Julian Assange is free.
After living in a cell for more than 5 years, he can soon go home and meet his family again.
I’m wondering if it was worth the sacrifice. The governments and tech companies are spying more than ever on everyone.
He’s a traitor, and because of him many people died. I hope he’s not ok. Edit: downvote me all you want, but that won’t change the fact that Assange gave very sensitive information to regimes and dictators that has gotten innocent people murdered.
You might be interested to learn about a couple actual trained spies.
guess what they were accused of?
Treason is not what you think it is. Its a nice word to throw around when you are angry at someone but it has a very specific meaning.
@Zoldyck@lemmy.world
Bush, Trump, Clinton and Biden all got more innocent people killed than Julian. Their crimes all dwarf anything he is accused of let alone is guilty of. If you are not a literal bot, you have allowed yourself to be programmed by intelligence agencies into hating the man who exposed the crimes over the men who committed them.
The consequences of doing a bad thing are on the person doing it, not the whistle blower.
If they wanted to keep their secrets, they should of made sure they weren’t so fucking rough. Nobody would of leaked any files if those heli pilots were saving children instead of joking after killing them.
Are you talking about the claim that he endangered CIA agents? That was just some bullshit they cooked up to get him on, and I don’t think anybody even claimed that somebody actually died.
Imagine thinking exposing the CIA should be a crime, because the poor small beans CIA agents need protection. Who wouldn’t want to protect imperial blackmailers, hit men, weapons smugglers and death squad commanders?
You are the traitor for siding with the oppressor.
You are the traitor for siding with the oppressor.
Right supporting Lukashenko’s regime is such a noble endeavour!
Not a bot. Assange helped regimes and dictators to kill US informants. Innocent people in Syria and Belarus for example got murdered because of the information Assange gave them. Look it up if you don’t believe me.
Regurtitating the same talking points your government uses for people that reveal its atrocities are “bots” no matter how you spin it. There are tankie bots and you are a wankie bot.
Tell us more about how revealing war crimes and global surveillance are traitors, bot.
Zoldyck is not lying.
Look up Assange and his connection with Israel Shamir, who helped Lukashenko’s regime in Belarus target opposition activists.
This wasn’t a mistake, he knew what he was doing.
People just buy into the PR around him (also spread by security services in russia and not only) without taking a critical look at his actions.
Do better!
