You drive me crazy Ramil!You know perfectly well that the USA is out of order yet you appear to be defending it on a technicality.
As for morality yes. I agree that it's an subjective term. Unless you decide you believe in a particular religion. I happen to think that Biblical morality is good and a reasonably standard for right and wrong. But you can't force this on others, it must be a personal choice. It was never intended to be foundation of national laws.
And the Bible doesn't exactly comment on the morality of spying on the whole world and saving+datamining it indefinitely.
That's my personal morality.
Perhaps it's covered in "Thou shalt not bear false witness" or "Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people." (I'm trying to think o something applicable from the bible...)
And yes, I value personal and religious morality OVER state morality. Christianity says that people should follow the laws of the land except when the contradict with Christianity. I think that makes sense. And I think Christianity is against all war, so killing anyone in the army, is wrong.
With this I am not saying that I am living a 100% biblical life, just that it's an external and objective sourse of morality that stands outside things like nation states and culture.
The state has burned women at the stake for witchcraft, discriminated against people because of religion or ideology, and been tools in the hands of corrupt rich people. I maintain that it's morally defendable to go against the state as Snowden did, if you are genuinely convinced that the state is acting immorally. What are we otherwise.... state drones.......?
And I don't believe for a second that the surveillance is protecting us from terrorism!
I think we are seeing the beginning of a fascist globalist dictatorship that will make 1984 look like child's play.
Or genuinely, the scenario from Revelation in the bible with antichrists empire and the mark of the beast without which you can't buy or sell.
