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.

    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!

      Sure he had some shady connections, but all accusations of actual wrongdoing supposedly comitted by Assange himself were brought forward, sourced and verified by the same US authorities, that employed or protected the criminals he exposed, which makes them basically worthless.

      What he actually DID do without a doubt is do the people of this planet a massive service by releasing proof of countless warcrimes, spying and other illegal activities by US agencies and individuals.

        Opposing the Lukashenko regime is being a criminal?

        I get tankies and right-wingers, they actually know what Assange is about.

        But allegedly well meaning people thinking that he is some sort messiah or saviour, that’s what’s sad.

        He is a genuine supporter of russian imperialism and he has no qualms with sending opposition activists to hellish prisons, all the while positioning himself as some sort of fighter against US imperialism.

        Former russia today employee, Julian Assange after British prison, Volodymyr Tsema-Bursov, Ukrainian POW, after 20 month in russian captivity.

        And Assange support the russian regime and enables what they do to captives.

          Nah dude, your brain is cooked beyond saving if you blame Assange for what the russians decide to do with public information. Not even worth responding to this schizo level response tbh.

      Then prosecute him for that. But the US doesn’t care about activists, does it? Why do you think US is after him specifically?

      What about, what about, what about?

      Post the actual proof rather than a link to a wikipedia article.

      You do BETTER.

        The Wikipedia article is a good starting point if you wanted to actually get an alternative perspective.

        But you don’t.
