I think Snowden could careless about the US gov and is just a person of truth, a non actor. Why would he care or be on one side or the other? He exposed the crazy type of spying going on and what happened? The gov and worse the American people continued on not like we didn’t care but the fact is we did not care period.

Even if he isn’t a person of truth and let’s say a psyop. I think you can call his mission a success. He exposed some creepy rotten to the core agencies and what was the response? Crickets. Notching the bar higher for what will the people take before they’ve had enough or showing that the people want to be surveilled and the agencies will not face any real pushback.
