    I’m going to let you in on a little secret here.

    The people you are telling about this are not the people who have the power to do anything about it.

    So all you have accomplished by sharing this is making people who are completely powerless feel bad.

    Congratulations, you’ve made things worse.

      People who have don’t have power shouldn’t be talking about bad things they can’t change, because you’ll make other powerless people feel bad. Powerless people should just shut up.
      Isn’t that basically what you’re saying?

      Edward snowden can’t just bomb the NSA. But at least he left his family and nationality to expose it.
