If Snowden has an ideology it is 'to do what's right by his personal ethics', I don't see any East vs West or other usual suspects like claim to a pre-packaged position, from what I've read about him and from him he genuinely wanted to make a stand for a public that does not care about their privacy being destroyed.

Too bad, really, he took one for the team and we failed to support him.

I don't know when ideology became a dirty word but I was not using it in that sense.
