>betrayed the trust of the government agency he worked for

He is, by definition, a traitor. The debate is if his action of treachery was noble. USA is a country that exists directly because of treason.

That's because Sup Forums is full of bootlicking cucks who like to pretend worshiping and submitting to the police and the military is the brave, independent and masculine stance to take on world affairs

You can believe he's both a traitor and a patriot at the same time

>patriot for exposing breakdown in checks and balances of government, erroding civil liberty protections
>traitor for the damage that revelation caused

He should be tried, convicted, serve some time in a min-security prison, then get pardoned

there are also people on Sup Forums who think the earth is flat

spy

reporting in

He is a traitor.

But is he a noble traitor?

He's literally the modern day Phillip Agee, who was also cheered on by hordes of useful idiots.

"muh metadata" is literally the only argument people have in favor of him

99% of what he exposed was related to foreign intelligence and had absolutely fucking nothing to do with domestic intelligence gathering and civil liberties

>there are also people on Sup Forums who think the earth is flat
They are 95% trolls from other boards trying to make Sup Forums look stupid to newfags

he did good then did wrong.

Mixed feelings about him. He shouldve stayed.

That guy is a fucking hero, I can't believe people hate on him. Wtf.

Slippery slope. Traitor by law, yet patriot for exposing tyranny.

>90% of normies in the Ree Ree world outside have no idea who this man even is. Welcome to the dumb ages

Except that 90% is gonna think he's a goddamn war hero after that Hollywood movie

it was a controlled leak to make the public think they know more than they do. Before the snowden leak was there really any doubt the government was spying on us

He's a dark knight allegory:

Americans (and 95% of the world for that matter) did not deserve someone who would forsake his comfortable life to bring out secrets almost no one would care about.
Yet he did, and his action did have some positive effects.

Those who call him a traitor are 1st degree "MUH SERVICE IN AFGHANISTAN" morons.

History will remember him as a great man, and buildings will be named after him.

He sits on several Open society foundation boards, and is a deep agent for George Soros.

He is literally a homo Zionist shill, just there to promote shit like Panama papers.

L I M I T E D H A N G O U T

not sure if bait or serious

This sums up Snowden, hey guys i'm a little fuqin robot. haha I sit on George Soros open society foundation boards and i'm a fucking deep agent.

ROBOTS AND SHIT.

It's true.

Controlled leak, agent placement inside Russia.

>there are people on Sup Forums right now who don't understand the definition of "traitor"

baka desu senpai
(filter me you fucker)

Sup Forums doesn't need trolls to appear stupid.

source: every single trump thread

Because he IS by the definition a traitor.

Just like Kukliński and despite the fact that he's got himself a place in the Powązki cemetary.

there's people on pol that don't know he exists to reinforce the illusion of the extent of nsa/cia surveillance and intimidate other countries
he works for the cia

you whiners sound like little girls

>DURR MOM READ MY DIARY AND *TOTALLY* RUINED MY LIFE

grow up

the NSA watches over us to keep us safe. Snowden put those efforts at risk

>the NSA watches over us to keep us safe

>then get pardoned

You mean released, right?

>hey
>hey guys
>remember that one time
>heh
>remember that one time we intentionally and irreversibly damaged our reputation globally and sent one of our agents into exile by pretending to be an oppressive police state

Literally this

Would you rather have your porn selections seen by a couple of nerds while they also watch a criminal plan out a mass murder, then send some cops to visit him or be completely secret and have tons of people die?

pardoning is a bit different than releasing

I don't see the problem in the NSA spying to be honest if you're an upstanding citizen you have nothing to worry about.

i dont believe you
in this context

Soros shill

Ha, no.
It's all downhill from here on privacy
He proved undeniably that what a lot of people suspected was taking place, but the people who denied it was happening just accepted it without a care
I appreciate the vindication but nothing changed, and nothing's going to change, and him running off to Russia didn't do him any favors
Because Russia does the exact same shit in a much more crude and primitive way

>lolbertarians

Exactly.

I'm sure they say the same in best Korea!
Who cares about privacy right?

He's a good man and I condone his actions fully.

>implying starving peasants have internet access

If you kill someone who nobody likes, murdered his wife, raped his son, stole money and then lied about it... you're still a murderer.

Check your morals not your definitions.

You're figuratively retarded

Controlled opposition.

>He is, by definition, a traitor.
And people who illegaly spied on citizens are criminals. How many of them are jailed again?

>nothing to hide nothing to fear 'argument'
