Eff the US, not eff americans. Fine difference.Oh so that's why you're bashing Americans and telling us to go fuck ourselves, makes sense to me. How very kind.
And one I insist on you noticing, while slandering me in a public place.
If you need more information on why "eff the US" you can watch the Chomsky videos of Democracy now - released today: https://www.youtube.com/user/democracynow/videos
There is no hidden meaning to it - simply go by what Chomsky teaches you about different foreign policy agendas of the US over time - then look at the double standards they apply, and you understand the sentiment.
Also whats that's supposed to mean? There is no hidden reveal on a motive to speak bad about the US anywhere in the thread. In fact I slander russia instead.
What I can't take is stupidity though. And the byline, that when we talk about Assange, we should talk about Trump and Hillary emails. You realize, that he already was stuck at an embassy - when that happened? Because the US already had an international warrant out for his person at that time? The same one under which grounds he is now being held for more than 24 hours?
I mean, if people would like to pin the most celebrity filled stories onto his legacy - and talk only about those, at least get the timeline straight. Of when certain things happened.
"He did release the Clinton emails though" (probably hacked by russians), yes - and this isnt why the US has a warrant out for his name.
Thats because the "allegedly helped Manning "hack" himself into a system that Manning already had access to" (only lawyers know how such a thing is possible), we know about this also only because of a misshap, because the US wanted to keep the fact hidden, that he was hiding at an embassy because of a reason - and kept it under wraps for actually a few years. (Afair)
edit: It was slightly different, read up on it on his wiki bio (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Assange). The fact, that the US were preparing charges was officially revealed in 2017, when he already had been in the embassy for five years.
Before that they tried to make everyone think, that he was hiding from swedish law, because of potential investigations of him being a sex offender. That was fun. When you had to tell people, that thats not why a country like Ecuador would grant a person political asylum. But people always find it strangely hard to get the facts straight, when there is PR spin involved. Although in this case, it isnt even that hard.
Just dont buy lines, that he was arrested because he played soccer in embassy corridors, and that he stole the US election. And you are good. Doesnt seem that high effort. Of course if you are triggered, by the notion that someone might not like the political behavior of the US - some of the time, its that much harder for you...
Oh, do I hear 'merica the beautiful playing in the background? Makes me want to bomb another middle eastern country, just because I feel so patriotic. Maybe shoot a Reuters reporter, and then hide this fact from the world and his family.
