This is stupid, targeting individuals at 'random' is pointless and won't help anything. There is no way to tell whether or not a Character even holds a specific view that they portray. It's called acting for a reason, and this is why "faking it until you make it" is so popular. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KwEDgpSWxo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWf2LLaHkM0

All that matters post Snowden Revelations is Game Theory - as if this isn't how it's always been. It doesn't even matter what he says now, he has established himself as a Character. Whether he's even a legitimate individual is irrelevant. The fact that he and WikiLeaks both choose to release their documents over time instead of in a single dump gives them the advantage of having or following a script. The only ones who don't know what's on those documents are the public. There honestly doesn't seem to be a reason to trust either party and I doubt either will ever be in any real danger unless they so choose so, because that's all people seem to want in life is to be remembered after death.

The only thing that could ever work is individuals in power promoting a strictly decentralized or public society. Yet, this will never happen because High School never ends, and someone always wants to run the show. So, if the whole worlds a stage how come you aren't looking at the stars?

The downside of this is that the public/media have a short attention span - 'oh look, the 3rd NSA story this week', and then what probably should've been front page material gets hidden away
