so i watched Citizenfour last night and not gonna lie it has me hyped the fuck up. Snowden is a goddamn patriot and i dont know if ive ever admired someone i have never met as much i do him. the sacrifice he made for us is incomprehensible and although im sure there were some alterior motives, that does not take away from the fact that he felt so strongly about his values, that he decided as ONE MAN to stand up to the United States Federal Government. think about that. think of the resolve it would take to take on Uncle Sam pretty much single handedly. obviously the reporters helped him take his story publicly but damnit hes just one guy against the most powerful country in the world. its incredible. the man deserves a medal and a mouth a wrapped around his cock for the rest of time.
and then i feel awful thinking how i have neither the mental capability or moral fortitude to do anything of even remotely that caliber.
