The persecution of Assange is so blatantly, obviously wrong that the only thing stopping people from seeing it is empire propaganda. You don't have to be well-read. You don't even have to be smart. You just have to have to have eyes that are unfiltered by narrative manipulation.
Anyone with common sense and a beating heart in their chest can see this is wrong. Should journalists be tortured and imprisoned for life when they expose war crimes? The answer is not complicated. It's obvious to anyone who hasn't been propagandized out of their own clarity.
Assange's plight only looks complicated when you add on layers of narrative and verbiage. "Ah blibba blabba Sweden and Putin he didn't take care of his cat and something something Robert Mueller!" Without all the spin it's very obvious he's being torturously, unjustly persecuted.
It really is an "emperor has no clothes" thing. The court propagandists fill our ears with fancy words about what a bad man Assange is and why he must be dealt with, tell you the emperor's clothes are invisible. But sane people just yell "Hey! Why is the emperor ass-dick naked?"
