Nobody has ever suggested that Asshurt was a part of the daily stormer, she wasn't.

>The usage of weev's the trial is also pretty absurd and manipulative, given that his trial wasn't really related to the daily stormer, but about hacking, so much so that the EFF[0] defended him.

Pretty sure most smart people have already distanced themselves from the EFF at this point, so that's not very convincing.

EFF, despite getting repeatedly called out by several top experts, spent years pushing downright dangerous disinformation via their "secure messaging scorecard". Not exactly a trustworthy organisation.

It was also a bizarre choice to defend weev, both from a legal and moral point of view. tptacek explained it well at the time https://hackertimes.com/item?id=5978686

Then why link the slurs at all to accompany the argument?

On that same page you linked there are about as many people in favor as against, tptacek's word is not the law regardless of his competency, and it sure wasn't as uncontroversial as you make it out to be.
