What did you learn today? Share it with us!

We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**



Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Two of us, Ellsberg and Noam Chomsky, testified for Assange at his extradition hearing last year. In Ellsberg's words then, the WikiLeaks publications that Assange is being charged for are "amongst the most important truthful revelations of hidden criminal state behavior that have been made public in U.S. history." The American public "needed urgently to know what was being done routinely in their name, and there was no other way for them to learn it than by unauthorized disclosure."

Assange is a rapist (alleged) narcissistic psychopath. He uses everyone and throws them away. Chelsea. The women he raped (cough 'allegedly raped'), his own Wikileaks team. You name it, he's pumped it and dumped it.

Assange is a Putin puppet piece of shit who deserves to rot in a cell for the rest of his miserable life.

Assange gave us Trump. Trump gave us COVID disinformation. COVID disinformation gave us over one million American deaths.

So fuck Assange and fuck everyone and everything associated with him.

Love that word "alleged"

Also love the 0 proof of anything you posted

Proof is how I spend my time.

Here is a 30 part profile of Wikileaks, with sources on every page.

Profile In Focus | Wikileaks

An overview of the 2010 Wikileaks Document dump.

2010. United States. Wikileaks Document Dump.

A majority of a chapter on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Russia Is A Terrorist State: Part 2 (2000s)

An overview on U.S. and Russia Intelligence that I'm working on.

Profile In Focus | United States Intelligence & Russian Disinformation (In Progress)

In addition to an overview on the 2016 Election that I'm also working on.

2016. United States Presidential Election Interference. (In Progress)

I'll be working on an overview of Assange directly in the next chapters, but the accumulating sources can be found in the middle of this page.

Russia Is A Terrorist State: Part 4 (2016 - 2019) (In Progress) You can CTRL-F " Profile In Focus | Julian Assange " to find them.

And here's a 37 part overview on the U.S. Green Party that I'm finishing up.

Profile in Focus | The Green Party of the United States (In Progress)

Again, sources are at the bottom of every part.

Proof asked. Proof offered.

You didn't post sources you just posted your blog with a bunch of random news articles, none of which even supports your claim

You'd have to have had your head in the ground for the last decade to not know that stuff.
