He will be forgotten in ten years.
And for a good reason.
- patrickaljord 7y agoWhat good reason?
- rimliu 7y agoManipulation and being Russian tool?
- peltier 7y agoJesus fucking christ.
- rimliu 7y agoThat's a strong argument.
- peltier 7y agoAgainst what exactly? 0 evidence and what i suspect is from the same source that said tulsi gubbard was a Russian asset? The unverifiable bullshit that Americans eat like its kosher. Jesus fucking christ is all i got to that ridicilous propganda. If you need to think of him as a Russian operative for you to live with the treatment hes getting, so be it. Im done.
- mmjaa 7y agoAmericans don't need to think of him as a Russian agent because of the treatment he is experiencing - they need to consider him a Russian agent because that allows them to continue to ignore the crimes against humanity and war crimes that their country has been committing, in their name, for decades - and which Julian worked, tirelessly, to expose to the world to see: embarrassing Americans who were previously convinced of their nations exceptionalism. Americans need to be distracted by the "ma' Russians!" narrative in order to be kept entirely ignorant of the 500,000 innocent people they have killed in their quest for glory in the Middle East. THAT is why "ma' Russians!" is being propagated as a narrative - because if anyone thinks the Americans shouldn't be getting away with murder, they sure as hell won't have the moral authority required to do something about it, if they are Russians, or Russian tools... America is in the grips of another McCarthy era. There is NEVER any evidence given that "ma' Russians", yet the trills call out every time an American evil is placed on the table.
- rimliu 7y agoRussian tool is not the same as a Russian operative. All you need to publish stuff that makes US look bad and withhold the information that makes Russia bad. And maybe manipulate some stuff to make it more dramatic.
- enriquto 7y agoaccording to this argument, anyone whose main activiy consists in criticizing the US, is a Russian tool. Alright, then.
- BLKNSLVR 7y agoDo you believe Snowden a Russian tool also?
- rimliu 7y agoNo, nothing like this.
- bufferoverflow 7y agoHe absolutely will not be forgotten. He is a hero. Even now he has a wikipedia article, multiple movies about him, tons of support from the people supporting the freedom of information and those who are sick of the secretive bullshit going on behind the curtains.
- rimliu 7y agoone man's hero is another man's villain.
- enriquto 7y agoAnd in either case, when they are relevant enough, they are not forgotten.
- rimliu 7y agoBut do you honestly believe he will be relevant enough in 10 years? No doubt some will remember him, but I say way more people will know Snowden than Assange in ten years.
- enriquto 7y agoHe was well known 10 years ago and he is well known today. By extrapolation, it is natural to assume that he'll be also in 10 years.
- ndury 7y agoThe founder of wiki leaks forgotten in ten years? With all due respect but the chances of that happening are quite slim.. Julian Assange will end up in multiple history books whether you like it or not.
- rimliu 7y agoWell, history books are full of shitty humans, so maybe you are right.
