“Under-35s who think Snowden did a good thing are not people who believe ‘the rules’ governing institutions are made for the benefit of ‘all of us,’ or that information is secret for a good reason. These are people who believe those in charge will screw them over without thinking twice, and that secrecy exists mainly to hide the dirty stuff those in authority are up to. But the entire system depends on this generation for its grunt work.
So we can expect a lot more leaks on the Manning and Snowden scale in years to come, and a lot more doxings on the scale of HB Gary and Stratfor. The system is creating its own gravediggers.”
