Sounds to me like he wants punishment with or without trials. Socialists have little problem going from arrest to execution. Evidence, trial, conviction....they are all such a drag.
I don’t know if he wants humans extinct, but for sure he wants them to choose not to love God. So of course a culture where it is easy to choose not to love God would be cool with him I suppose.

I don’t recall if it was CS Lewis, but the idea was that Satan always objected to the creation of humans and wanted to ruin them from the beginning and exterminate them if possible.
Maybe philosopher/sister Betty Boop knows.
Not only is it soul killing crap, it’s just bad TV/entertainment too. I wonder how dumb we have really become. The mass social media phenomenon hasn’t helped, glad that dog squeeze passed me by. It’s messed a lot of folks up.

Right, but the trade off would be no one else being able to reject God. Then again also no one would be saved either, so maybe there’s something to it.

No one cares about a nationalist Swede or nationalist Nepalese. They don’t bother anyone outside of their country and hardly bother the day to day lives of those within.
Socialists seek to spread government into every aspect of our lives, to the point they are saying that if you look at someone with a beard in the women’s room funny, the government authorities can be involved. (Already saw it in companies adopting these policies.) You can’t even poop in peace.
Belated reply: Yes, it is bad entertainment even by secular, non-conservative standards. It just isn’t funny. It’s sophomoric.
The story, or legend, or myth of Satan's hatred of God's creation, especially mankind, goes back millennia. The idea of the Fall of the angels who chose to follow Lucifer -- their rebellion against God -- predates Christianity, but was well known in the earliest Christian times, even during the time Jesus walked the earth. Christians sometimes hold to the theory that Lucifer -- Satan -- was angry at God for creating man as a non-angel. Adam was an entirely new order of creation, and Lucifer was insanely jealous of the special relationship with God that God intended for him.
C.S. Lewis definitely gets the idea of the satanic war against both Jesus Incarnate (Screwtape always refers to Him as "the enemy") and mankind in The Screwtape Letters. Mainly such notions are neither doctrine nor supported by scripture -- except possibly at Genesis 6:1-4, which refers to "Sons of God" making hay on earth. The apocryphal Book Of Enoch suggests that these "Sons of God" were the fallen angels....
Obama is a "son of God" of this type, IMHO. He detests God, because God gave the order to the world, thus creating a firm, undisplaceable Reality. Obama hates reality. He'd rather construct an alternative reality, according to his will; and to make it mandatory for the rest of us.
To fall for Obama's blandishments is to "ruin" one's soul. This is the true destruction of man.
Just some thoughts, dear brother in Christ, FWTW.
