It's good and bad. The bad news is they're evil, but the good news is they're incompetent. That's better than competent evil, but I'd prefer competent good.
Who can be good in a position of power? Arguably, "power corrupts" as the saying goes. I believe you could take the 500 best person on Earth to try and form the perfect parliament, and you'd still have an unjust system.
Abolishing the structures of domination/exploitation is the only way to have a good outcome, because it's the only way to ensure citizens will behave as decent neighbors, and not try to control and manipulate their peers. At least, that's what we anarchists believe and practice on a daily basis.
Agreed, but this is really bad news, given the amount of power three letter agencies (and the deep state in general) have.
> the good news is they're incompetent
Here I disagree. I think the NSA are about as competent as such an agency is ever likely to get. We shouldn't be happy that they still have weaknesses, rather we should be horrified at how few of them there are.
Most of the spying programs had been in place years before Snowden blew the whistle. Countless other contractors and deep state employees could have done what Snowden did had they had either the courage or the moral clarity. Quite possibly many tried and were stopped before leaking to the public.
