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?

Because propaganda works.

  • The USA created some thoroughly disproven 'rape' charges (it was never a rape charge but that was the media reporting and most people don't read beyond headlines).

  • Classic painting of him as a traitor. We have 'evidence' you can't see that he works for [insert enemy here]

“We had several leaks sent to Wikileaks, including the Russian hack. It would have exposed Russian activities and shown WikiLeaks was not controlled by Russian security services,” the source who provided the messages wrote to FP. “Many Wikileaks staff and volunteers or their families suffered at the hands of Russian corruption and cruelty, we were sure Wikileaks would release it. Assange gave excuse after excuse.”

He's a traitor to the USA. Do you need anymore reason on Internet to be hated?

Not an American, nor was he living in America at the time. I fail to see how "foreign citizen acts in ways contrary to my country's best interests" equals "treason".

Now you understand what imperialism is or why they also hate Russian and chinese too.

He's the reason we got Trump in 2016. He likes to pick and choose which facts to leak and which to keep concealed in order to further his own agenda. Not to mention he gets this information from foreign agents who stole it from our government.

Edward Snowden is far more deserving of recognition for his whistleblowing. He didn't do it to personally profit from it, just because he knew it was the right thing to do.

More like Assange outright feel into that z-tard hole and never once apologise for it cos he has no conscience.
