      Actually… Yes, but only for saying that Julian Assange isn’t a hero to be worshiped.

      He had a good idea, but his ties to Russia taint everything.

      Per the fact that he’s repeatedly turned down leaks critical of Russia.

      There’s a certain type of person who strongly believes in binaries. They rightly see that the US is shit, and somehow believe that makes anyone who “stands up to the US” automatically good.

      It’s half of the Tankie mentality. The other half is actively cheering for dictators and the murder of “non-conformists”, whatever shape they take.

      On a final note, https://ddosecrets.com/ is what WikiLeaks looks like with protections for innocents mentioned in the leaks.

      WikiLeaks has such a policy, but have leaked names of activists and whistleblowers several times now.
