i wrote a poem:
hey i wonder who leaked all the documents about cia wiretapping to wikileaks
what remarkable timing
i hope these people die in prison
haha yeah how inconvenient that there are all these facts that prevent us from just locking on to a single narrative
yep that's obviously exactly what i mean
ninja edit: ugh FINE i'll add some substance to my sarcasm
things i have no trouble admitting: i genuinely hate donald trump. hate is the only word for it. i don't mean it as a platitude when i say that i hope he dies in prison. so i'm not trying to pretend that my viewpoint is 'objective' in any sense of the word. i want him to fail. except to the extent that his failure hurts other people. i don't want him to start a disastrous war or anything like that. but if he could get caught in some kind financial treason (that's a thing, right?), then that would be great.
and, it's absolutely true that i am willing to believe that trump is, for example, ultimately responsible for the cia leaks without any direct evidence (although i'm not suggesting that a court of law should do the same). i don't expect others to see it my way, and i'm sure that my opinion on this is influenced by my prior opinion that donald trump is a worthless piece of shit who has actively and knowingly undermined our democracy.
things that may appear true but really aren't: i don't hate conservative politics, and i don't hate conservative politicians. i don't hate trump because he supports policies i disagree with. lots of liberals and conservatives alike support policies i disagree with. my worldview has no trouble accomodating the success of conservative politics.
my worldview also has no trouble accommodating that the cia has an arsenal of electronic surveillance tools at its disposal. i already figured they did. if wikileaks reveals that the cia is doing anything illegal, then i'm all ears; but, this is, to my understanding, just a list of capabilities and tools. my worldview only disdains a sitting president orchestrating the leaking of intelligence information to create public support for his made-up bullshit ramblings about obama. which, again, i fully agree that i can't directly support.
