their own war crimes slide, it’s made autonomous killing systems permissible and civilian casualty rates nearly completely ignored as the horrible precedent of today and on. I hate warfare with a passion

      Eh, the EU makes a big deal of freedom, and has stood up to the US in the past, but here there are actual laws and regulations to follow, and if we stop extraditing US citizens to the US, the US would stop extraditing our citizens to us.

              Hey, thanks for telling me, I know about tankies, as well as the instances they run, though I don’t check every user to see where they come from.

              I’ll tag him accordingly.

                  Are you not familiar with imperialism? I can provide more links, but you seem to be having a difficult time consuming the material I’ve already provided.

              I don’t generally dwell on the libshits like yourself, some will never learn the art of thinking critically, but I would like to point out that the best way to control the population is to divide it. You’re either a fed or unknowingly lending them a hand.

                The irony of calling someone a “lib-shit”, over what is, in the grande scheme of things, a minor quibble, in the literal same sentence they talk about how people are dividing the population intentionally to control them.

                Lmfao, you’re the one dividing the population you unselfreflective dipshit. Grow up.

                  The irony of simping for the west in an Edward Snowden thread. Kindly go fuck yourself.

              That article made me vigorously expel air from my nose.

              What’s the #1 way that France still controls its former African colonies?

              “1. These countries must officially speak French”

              Did you know England controls the United States? How? England makes the US speak English. I’m super serial! This isn’t a laughing matter, so stop laughing at this matter.

              Oh, I had no idea about this…

              The colonial tax seems especially evil.

                Luckily it seems entirely fabricated like many other claims on that post in Pulse Nigeria’s Food and Travel section
