There is nothing suspect about wikileaks, blueAnon just needs to learn to take responsibility for their actions

Nothing suspect besides them turning into Putin's laundromat. Oh, and then there was the not so subtle pushing of conspiracy theories exploiting Seth Rich's death. Real class act there.

nah, the real class act is the shit that we now know about what US does around the world and domestically thanks to wikileaks

I used to love Wikileaks. They did genuine good throughout the years. That reputation was forever sullied in 2016 when Assange showed that he could be the puppet for one dictatorial regime (Putin) to promote a proto-fascist (Trump). Then the lies that he used as a coverup! Hardly befitting the head of a "radical transparency" organization. It was all so grotesque and petty. Trump might have just disappeared after 2016 if he hadn't been elected, but instead the world has to deal with the consequences of the MAGAts for the foreseeable future. It felt like Assange betrayed the underlying cause of Wikileaks in favor of petty revenge on Democrats.
