Any evidence Wikileaks withheld info about the right? They release info that’s leaked to them. If Russia used Wikileaks to further their own agenda, that’s not a Wikileaks problem (as long as the information is accurate).

Notice how you’re angry at the people who released the info instead of the people who were corrupt and deplorable? PsyOps mission accomplished!

My understanding is that, while it’s likely the source of those leaks was Russia, it’s never been proven wikileaks withheld info about Republicans. I’ve seen the claims dozens of times, but never the evidence, so please share if you do… Otherwise, it’s insane to hate a journalist for withholding information they don’t have, just because it hurts your preferred political party.

EDIT T+2hrs: 35% downvotes and zero replies or supporting evidence. FYI I asked the same thing on Reddit about a dozen times over the last decade, and the result was always the same — If your position is “I can find no evidence for my claims, and don’t know why I hate WikiLeaks or Assange. I just do.” then you’re probably a psychological warfare victim…

I had legitimate bans and completely ridiculous power tripping bans. I was always able to create a new account though. The trick is to mix and match different VPN’s/IP’s with different browsers/containers.

Isn’t it great that a man who exposed governmental corruption and war crimes faced a harsher persecution and punishment than the corrupt governments and war criminals themselves?

Democracy™️

Every time I’ve joined a large group chat, I’ve always wished there were hundreds more people talking over the top of each other to make the whole communication thing more efficient!

Moreso the US oligarchy stealing tax payer funds and funneling them into the military industrial complex; using the guise of “aid” to conceal the reality.

I have zero doubt when we’re told “the US is the biggest supplier of foreign aid” much of that “aid” would make the average citizen feel the opposite of pride.

Actual hero’s. Yet, most of the villains who destroyed the hero’s lives were either rewarded with wealth and recognition, or part of the established oligarchy.

Although this might be accurate, what would be the true cost of gas if you removed all the subsidies and added the cost of fossil fueled warming from the continued GHG release? What will be the cost of gas if climate change really starts to pop and we undergo radically accelerated decarbonization? What is the projected cost of renewables + batteries + electric heating in 5, 10 or 20 years?

These are more relevant details regarding the building of infa that should be built to last, and is costed to last, for several decades.

If you think this is common, especially in the Philippines, you got mental illness.

The last thing anyone would expect in the ocean

Conservatives around the world are waging a last ditch effort (as always) on behalf of the fossil fuel oligarchs — against cleaner, cheaper, democratized, renewable energy generation.

They don’t want you to be able to power your home and car with the solar panels on your roofs. They want you to pay their cronies; a centralized generator, dependent on finite resources where all mining operations are also under their control, who can dictate the supply and demand of energy… meaning they can dictate the price of everything in society from the top down; the way they do with oil and all other fossils.

The party of Christian Feudalist law and order.

Rich kids turn out to be assholes!?!

This, or the humble royalty, is most fictional hero storylines. I unironically believe capitalism uses these tropes to condition the people into believing feudalism, authoritarianism, and genetic divinity are justifiable.

Remember! The rich are rich because they’re better than you! Not because them or their ancestors were murderers, slave owners, exploiters, criminal sociopaths, etc.

There are tens of thousands of corporate senior managers who would do this for millions. Capitalism rewards psychopathy and sociopathy with wealth; legality is irrelevant, as long as it’s most profitable.

or their “super privacy friendly” services aren’t as privacy friendly as they claim.

I would bet real currency it’s this one.

Conservative estimates put U.S. direct subsidies to the fossil fuel industry at roughly $20 billion per year. European Union subsidies are estimated to total 55 billion euros annually.

Alternative Headline: “The US spent at least 400 billion to maintain its fossil fuel car and energy industries this century.”

If the western political classes hadn’t corruptly subsidized the fossil fuel oligarchy with trillions of dollars since WW2, the west would be leading the world in clean energy tech. Instead, exactly as expected, the same politicians and oligarchs who made fossil fueled warming an existential threat to life on Earth are continuing to hamstring the clean energy transition and deflect blame, by screaming “China bad”.

The corporate oligarchy would prefer to sow the seeds of fascism, nationalism, and xenophobia than allow legitimate democracy, make fewer profits, or give workers a fair share. They proved that when they outsourced as much as possible to China, and other authoritarian states.

Try the user agent switcher add-on. The volume of times I’ve changed my agent to chrome and had a site work perfectly is infuriating.

I have zero doubt that many core proponents of anti-privacy laws are pedophiles — that’s why they always add measures to ensure it’s illegal to invade their own privacy.
