I'm absolutely certain they also had information about the Epstein files as well, but that didn't come to light until almost a decade later and the public is still not fully aware of what happened today. so yeah. fuck wikileaks. they're just a front for Russian intelligence and was leveraged to destabilize world democracy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 7 child comments replies: [+] IceFoxX@lemmy.world 1 point 4 months ago (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 point 4 months ago "the truth" has no motives, only people and organizations do. what wikileaks did and does is leverage the truth to manipulate opinions and outcomes. what you're basically admitting to is that you're willing to be manipulated because the ends justify the means. if that's not the most fucked up perspective I've ever had the displeasure of wrapping my mind around, I don't know what could be worse. take your brainrot ideas somewhere else. permalink fedilink source parent [–] vanillama@programming.dev 0 points 4 months ago (5 children) Having to choose between two of the worst people ever isn't democratic to me. Clinton is a monster too, which is very obvious when you see people outside the US as human.
