    All over the world we see ruling parties aligning to protect the powerful. Principle is the only public defender; applaud it on any side.

        Deleted prior tweet as it was being misinterpreted as a standalone rather than a part of the entire tweetstorm. Curse of 140 strikes again.

        Get your point and agree but "any side" is taking it a bit far - e.g. a principled fascist is not to be applauded.

        Fascism and principles are mutually exclusive. So, technically, Snowden is right.

        There are plenty of principled right wing people who believe things that endanger people, the left and right are not equatable
