“citizenfour” opened in pittsford today and there were only 3 people in the audience, apart from my husband and i. when asked what his greatest fear was by glenn greenwald, rather than mention the immense disruption and risk to his own life, snowden said he was worried that nothing would change: “people will see in the media all of these disclosures. they’ll know the lengths that the government is going to grant themselves powers unilaterally to create greater control over american society and global society. but they won’t be willing to take the risks necessary to stand up and fight to change things to force their representatives to actually take a stand in their interests.” invasion of privacy means an end to freedom of speech, an end to liberty. it means that we have no agency whatsoever. snowden described the NSA and their work as the most powerful and extensive system of oppression in human history. pls watch this film.
