It scares me how many comments I see on this subject are something to the effect of "people don't deserve human rights unless I am able to empathize/agree with them."
Everyone deserves human rights and you are being disingenuous to suggest that the OC was saying otherwise.
They said they didn't feel very empathetic toward Assange because he didn't follow the journalistic practices he claimed he was.
Nowhree did the OC say anything bad should happen to Assange, nowhere did they suggest anything that wasn't legal, they didn't really say they had any hopes about the outcome for him.
You are the one who tried to make this argument about human rights instead of about Julian Assange.
Weird how this happens in every thread about the guy. Almost like there are paid posters watching out for this stuff.
Whew what a rollercoaster.
Me, reading your comment: Hmm, this comment by @andyburke is right, I was too hotheaded, I should apologize to the original poster.....
Me: ... it is about human rights tho...but maybe I jumped the gun a bit...
Me: .... record scratch followed by laughter. I'd love a job where I was paid to post the stuff I post, though.
Do you seriously think this corner of the fediverse is filled with people paid to change your opinion? These sites are in their infancy, way too small, the only shills around here are for fake Adderall. It's one of the things I like about it.
My advice to the paranoid is get yourself a kbin account so you can literally see who upvotes what. That will end your paranoia about cabals.
