    This is on a different level than anything Snowden released.

    Snowden released the fact that the major internet companies in the US literally have full time CIA staff and locked rooms with servers

    Why is this on a different level? Is it because they’re ASIANS?

      One government is actively committing genocide against subsets of their population I’d say it’s a pretty big fucking difference.

      That Snowden releasing the facts and it being brought up in courts, state congress, and federal congress as well as national news all revolved around it being illegal in the USA.

      In the PRC it’s only illegal to talk about it.

      The long and short of it is even leftie Americans have internalised American exceptionalism, even if they aren’t cognisant of it. And the right are, well… Racist and don’t want to admit it.
