Your conspiracy falls apart when you look at Chelsea Manning, she was sentenced to 35 years, got the government to pay for her transition, her sentence was commuted after 7 years, and she went on to cuckole Elon Musk.

First of all, whataboutism and ad hominem (specifically about 'privilege'), second, 7 years is a lot, if you can compare it to Jeffery Epstein's sentence deal of 1.5 years (18 months)...

Assange raped two women, used his propaganda outlet to push conspiracy theories and hid in the only embassy that would take him. Later he was kicked out of the Ecuadorian embassy for using it to collude with Russia to influence the US election.

Honestly, outside of politics, Assange should've prbly been held for trial for that, in Sweden, NOT in America. Also, when did he decide to push conspiracy theories (I never heard him support Qanon)? And well, I kinda think the Russia collusion here is more of a post-hoc justification for the U.S to get him so...

Critique me if you want...
