Let’s talk about the West’s obsession with Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, while at the same time conveniently sweeping Julian Assange under the rug. The hypocrisy and double standards are absolutely mind-boggling.
Navalny, a thorn in Putin’s side, has been making headlines for years for his outspoken criticism of the Russian government. He’s been arrested, poisoned, and imprisoned multiple times, which has ignited an outpouring of support from Western leaders and media outlets. Suddenly at his death , they act like they’ve discovered a new hero, a savior who will liberate the Russian people from the grips of tyranny.
But let’s not forget about Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, who has been holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy and later imprisoned in the UK for the past decade. Assange, like Navalny, has also been a target of government persecution for his work in exposing corruption and war crimes. Yet, where are the impassioned cries for justice and freedom for him? Why is he treated like a forgotten relic of the past, left to rot in a prison cell?
The answer is simple: the devil you know is always better than the devil you don’t. The West loves to criticize and demonize other countries for their human rights abuses, but when it comes to their own dirty laundry, they quickly change the subject or conveniently forget to address it altogether.
The truth is, the West is not any better than Putin when it comes to silencing dissent and covering up their own wrongdoings. They are cut from the same cloth, perhaps even worse, as they hide behind a facade of democracy and freedom while persecuting those who challenge their power.
Navalny and Assange are two sides of the same coin, yet the West presents a holier-than-thou front as if they are the champions of justice and democracy. It’s nauseating to witness their selective outrage and feigned concern for human rights when their own backyard is in desperate need of cleaning.
Assange’s contribution to journalism and free speech is undeniable. WikiLeaks has exposed war crimes, corruption, and human rights abuses on a global scale, shedding light on the darkest corners of power. Yet, instead of being celebrated as a hero, he is treated as a criminal and a pariah. The message is clear: if you dare to challenge the status quo and reveal uncomfortable truths, you will be punished, no matter where you are in the world.
The West’s obsession with Navalny only highlights their double standards and hypocrisy. They champion his cause, spout rhetoric about freedom and democracy, and yet conveniently ignore the plight of Assange. It’s a glaring example of how convenient it is to support a cause that aligns with their own interests, while turning a blind eye to the inconvenient truths that may implicate them.
It’s time to call out the West for their blatant hypocrisy and demand justice for Julian Assange. We cannot allow them to continue to preach about human rights and freedom while they trample on the very values they claim to uphold. The treatment of Assange is a stain on the conscience of the West, and it’s time for them to be held accountable for their actions.
To wrap this up, the West’s concern for Navalny is nothing more than a facade to cover up their own misdeeds. A rouse to continue funding the Ukrainian war and perhaps to attack Russia. They are no better than Putin, and their treatment of Assange is proof of their double standards and hypocrisy. It’s time to shine a light on their convenient amnesia and demand justice for Assange. The devil you know is 100% better than the devil you don’t know case in point the West. We should never turn a blind eye to the injustices that happen right under our noses.
Meanwhile Alexei Navalny’s wife’s account on X just got suspended after she went on a rant about how Putin killed her husband, this coming from a platform supposed to uphold free speech. Let the games begin the shit fest continues….
They both exposed corruption and war crimes but yet somehow they present a holier than thou front as if they are any better than Putin
