I don't see it. Definitely not Assange anyway, not that he's a great person or anything, but he'd probably have said something by now. He spent a decade and a half in confinement, he would have said something. He had basically nothing to lose.

I think he started it for completely standard lib reasons, and then quickly discovered that there was may more shit to leak from what he previously saw as the Good Guys.

Maybe I'm missing something, but what made you say qualify your statement of him not being a great person?

I mean, there were some (possibly political and false) rape allegations in Sweden that were quickly dropped then brought up again...

That, and he seems to be a libertarian, if you ctrl + f "libertarian" into wikipedia

In 2010, Assange said he was a libertarian and that "WikiLeaks is designed to make capitalism more free and ethical" and to expose injustice, not to be neutral.[34][556]

The rape allegations are already known to be not only false, but completely fabricated by the Swedish government, not even the ostensible "victims" (who didn't consider it rape, didn't attempt to charge Assange with rape, and had simply gone to police to try to get him to do another STD check)

It really shows how farcical it all was- and how much "Swedish neutrality" and all that was a sham, even long before it likely aided in bombing Nordstream, or it joined NATO. It's literally the "I consent," "I consent," "I don't" meme.

My apologies... I did not look further into this than I should've...

No problem, there's nothing to apologize for.

It was meant to say that he might not be, not that he isn't. I just woke up and worded it poorly
