I agree, I'm surprised you're being downvoted for this opinion. Kangaroo courts happen and even when the person facing the verdict is high profile. It shows how power with the agenda of whomever is what crafts law. Logic is the thing rational people cling to and logic is not part of foundation making justice in prosecutions. The wild thing to me is how much hate assange has gathered recently online. People seem to prefer writing just throw him in jail than take the undecided stance. Makes me think things are getting worse if you're on the not happy side with how things are run.
- StanislavPetrov 8y agoIts being downvoted for the same reason that Assange is so hated. Unfortunately most Americans are incredibly susceptible to propaganda. Its why 90% of Americans continued to believe Saddam Hussein was involved in 9/11 even years after the invasion of Iraq. Even for those few Americans with the capacity to be skeptical and think critically, its much easier to accept "conventional wisdom" and adopt the official narrative than to consider the possibility that our government regularly disseminates lies and propaganda. Groupthink is not only real, it is perhaps the dominant driving force in society.
