41 months (which clearly was the max) is not multiple decades. Not even close. Get back to me when you face a 20 to 40
>There is literally nothing you wrote I even almost believe. You demanded a federal judge apologize? Yea, sure. Fucking liar
"When offered the chance to speak, Weev, like Socrates, did not back down: “I don’t come here today to ask for forgiveness. I’m here to tell this court, if it has any foresight at all, that it should be thinking about what it can do to make amends to me for the harm and the violence that has been inflicted upon my life.”

“I didn’t come here today to ask for forgiveness,” Auernheimer told a courtroom packed with his supporters. “The Internet is bigger than any law can contain. Many, many governments that have attempted to restrict the freedoms of the Internet have ended up toppled.”

Unfortunately there’s no recording allowed in federal courts, my choicer words to the government were filtered by the decorum of pansy ass journalists.
But it’s funny that I am so courageous and bold that you can’t even imagine that anyone would ever be as great as me, it is a testament to the truth of my all-encompassing glory that it defies even the realm of possibility for your small-minded nature, that you don’t even think anyone would ever stand up in a federal court at sentencing and let a nigger judge know that there might be a pogrom coming for her kind soon.

Sterlingov just got sentenced to 30 years and didn’t get a million dollars. He appealed. He needs the money. People who pled don’t. It’s that simple. This is a basic bit of logistics. The people who appeal will create binding precedent — the outcome of their cases decides the laws that will be written for all of us. Only so many cases will get funded. Spending a months long social media campaign raising money to fight a case and then pleading out is fraud, and it is fucking us because Sterlingov, a completely unfunded case, is going to determine the interpretation of these laws.
