I thought he was like one of the most important whistleblowers of our time exposing war crimes and shit. Some of you don't wanna see him live another day, why is that?

uh huh... so after he's already arrested and detained inside the ecuadorian embassy, he takes an opportunity to have a webcam interview show distributed on rt...

after he's already internationally famous and has a shitload of money... he's "paid employee of rt" and that discredits everything he did for years before and after that...

you sound a lot like a paid government employee

(p.s. rt was a lot freer then and had some pretty good journalism about topics other than russia... but go ahead and keep repeating yourself like an idiot)

1 I’ve seen no evidence Assange is wealthy 2 Sure seems like cozying up to Russia is a decent escape plan when you’re worried about being locked up in the west 3 I never said all his leaks are bs, I rather appreciated what he and Snowden did. I just think he’s a self aggrandizing hypocrite 4 I could easily paint you as a Russian shill but that’d be fucking stupid because I have no evidence beyond “wahhh this guy on the internet has a different read of a situation than meeee”. I’m not sure if you’re an idiot or not, but it seems pretty clear you’re a prick. Bye.
