1. This quote is from an SNL skit. Yes...SNL...that show that used to be funny.
2. Assange was also charged with molestation and is on bail awaiting trial...not exactly "man of the year" himself.
3. YOU PUT YOUR INFORMATION ON FACEBOOK WILLINGLY!
4. Assange has a million-dollar book deal with a large publishing company...not so anti-capitalist himself.
Stop acting like Zuckerburg is personally rifling through your stuff while Assange is giving you a back massage and whispering sweet nothings in your ear. Neither have anything to do with you. You choose to use facebook.
It's a briefly funny and has an immediate "ZING!" moment...but, as a nation who over-relies on the internet for information, we need to stop trying to generalize our political beliefs into once sentence zingers and actually try to understand the things that are important to us. If you really support Assange, don't like this meme, go donate some money to his defense fund or to wiki-leaks. if you don't like Zuckerburg, stop using facebook to "like" anti-facebook memes.
And stop seeing a meme as an actual source of information or knowledge. Go read something longer than a sentence or stop acting like you're impassioned about the issues you "like."
