I know you shouldn't throw people in jail even in part because of bad opinions... but Jesus Christ, listen to him talk about Putin, Russia and NATO, and try to be the impartial hand of justice.

Kim Dotcom is not a fan of the West? Who could've expected that...

I’m not a fan of the west and I can still hate Putin and the CCP.

Kim just peddles propaganda now.

It certainly doesn't excuse it, but it's hardly surprising. I'm not sure how principled I could be if I'd been through the same ordeal. But hey, two wrongs don't make a right.
