I personally do, he actually risked his life to release information about the government spying on people. And there are for sure more advanced ways now. Even your phone is listening.

I should. There’s just something about him. It’s like he loves to hear himself talk. I just can’t get past that.
It’s like Julian Assange. I know there were serious accusations against Assange (that may have been fabricated) but even before those there was something that kept me from believing he was truly righteous.
Chelsea Manning though is a hero, imo.
We’re all humans, though. What irritates one in another may be a quality that irritates us about ourselves, that we don’t see.
100%
He had a ton to say. That is why he was so talkative. What was crazy is, during an interview, a fire alarm went off where he was and everybody was freaked out. It was supposedly maintenance. They had to unplug everything, even the simple hotel room phone, that could have been bugged.
To me, it was like he felt the world should be listening to him all along. He just happened to find something the world had an interest in hearing.
I know It might be unfair on my part. It just never sat right with me.
I agree with you on Assange, he became too involved in publishing scoops and bringing in large headlines that he got his head too far up his own arse.
I always wondered about why he stayed in the embassy and wasn’t smuggled out from it in a diplomatic car and flown to Ecuador.
It wouldn’t be the first time someone was smuggled out from a country using an embassy.
Iirc, the embassy was surrounded and watched by agents to arrest Assange, should be step out.
I mean, take him to the garage, put him in the boot of a diplomatic car, drive to the airport
I can tell you closely followed this story and thought of things trained professionals didn’t.
