Any evidence Wikileaks withheld info about the right? They release info that’s leaked to them. If Russia used Wikileaks to further their own agenda, that’s not a Wikileaks problem (as long as the information is accurate).

Notice how you’re angry at the people who released the info instead of the people who were corrupt and deplorable? PsyOps mission accomplished!

My understanding is that, while it’s likely the source of those leaks was Russia, it’s never been proven wikileaks withheld info about Republicans. I’ve seen the claims dozens of times, but never the evidence, so please share if you do… Otherwise, it’s insane to hate a journalist for withholding information they don’t have, just because it hurts your preferred political party.

EDIT T+2hrs: 35% downvotes and zero replies or supporting evidence. FYI I asked the same thing on Reddit about a dozen times over the last decade, and the result was always the same — If your position is “I can find no evidence for my claims, and don’t know why I hate WikiLeaks or Assange. I just do.” then you’re probably a psychological warfare victim…

I had legitimate bans and completely ridiculous power tripping bans. I was always able to create a new account though. The trick is to mix and match different VPN’s/IP’s with different browsers/containers.

Isn’t it great that a man who exposed governmental corruption and war crimes faced a harsher persecution and punishment than the corrupt governments and war criminals themselves?

Democracy™️

Every time I’ve joined a large group chat, I’ve always wished there were hundreds more people talking over the top of each other to make the whole communication thing more efficient!

The last thing anyone would expect in the ocean

The party of Christian Feudalist law and order.

Rich kids turn out to be assholes!?!

There are tens of thousands of corporate senior managers who would do this for millions. Capitalism rewards psychopathy and sociopathy with wealth; legality is irrelevant, as long as it’s most profitable.

Conservative estimates put U.S. direct subsidies to the fossil fuel industry at roughly $20 billion per year. European Union subsidies are estimated to total 55 billion euros annually.

Alternative Headline: “The US spent at least 400 billion to maintain its fossil fuel car and energy industries this century.”

If the western political classes hadn’t corruptly subsidized the fossil fuel oligarchy with trillions of dollars since WW2, the west would be leading the world in clean energy tech. Instead, exactly as expected, the same politicians and oligarchs who made fossil fueled warming an existential threat to life on Earth are continuing to hamstring the clean energy transition and deflect blame, by screaming “China bad”.

The corporate oligarchy would prefer to sow the seeds of fascism, nationalism, and xenophobia than allow legitimate democracy, make fewer profits, or give workers a fair share. They proved that when they outsourced as much as possible to China, and other authoritarian states.

A Venn diagram of the psychologies sympathetic to tankism and fascism is a perfect circle — they’re all authoritarians.

It means that neither party who interacts with the file if known, as they must access the site via torr.

Very useful for journalists to receive information from whistleblowers, etc.

They are the living embodiment of fascism.

NEW fascism. Identical to the old fascism!

It’s in the past bro. It’s not like the government would let corporations get away with a chemical weapons attack on a civilian population nowadays.

The hilarious part is people believe the historic global human rights abusers of the US intelligence community are different today, despite zero evidence of any reforms since they were overthrowing democratically elected governments to benefit multinational corporations, murdering activists who stood up for non-whites and the working class, operating “black” torture sites, caught backdooring the worlds hardware and software information systems no different to the KGB or Gestapo, conducting biological and chemical weapons tests on its own citizens, etc etc etc.

Yep, I’m sure the historic sociopaths have learned their lesson… From all those times they suffered zero retribution, and benefited to the tune of trillions of dollars!!

The obvious solution to me is sponsorblock switching to sampling pixels out of each frame, like that project that encoded data into video streams (yet resilient to compression), there are algorithms that could fingerprint any ad with an extremely high degree of accuracy. It’d be more complex than the current implementation, but it’d also be more resilient. I’d settle for it hiding the video and suppressing the audio for the ads duration, possibly displaying a countdown timer, vs actually watching the ad. Then Youtube would get paid, but have no way of knowing you haven’t seen the ad, and the metrics around their ad effectiveness would ultimately suffer, so users still win.

You could even go so far as to have the client cache the video, several minutes in advance, dropping all the ad frames, so it’s a seamless experience for the user. I got money, but will spend 10x as much ensuring Google gets less from me. It ain’t about money. It’s about sending a message!

You mean that “migrant caravan” that’s appeared on Fox before every election the last 5-10 years; each time miraculously evaporating the day after the election, never to be heard from again… until just before the next election?

You mean the rich would prefer to implement fascism than be less wealthy. Who could’ve possibly seen this coming?

Rich people don’t want to pay taxes.

They need to decentralize because it was always only a matter of time before they pissed off the wrong capitalist sociopath or piss baby politician.
