“Edward Snowden is trying to gin up domestic unrest in the US”
Good! That’s what should be happening right now! People should be setting fire to cars and standing outside government buildings en masse armed to the teeth. That would be a reasonable and productive response to the current situation. Posting shitty subtweets while working on your substack article about voting will do less than nothing.
peaceful revolution
this might have happened a few times between factions of the bourgeoisie, but can't think of any proletarian revolutions where the bourgeois didn't resort to extreme violence
if the government doesn't care about non-violence, your peaceful protest simply becomes a massacre.
peaceful revolutions are peaceful due to the restraint of the government that is about to get overthrown, not due to the restraint of the protesters. hardly surprising they are so rare. and i'd say that given the complete disregard for human life shown without exception by all members of the American ruling class, peaceful revolution is impossible in america.
Maybe Snowden wouldn't have to post from Russia if the US government weren't hell bent on destroying his life for blowing the whistle on evil shit that would have been written off as a paranoid conspiracy otherwise.
I mean the government has just basically stripped a fundamental right from half the population. What's more, the people who did this are entirely unelected, there's so few of them you could cram them into a minivan with more legroom than an average economy flight and the process was so opaque that the only way we found out about it was through someone leaking the plans.
I'm not entirely sure what other option people have at this point aside from public unrest really. That seems like probably the sort of thing a functioning society should do and I swear to fucking god if I see any of these shitheads condemning protests and in the same breath criticising the Bad Country of The Week for being authoritarian I might actually scream wordlessly into the void of the night sky. Or the internet I guess.

And then send that minivan driving off a cliff.
You know Brandon would just replace them all with more far right people in the name of fairness. Sadly, this is the best we are ever going to have.
To be fair to Biden, he probably wouldn’t replace them with further right people, but whoever he’d appoint would still be bad.
To continue being fair, I'm pleasantly surprised by his pick for the court.
Snowden could post the name of the street he lives on they’d still call it “an undisclosed location in Russia” because he left out the house number
I'm genuinely surprised to hear that given how powerful the Orthodox Church is over there.
who even is this guy, is there any remote reason I should care what he has to say
