Bizarre white nationalist/ sexist AF Tweet from Assange....

I've seen the same ideas come from interviews w happy Nazi families. Shame too many people couldn't see this coming from this crazed partisan nut job.

Is it Handmaidens Tale enough for you now? Racists are sexists and sexists are too often racists as well. Learn it.


For those who don't see Tweets, JA says:

"Capitalism+atheism+feminism = sterility = migration. EU birthrate = 1.6. Replacement = 2.1. Merkel, May, Macron, Gentiloni all childless."

WHY would anyone think it is important for us to achieve replacement numbers in our birth rates? Is the earth not polluted and crowded enough? Are we not doubling the population and using up resources fast enough for this moron?

Sexist, Nazi AND just plain stupid.

A declining population KILLS the funding models for those programs.

A stable population is sustainable. Uncontrolled growth is not.

The latest growth rate is 1.182% per year - https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.POP.GROW - which would be double in 59 years.

2016 world population was 7.442 billion; which is double was it was in 1971, so that was doubling in 45 years ( https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.POP.TOTL ) .

Tue Sep 5, 2017, 03:46 AM

59 years was just my projection of the current rate staying steady, which no-one actually expects. If you look at the actual projections, the highest reaches 14 billion around 2095: https://esa.un.org/unpd/wpp/Graphs/Probabilistic/POP/TOT/ . The median projection is about 11 billion by 2095. It's quite possible the population will never double.

https://www.census.gov/population/international/data/worldpop/table_population.php

The shortest it ever doubled in was 38 years - 1951 - 2,594,938,936 - to 1989 - 5,195,979,089.

Yeah, your source was inaccurate.

3. Went looking to see how many children Julian has and found this gem:
Mon Sep 4, 2017, 02:34 PM
Sep 2017
As for Assange’s physical tastes, it turns out he liked his dates to be both young and passive, Domscheit-Berg writes. “Julian’s main criterion for a woman was simple: She had to be young. Preferably younger than 22. And it went without saying that she couldn’t question him. ‘She has to be aware of her role as a woman,’ he used to say.’”


http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/11/julian-assange-children-kids-wikileaks_n_822136.html

And just as an aside, he apparently has fathered a number of illegitimate children with different women (according to him, so take it with a grain of salt, and let's all stop a moment and wonder whether the women were consenting) but he may or may not contribute to the raising of any of them.

He's walking talking excrement.

Otherwise they'd have overfilled him vodka, stuffed him into a diplomatic pouch, and thrown his sorry ass out of the van and into a ditch on the way to the airport, sometime past midnight.

Assange has been in the embassy long enough that he could have tunneled out into the sewers with a tablespoon by now if he really wanted to leave.

I've been telling y'all for a while now that Julian is making his "Weev"-like transformation to White nationalist... Dig deeper into his tweets and you'll see snipes at BLM, Jews, women and anyone who doesn't worship at the Trump-Putin altar...

With his job completed he no longer has to keep up appearances about being some kind of liberal hero, so the mask is totally off. It wasn't enough for Assange to play the left like a goddamn fiddle, now he spends all day trolling the fuck out of his true believers.
