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?

      Who are the ones determining what is “convenient” to Asange and what are their politics? Just because someone will make the accusation does not make it truth.

      He’s a leaker. He HAS to be selective. He might not even be getting valid info. He might be getting doctored info that would expose his sources if he leaked it, etc, etc. There is every valid reason he has to not publish something that people ignore when they make such accusations.

        Wikileaks is accused of not releasing information that would be harmful to the reputation of Russia.

              Because he didn’t release something (dunno what because that’s never been specified, but he should have pulled something out of his ass, I guess) about the other side, therefore his leaks regarding the DNC make him a Russian asset.

              Give your head a shake.

              Again, and that makes him someone we should ignore and call for the death of?

              I understand why people wouldn’t like him as a person. I’m not seeing the connection to OP’s question about him being publically hated to the point where people want him dead.

              THAT … is absolutely not at all what you reference. People don’t want him dead for simply avoiding stepping on Russian toes. I’m trying to get you to think about why that is.

        Stop right there.

        The wiki leaks ama on reddit openly admitted to selectively releasing to further their own agenda.
