On this very day, ten years ago #Snowden flew from Hawaii to Hong Kong, starting his brave journey to tell the world how national agencies (not only in the #USA) are practicing illegal #surveillance to an extend we did not even want to think.
By coincidence, we saw the movie by #OliverStone today. If you haven't seen it, watch it.
I'm afraid not much has changed since then in general. Except, https has surpassed http (unencrypted web traffic), which is awesome. Let's continue this improvement!

It's appropriate to feel some nostalgia as the old year fades into oblivion. What I am feeling tonight, however, is not ordinary nostalgia. To a certainty, whatever the next year holds, it will be neither ordinary nor comforting. To commemorate it all, I am re-watching #OliverStone's #Platoon. It perfectly explains why, whenever I hear #liberals talk grandiloquent about preserving #AmericanDemocracy, it makes me want to vomit. /3
