I'm from Australia and I'm quite obsessed with this, so it's a pretty global feeling.

I think for those of us who have universal healthcare, it still has the David vs Goliath appeal.
I wonder. I still talk about snowden being a hero and I get some yahoo arguing with me. heroes of the millenia.
Snowden was a hero. Though, seeing him endorse RFK Jr. was a little questionable.
Snowden, and Greenwald by extension, are perfect examples of how being right about one thing doesn't make someone right about everything. I also have serious problems with how Snowden chose to whistleblow, though the actual whistleblowing was necessary.
Definitely made a deal with the devil. I can't say I wouldn't do the same in his shoes though, and I'm as anti-Russia as they come.
There were a lot of options for non-extradition before Russia. Even the route he took when he fled doesn't make a ton of sense unless he's selling the information to America's security competitors. My guess is he genuinely believed in leaking the information and he got paid to do it by one or more foreign countries.
I'm beyond fuzzy on the details. I'll have to read a refresher honestly.
Yeah Snowden disclosed important information in a responsible way; I don’t question his intentions. Assange on the other hand…
I've been surprised by how many people are celebrating this guy. Just goes to show how strongly the contempt is felt for the American healthcare system.
I think it's more about class warfare than healthcare specifically. All my European friends are cheering him on too despite not experiencing hardship with healthcare
Everyone in Canada here loves him too. It’s absolutely about class warfare.
My girlfriend was very much in the club of “murder is bad no matter what” until I explained exactly why a health insurance CEO would be targeted.
Will it? I'm already sensing it dying down. I think we need a refresher.
I feel like many people are secretly hoping for a refresher. Nobody just wants to say it out loud.
Someone should do a second CEO assassination but this time maybe the oil industry so they know that no CEO is safe.
People love a martyr. Our man Luigi has become one, and it's exactly what the cause has needed.
Those of us with UHC will not forget. I spent 2 years trying to get mental health help through UHC.
Yeah this may be a bit of a clumsy comparison but he’s giving me John Brown vibes.
My insurance company just sent me a completely coincidental survey about my views towards them. I’m looking forward to going off on them when I have a moment. I’m sure it won’t do much but at least it should be cathartic.
"How do you feel about our service, with 10 being the highest?"
doesn't circle 1-10, instead writes in "I have a gun"
The level of cohesion in opinions since this event is palpable. It should not be ignored.
It’s almost like the class divide is shining through the liberal/conservative rancor that’s been designed to hide it.
