Agreed 100%.
Also Assange is a whistleblower and is in jail for it... Sad.
Assange is not really a whistleblower... He's a journalist who published the content whistleblowers gave him
More like an editor, even. Making the persecution just so much sadder.
Fuck Assange, he worked with the right wing to get Trump elected, not an impartial leaker, not a journalist, not a whistleblower, he's a right wing shill:
Calm down glowie, everyone hates your 3 letter agencies, not just Assange.
@DarkGamer just to be clear are you arguing that this means he should be subject to solitary confinement and other treatments the US govt likes to mete out to suspected terrorists etc?
I'm arguing that I have no sympathies remaining for the man. he seems good at alienating others and is on the wrong side of history.
@DarkGamer yes I get that part.
The bit I'm asking you about is whether that means that it's okay for him (or anyone else you have no sympathy for) to be subjected to these kinds of treatment.
