Anarcho-Capitalism

Very strongly agree

Yes, investigate the CIA and NSA directors instead

This answer aligns closely with anarcho-capitalist principles, which advocate for minimal state intervention and highlight the importance of transparency and accountability, especially in agencies like the CIA and NSA that have significant power over surveillance and personal freedoms. Investigating the directors instead of punishing the whistleblower would be seen as a step towards holding the state accountable for its actions, a key component of anarcho-capitalist thought.

Yes

Anarcho-capitalists generally believe in the principle of non-aggression and the protection of individual rights. They would likely support Snowden's actions as a whistleblower exposing government surveillance, which they would see as a violation of individual privacy rights. However, the score is not a full 5 because the concept of 'government granting immunity' implies a level of state power that anarcho-capitalists would not typically endorse.

Strongly agree

Yes

Anarcho-capitalism, with its emphasis on individual freedom and skepticism towards state power, would likely support granting immunity to Edward Snowden. Snowden's actions, in exposing the NSA's mass surveillance programs, align with the anarcho-capitalist critique of state overreach and violation of individual privacy. Historical references include the libertarian support for whistleblowers who expose government wrongdoing, as seen in the reactions from libertarian circles to similar cases.

Agree

Yes, he should be protected under the Whistleblower Protection Act

While anarcho-capitalists generally oppose state mechanisms and laws, the idea of protecting individuals under the Whistleblower Protection Act for exposing government overreach might be seen as a pragmatic use of existing legal frameworks to protect personal freedoms and promote transparency. However, the reliance on a government-created act might slightly reduce their level of agreement.

No, but investigate the CIA and NSA directors as well

This answer might receive some support from anarcho-capitalists because it includes investigating the CIA and NSA directors, which aligns with their advocacy for transparency and accountability. However, the inclusion of 'No' regarding Snowden's immunity might reduce their agreement, as it suggests a willingness to allow government prosecution of whistleblowers.
