Eh, the tune changed extremely quick the moment “Russiagate” hit. Just now they were making a movie about Assange and Snowden, suddenly he’s a “kremlin asset” and “useful idiot”. Liberals have never been honest about their supposed admiration for the whistleblowers.
@Farmer_Heck@muad_dibber you’re supposed to rat on the government but still stay somewhat adjacent to that government and just martyr yourself for it, not actually self-preserve
As soon as things may affect their hegemony, they go mask off so fast…
Seeing the president of Azerbaijan calling out the BBC on Assange and watching the “journalist” squirm was hilarious, with the BBC cutting out that part of the interview lol.
It’s disgusting to me how liberals will be like “whistle-blowers are heroes” then demand that Showden be brought in.
the concept of ratting on the government is admirable, but actually doing it is ratty.
