After reading this: https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v36/n05/andrew-o-hagan/ghost... (obviously Assange defenders will call this a biased hit piece), Assange lost my admiration, he seems to be yet another self-obsessed prick. But the way he's been treated and is being treated by the UK courts is also fucking undemocratic and inhumane.

But in my view, Assange is unprincipled enough that he'll say whatever Trump/the thugs running the West wants, so he can be freed. Or to paint it in a different light, they're torturing him so he'll say whatever they want him to say.
