People saying Michael Moore shouldn’t have bailed out Assange are saying that anyone accused of rape should be tortured

Assange had no charges against him by any institution, but was still imprisoned in solitary confinement (an established form of torture).  If you object to Moore bailing Assange out, you object to someone spending money to end the torture of someone who hasn’t even been charged with a crime. (jonathan-cunningham)

Anti-Assange Sentiments = Pro-Torture Sentiments

Assange Sentiments = Pro-Creeper Rape Status Quo Sentiments

∴

Anti-Torture Sentiments = Anti-Creeper Rape Status Quo Sentiments

QED/GTFO/NB4R

Not really doing the patriarchy any favors here, Jonathan Cunningham, with your moral equivalencies. I want to be pro-rape and pro-torture. Jeez.

    That solution is unacceptable, but still far superior to convicting people of rape based on a single accusation.
