6. Half of DU needs to confess they were played like fucking fiddles

By (including but not limited to): Assange, Greenwald, Snowden, Trump, and legions of useful idiot leftbro pundits and bloggers because NEOLIBERALISM! SECRECY! and GLOBALIZATION! or something... And I took a higher-than-expected level of shit from DUers for daring to point out that Assange clearly had ulterior motives to kill some trade deal that wouldn't even effect him personally, that killing a trade deal on "human rights" issues seemed counter-intuitive since it would just strengthen the positions of Russia and China, AND that the other countries involved were just going to move on without us... Assange especially has to be laughing his goddamn ass off -- TWO colossal con jobs in 2016 which have literally changed the course of history for the worse, and even with no credibility remaining (and despite being an unabashed hero of the far right these days) all he has to do is play his tune and the left dances at his altar of "transparency"
