Same reason people still fight for Edward Snowden: people still believe they're heroes for "exposing the truth".
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with supporting exposure of government corruption, incompetence and unethical behaviour, as long as it’s done properly.
What’s strange is the support that Julian Assange, a possible rapist and all-round prick, is still receiving. He’s just a man, a man of utterly compromised morals. We live in a society of laws and due process and he is not exempt from that, he’s just a coward.
Google exists. Seems every thread about this guy ends up with a dozen of these kinds of posts.
Yeah. The guy they support as some sort of activist journalist has been working with another government that engages in all of the actions they claim to be against. But with even less transparency, no freedom of press, more regressive values, etc.
Also, he (along with Russia) worked to put an aithoritarian in charge who has relaxed our rules of engagement leading to more civilian deaths when in combat, advocated murdering the families of our enemies, is a white supremecist, is maybe the most obstructionist president we've ever had, and attacks the free press and the constitution. They're liars and idiots who fantasize about being part of some grand revolution, yet unwittingly provide support for everything they claim to hate.
I have one question about Julian Assange: He spent years inside an embassy because he feared that sexual assault allegations against him were trumped up by deep state forces within the United States so they can get their hands on him and essentially black bag him like they did Chelsea Manning. Then he goes about blowing his credibility by siding with an Ex KGB weasel like Putin in an effort to screw said deep state by getting a firebrand like Donald Trump into the White House and fuck any other consequences of that.
So if and when he is "black bagged", and forced into solitary confinement for excessive amounts of time and denied food and denied basic human rights within Prison, and he eventually gets out and inevitably opens up about his experiences....How the fuck is anyone supposed to believe him after all the shit he has pulled with Wikileaks and Russia??
He fucked over an entire nation just to fight his personal battles while strutting around with this persona of being an ethical "journalist" who only seeks the exposure of the truth....Except of course when truth doesn't side with him. He is a narcissistic, ego-maniacal pariah.

Hes a rapist who smeared shit all over an embassy and abused his cats
I think you may be the victim of a timeline merger where none of this was a problem. Barenstein or Barenstien?

While I agree that it can be helpful to put a summary of the person in the OP for more obscure or country specific individuals, this is not one of those times. Julian has had many articles in western newspapers, and if you don't read them, many threads on this website alone. In this case the onus is on you.
I do not think it is the responsibility of this thread to provide background on who this guy is, especially when he has been a public figure for so long - hell, there is even a movie about him.
However, has rape been confirmed? I do not want to come off as delegitimizing the suffering of victims, but I thought the allegation was that he did not wear a condom when he said he was - which is considered rape in the country he is accused in.
The statute of limitation on 1-3 has expired, but 4) counts as full rape and can still be prosecuted. Crucially, it would still be rape even if he had used a condom. Him not even bothering to wear a condom when raping people is simply an aggravating circumstance.https://web.archive.org/web/20130310021505/http://www.judiciary.gov.uk/Resources/JCO/Documents/Judgments/assange-summary.pdf said:
Extradition hearing will be later this week. Hopefully he won't be send to US since seems like the charges are bullshit. He should face the music in Sweden tho.

My god, pick up a newspaper. Or even just watch the movie they made about him.
If he finds out he is going to be extradicted to the US, I wonder if he'll just try and up his sentence in the UK ?
I mean, if I was in his position and knew I'd end up in a hole and tortured in the US...I'd be tempted to do something while in UK prison to get my sentence extended (maybe pay off another prisoner to let me safely stab him or similar).

US, hearing is actually tomorrow.

Thank you. I had not read that and was only aware of the aggravated element.
This is something we should not allow to happen, even if the person is a shitbag.
