(44,228 posts)when Assange has fled their jurisdiction, fought extradition through the British courts, and then finally holed up in the Ecaudoran Embassy to avoid being arrested?
Oh, and "Sweden should just guarantee he won't be extradited to the US" is not an answer. That's providing special treatment to Assange, something that any other alleged rapist running away from the European Arrest Warrant wouldn't get. And interviewing him at the Embassy won't work either, because the interview is really more of a prelude to arrest than a fact-finding mission.
I eagerly await the convoluted logic you'll have to employ to tell us how your "New York minute" scenario is going to work.
Second point
I don't share your concern about whether the important issues are being trivialized by posts made at our little corner of the internet.
Third point
I'm reccing this post because I share an opinion with the OP, and because I think they've unfairly taken a shit-kicking from you and your buddies. If you want to view that rec as a "caucus" rec, I don't really give a shit.
Finally,
The paid poster accusations are fucking ridiculous, not because of the quality of the posts, but because they speculate on the motive of the poster, which is impossible to know. It's the absolute weakest type of reply, and says volumes more about the one making the accusation than the one it's directed at.
Oh, and your copycat thread in meta was about as far from "biting satire" as one could get.
