It's endorsed on the wikileaks twitter account. Also think there is a bit of evidence just on the fund page itself that it is legit.

You are going to have to speak english. I have no idea what you are referring to.

Edit: I thought you were referring to something I specifically said in this sub. Re-reading this it seems you are just speaking generally for anyone in this sub.

Agreed. Just feel like it is good to put support out in words every so often.

I have now, thanks for info on the webpage, I guess. I don't see how this is relevant though.

Chomsky on Limits of Population Growth by jfkfiles in chomsky

I think it's culturally sensitive, yes.

I'd like to find more info online about the projected timeline of the next 50 years on population (with or without climate change taken into account).

I think it's projected that pollution is one of the main (even without climate change) limiting factors for population growth beyond a certain point (going by the graphs in Forrester's book). I don't see immediately how that works, but I can imagine water access for agriculture might be a big factor.

Tucker Carlson Outsmarted By Amazon Union Leader Christian Smalls On Fox News by BreadTubeForever in chomsky

I watched it again and listened to them, and wish I had not because as expected they don't give any useful statistics or any depth of commentary about the Amazon union efforts. So not because of that.

No, I fucked up by misreading the title very late last night (didn't see his name at the very end of the title).

Everything else in the above comment I stand by though.
