I’m just pissed off he got himself out of the rape charges by hiding in a closet for long enough.
The hiding I kind of have sympathy for because he was raised in an Australian cult named “The Family” - which was a matriarchy in which he and other children were made to silently hide in the walls when the authorities came.
So his issues with women and propensity to hide from authority figures I can kind of understand on a pathological level. Doesn’t make it excusable, I just have sympathy for being a bit messed up in his personal life.
Same. Instead of actually trying him for something he might have actually done, he’s being persecuted by US because they are embarrassed their dirty secrets got exposed.
He’s an information terrorist that’s why he’s going down. He had secrets about everyone but released only the ones that would help his side. That doesn’t make him a noble whistleblower, that makes him a manipulator.
You just described every single corporate journalist. They literally only work and release stuff that fits their company’s set narrative. That’s what freedom of press guarantees.
