now the US wants him dead.
That's how imperialism works. Today is a sad day for all freedom and peace lovers.
- rich_sasha 5y agoI think Democracy has always been a rather thin shell sitting in a very ugly world. I'm not saying any of this is right (nor even taking sides on Assange and WikiLeaks), rather that expecting democracry, peace and due process to be pervasive in the world today is sadly unrealistic. It's always been the case. Cf. France, the very birthplace of citizen republic, founded on ideals of equality, fraternity and liberty... then what they did in Algeria. Post-WWII and Holocaust too, so no excuses. I'm not picking on France btw. most countries have chapters like this, I just mean, somehow, this kind of activity always goes on in the background, for any democracy I can think of.
