Mind if I add a friendly modify on the "dismiss complaints of two women as CIA cointelbro"?

I would say, his many enemies were cynically using his misogynistic behaviour as a lever to attempt to extradite/imprison/torture etc. Doesn't mean he's not a scumbag but obviously we all know the fine folks in the intelligence industry are paragons of total amorality so … calling out a cynical play for liberal outrage against assange is fair imo.

You have to jump in to the sewer and swim to even talk about people like assange or the CIA. Most journalists are scum, made to look halfway human compared with the casually murdering, troglodyte, demons that work for the CIA. Perhaps this is why it's "off-putting"?
