Sure he had some shady connections, but all accusations of actual wrongdoing supposedly comitted by Assange himself were brought forward, sourced and verified by the same US authorities, that employed or protected the criminals he exposed, which makes them basically worthless.

Opposing the Lukashenko regime is being a criminal?

I get tankies and right-wingers, they actually know what Assange is about.

But allegedly well meaning people thinking that he is some sort messiah or saviour, that’s what’s sad.

He is a genuine supporter of russian imperialism and he has no qualms with sending opposition activists to hellish prisons, all the while positioning himself as some sort of fighter against US imperialism.
