No, he published a tiny portion of it, and gave the rest to Russia. There were literally dozens of ways he could have brought attention to these programs without having to hand over classified information to hostile governments. The USA has federally run whistleblower programs, there are hundreds of politicians who would have gladly worked with him, and, outside of government, there are agencies like the ACLU which would have given their left (and possibly also right) testicle to take up his case. Only geniuses like yourself and Snowden would decide that the best way forward is to defect to Russia.

Right, right, so when the government breaks the law, the only possible way to "call it out" is by stealing classified information and taking it to a hostile country. This has been such a productive discussion; you are SOOOO much smarter than me! Einstein should be quoting you instead of the other way around.

We can always depend on good ol' Bill to bang on about how "other countries" are soooo much better while providing no actual examples.

Wrong. "U.S. prosecutors Thursday unsealed conspiracy charges against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, alleging he worked with former Army intelligence analyst-turned whistleblower Chelsea Manning to hack a government computer and carry out one of the largest leaks of U.S. classified information in history." https://www.pbs.org/newshour/w...

It's a good analogy. Everyone pretends to hate it, but secretly they all want to visit and eventually retire there.

Yeah ... just think ... Trump wouldnt be on trial now if only he hadn't grown up impoverished! You're a genius dude.

Yes, let's replicate the economic programs of China to see if we can get our incarceration rate below theirs.

One might almost suspect that juvenile criminals get treated differently than adult criminals.

Perfect example of why 4 year olds MUST have the right to vote too, right Einstein?

Now why would you talk about taol revenue unless you're trying to mislead people? I'd really like to know. Because the fact of the matter is that no single company has come close to a trillion in revenue, and their actual profits are a small fraction of revenue. For instance ExxonMobil (the biggest American company) last year brought in roughly 400 billion in revenue, but only saw about 50 billion in profit. And of course I'm sure you'd like to ignore the fact that a few years ago they were losing $10-20 billion per year.

It's more than the price of full FTTH I'm my part of the USA also. You don't seem to understand the concept of different areas having different pricing.

You do not need to submit a credit card to book a hotel room. The hotel will happily accept fistfuls of cash as a deposit for damages. I can't think of literally anything which actually requires a credit card in the USA.

Anonymity and privacy are what you need when you've already lost all of your rights. Nothing stems from them except for the ability to maybe continue doing what you want to do despite living under a soul-crushing dictatorship.

Yeah, it's nice having hobbies.

Don't worry, if you follow those news sources you'll be angry about white supremacists, transphobes, racism, evil conservative protestors with bouncy castles and horns of mass destruction, mass graves at residential schools, and birth control being illegal, which works out to the same thing.
