it's frightening to hear otherwise intelligent people regurgitating that wholesale. Think for yourselves!
Yes, it is indeed worrying to detect just how uncritical anything that Assange has said has been accepted by his fans/followers as the gospel truth. Clearly, critical independence of thinking has given way to groupthink where even the rather large gaping holes in the Assange story are glossed over in what emerged to be an early version of the "fake news" tactic that Trump now deploys.
Kindly refrain from projecting your failures onto others, thanks.
