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?

Wikileaks is accused of not releasing information that would be harmful to the reputation of Russia.
OK? and that magically makes his other leaks invalid?
I don’t think people are saying the leaks he released are invalid. What they are saying is that him being selective with what he releases is the problem. If it doesn’t align with his political views for example.
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.
It’s weird how some of you on this comment thread are so hostile. I’m literally just answering OP’s question about why people are hating on Assange. I’m not defending or attacking him myself. Try shaking your own head and read the comments properly first before replying.
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.
OP did something dishonest by making the title and body TOTALLY different.
The title is why are people hating on him. Lots of good answers to that.
The body then switches it to wanting him dead. I don’t think very many people want him dead. I think even the CIA/US Government want him alive and in jail rather than dead.
I’m not calling for his death, what are you talking about? Only OP implied that and they don’t even say who exactly is calling for it. I literally just replied to your comment saying:
So yes, that is absolutely what I’m referencing, that people don’t have a problem with the leaks themselves, rather it’s him holding back other leaks that benefit him or do not align with his views that is the problem.
You are replying to people on this comment thread as if we are all OP. How about YOU think why you’re all hotheaded with people simply trying to answer OP’s question.
Don’t shoot the messenger.
I’m literally only asking for clarification.
Everyone is acting like a bias is totally enough to justify asking for the death of someone…
I don’t think it makes leaks invalid.
Who called for his death?
Imagine that I’m the star witness in a trial between my dad and my brother. During the case i share everything i have on my brother, including diaries from me youth, recipets and pictures of every activity we have dine together, and relevant correspondence, but refuse to share any information involving my dad, I’m cleary not a trustworthy source and my testimony will likely be thrown out.
