Hello anons. Hello, Q squad. I'm sure the relevant people know who I am, and what I've been doing over the past five years or so, but for everyone else, I'm the anon who speaks up defensively whenever Q calls Edward Snowden an enemy agent.
Anons here have called me lots of names for expressing such beliefs. It doesn't matter to me what they say. Goes without saying, I'm still convinced that he's a good guy, and that anyone saying anything different, is probably not.
This question is directed to the Q squad specifically. I am guessing there are a few NSA people on the Q squad, though I have no way of knowing. There's probably a few more posting as anons, but I would appreciate if anons would avoid calling me a faggot like usual for asking this question, or even replying, because this question is directed to a specific group, not everyone.
My fundamental beliefs tell me that mass surveillance is tyranny and an immediate precursor to genocide. They also tell me that the NSA is the bad guys, because they practice mass surveillance. These beliefs are practically immutable - I've been following Q since day one (CBTS,) and despite the gentle value-massage this place inflicts on its subscribers, I remain true to my own values. I will never view Ed Snow as anything but a hero, and I will almost certainly always view the NSA as the bad guys. This place calls them patriots, but every fiber of my being tells me different.
Almost. Certainly.
I'm willing to give NSA a chance to convince me that they're not the bad guys. Thing is… you've got to figure out a way to do that, without shitting on Snowden. I'd give the guy my life, that's how certain I am that he's good. I absolutely think he did the right thing, the moral thing, and no matter how many millions of sockpuppet voices I hear telling me to believe otherwise, I remain fixed in that opinion. I do not have the same view of NSA. I'm pretty sure I'll name my first male child Ed, just to give you an idea of how serious I am about this. If you doubt me, just look at my post history. You know the one. Stored in Utah. ;)
So yeah, looking to hear from you folks. Just email me or something if this thread 750s before any responses come in.
Again, anons, please don't reply. I am looking for an answer from a specific group of people. If you convince me, and assuage my concerns I'll stop doing what I'm doing, and have been doing since June 5, 2013.
Cheers chaps.
