"Mass surveillance had never stopped a single terrorist attack in more than 10 years of operation, in the United States." They even view your porn habits... This was from 2016, think how advanced things are now within the 10 years after this.

That's really, really stupid... Sure, you can hate WikiLeaks for it, but to say "fuck off" to the truth that was leaked anyway is just stupid. It doesn't change anything about the published data itself—those are completely different issues.

"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.

No, what I'm saying is that you let yourself be controlled like a puppet when it comes to sources and information. Iraq, Afghanistan, "Collateral Murder," the Guantanamo manuals, diplomatic cables—and you just brush them all off because of something completely different.

And you wanna Talk about brainrot? So stupid It seems you're the kind of person who would burn books, too.

You're basically telling that kind of content to "fuck off" https://youtu.be/zYTxuW2vmzk Omg
