There are SO MANY other ways to effectively fight the the fucking right than screaming into the social media void and making yourself feel as awful as these dickheads actually are. They want to exhaust you here so you feel helpless everywhere else. Fuck them. Conserve your joy, online and off.

Julian Assange is an absolute arsehole who ran away from his accusers and refused to accept the consequences of his actions. He ran away from the accusations of the two women who accused him of sexual misconduct and like the coward that he is he hid behind obfuscation. Swedish deportation? LOL.
