KDC claimed in a Twitter audio room that he was one of the biggest funders of WikiLeaks and the whole copyright shit was not actually about copyright but US going after WikiLeaks.

I wouldn't believe a word he speaks or writes. Following his twitter thread the past 10 years is really sad. Not sure if it's some sort of mental illness or if he does it on purpose but he seems to have developed some sort of hate for the United States. It's clear that the way they raided him was not fair but the things he writes and the conspiracies he spreads are disgusting.

America has been at perpetual war for decades. Other counties are hated for much less than this.

I wouldn't believe him either, but this isn't mental illness. This is someone trying to beat a propaganda machine at its own game (the government doesn't sue for defamation).

Say enough random shit over time (pretexting) and some of it will resonate with the crazies and the ignorant.

The truth doesn't even matter these days; it's entirely about influencing public perception.

If the US government spent a decade destroying my life I'd also hate the United States, I'm not sure why that's surprising?

He bullshits constantly and expands his legend to well beyond what it actually is. It's entirely in character for the US to do this. They've demanded the extradition of children over LulzSec script kiddying before.
