I believe Oliver Willis is categorically insane and manages to obfuscate the fact with the impassioned mission oriented view that progressives can waltz on a cliff unaware.
However, what he's doing with this tweet is trying to carve a little of the latest Vladimir Putin bloodletting for himself by noting the silence of Edward Snowden. I put myself in hot water with Mike, the cigargoyle of Twitter, and Mike's friends, namely a Danish woman of whom I was quite fond, by tweeting to her and Snowden both that he was a traitor and should be shot, but I am less worried about whose ideology is tilting the seesaw while Kyiv smolders so much as I would like to point out a huge elision on the part of this American Independent writer: Snowden would more than likely put his life at risk if he attempted to speak as a traditional adversary of the Kremlin; if Snowden's Internet access hasn't been disrupted, it's highly probable it's being monitored; nothing even remotely newsworthy in the observation, just a very skillful way on keeping the spotlight focused, primarily on his zeal, full of sound and fury.
