The democratic west out there engaging in one of the longest and most dramatic repressions of a journalist in history.
Absolutely disgusting how radlibs turned on him as soon as the media blamed Wikileaks for “aiding Russia”
The r/worldnews thread is full of people calling him a Russian agent, traitor, etc.
Even back when Wikileaks stories first broke and I was a lib I was shocked at how bloodthirsty everyone around me was for him. Same thing with Snowden and Manning - the most humanist-seeming libs will drop all that shit instantly if you can be portrayed as an enemy,
So yeah not surprised at all that Stormfront is in full on “enemy of the state” mode.
I remember talking with my ex about him, I remember her saying “I used to be very interested in what he had to share, but when he started going after Hillary I thought, wait a minute… who’s side are you on?” I’ll never forget the way she said that. Like, this dude is exposing grotesque violations of human lives, but he dared to cast a stain on the golden goddess Hillary Clinton, so it’s actually cool and good that he should rot in prison forever.
Also had an argument with this ex where I brought her to the jaw-dropping admission that she believed Cuba should surrender to the US’s siege and give up their right to self-determination, purely because it would mean the people of Cuba would theoretically suffer less under the rule of the empire whose boot is currently upon their throat.
Amazing. He needs to move to a decent country and then write a book about the horror he experienced once he gets some psychological counseling for the PTSD. This man’s a fucking hero.
I’m glad he’s free but goddamn I don’t think he’s going to be straight for awhile, dude is really going to need some time to heal. Solitary confinement is torture and it’s crazy how the prison system uses it with such ease.
Fuck the US, seriously
