Note to those of you who have, plan to,
or might possibly have any sort of agenda about anything in your lives:
Raw, brutish racism/culturalism doesn't help your message. At all.
I read a line like this:
"Spamhaus acted, he wrote, 'without any court verdict, just by blackmail of suppliers and Jew lies.'"
And regardless of whether he's right or not about Spamhaus, his credibility in my eyes has gone straight to absolute zero.
- nonamegiven 14y agoIt's amazing to me that anyone speaking that point of view has any credibility at all. With anyone.

Wasn't that entirely the point of the article, to attack his character? If he was some lawyer stiff, people wouldn't be reading this - they enjoy reading content-light articles that spin caricatures of charismatic individuals. Assange all over again! It's hardly debatable whether he would have gotten media exposure like this if he didn't behave in such a manner; I think that overall this exposure will help his cause, not hurt it. Even if a majority discard STOPhaus claims immediately on the basis that their spokesman appears to be a nut, the minority dwarfs anything they would have reached otherwise. tl;dr you only saw this message because it was raw, brutish, and insensitive.
