For a specific case study briefly alluded to in the article: I was trying to figure out if the GOP's apparent adoption of Snowden and Greenwald is anti-"deep state" or pro-Russia, but eventually I realized that I was probably tugging at the same thread. Despite my passionate disdain for the GOP, I'm not opposed to keeping state-backed surveillance in check. "But how?", is the question. Tangent: I've also decided that Greenwald is a self-promoting prick. Still ambiguous on Snowden, but by and large, I think Edward did us all a service in the form of a wake-up call, back in the day.
