Lmao. Got me.

It’s not even close to what the person I responded to said. What the hell are you talking about?

Thanks for the heads up. They’re everywhere on this site apparently. Playing fucking mind games and spreading misinformation on every post.

God Bless America! 🇺🇸

What two militaries are most responsible for the defense of South Korea?

You’re quoting my sentence, yet responding with something completely different than what I said. Why?

If you think Trump is popular on Reddit, spend about 5 minutes browsing the site on any day of the week. That’s blatantly false.

That’s one of them. Can you name the other?

Our military is certainly aware of it.

It’s countering money laundering by the IRGC. Read up.

I assume you don’t use it then. I still do, but I’m trying to get away from it. What you just said is completely inaccurate, but that’s understandable if you don’t frequent the site. I have only seen that kind of language used on 4chan.

TIL you can also practice selective reading. Why do you think he hasn’t criticized the Russian government?

If anyone is interested, here’s what really happened:

“On June 21, 2013, the United States Department of Justice unsealed charges against Snowden of two counts of violating the Espionage Act of 1917 and theft of government property, following which the Department of State revoked his passport. Two days later, he flew into Moscow’s Sheremetyevo International Airport, where Russian authorities observed the canceled passport, and he was restricted to the airport terminal for over one month. Russia later granted Snowden the right of asylum with an initial visa for residence for one year, which was subsequently repeatedly extended. In October 2020, he was granted permanent residency in Russia. In September 2022, Snowden was granted Russian citizenship by President Vladimir Putin, and on December 2, 2022 he swore the oath of allegiance.”

Because it’s the internet, and different communities exist in different places. I watched Reddit deteriorate into a far-left cesspool like many others, and hoped this would be a place where talking to other people and having discussions is encouraged. More so, I thought this would be a place where delegating your political opposition as ‘subhumans’ would be countered the way it should be.

You’re welcome, asshole.

I thought Lemmy was different than Reddit. I’m not mad, just disappointed.

I don’t think you can say he didn’t make the decision to move to Russia at some point. You don’t get there accidentally, and his decisions most certainly brought him there. And that’s where he lives and has lived for many years now. I think you can see the hypocrisy of the situation. If he did what he did in America in Russia, he’d be dead. If he were FSB and leaked internal Russian intelligence, they would kill him. If government spying is his concern, he moved to the worst place, and practices very selective criticism. That’s primarily what I take issue with.

There’s no ‘freeing’ Snowden. He dumped US intel, got scared, and decided to move to Russia of all places, where he couldn’t be charged or extradited. He has now lived there for a significant portion of his life. For the entire war against Ukraine. If he were half as critical of Russian or Chinese spying as he is American, I might see things differently. Point is, he made his own choices and moves a long time ago. His allegiances are clearly elsewhere. Maybe he was dumb enough to believe the Russians and Chinese respect privacy more than Americans.

I’d rather see Navalny freed.

Thanks for mentioning this! Had no idea how much I want this.

No one asked but I use both too. Easily handled by a Synology NAS with Docker.
