Flashback/Vanity: UK Professor: Only Way to Save Planet Is to ‘Let Humans Become Extinct’
Breitbart (2/17/20) ^

Posted on 03/11/2020 10:04:43 PM PDT by TigerClaws

Giving birth to a child is “the worst thing you can do” to the climate, says philosophy professor Patricia MacCormack of Anglia Ruskin University.

The professor, author of The Ahuman Manifesto: Activism for the End of the Anthropocene who describes herself as an “old school goth,” says that the only way to save the planet is to stop having children and allow humans to become extinct.

According to the official description of the book, MacCormack “actively embraces issues like human extinction, vegan abolition, atheist occultism, death studies, a refusal of identity politics, deep ecology, and the apocalypse as an optimistic beginning.”

Due to global overpopulation, giving birth is the worst thing you can do to the planet, MacCormack sustains, while insisting that she is not advocating wiping out the existing population but rather letting it die off. “The manifesto simply asks that humans no longer reproduce – no life is lost, no being is mourned,” she states. “If we no longer reproduce, we can care for all inhabitants already here, human and non-human, as well as care for the Earth itself by mitigating the damage already caused. It’s an activism of care.”

MacCormack, who moonlights as a London DJ, said that her position can be “triggering” because it forces people to confront an idea that contradicts their fundamental view of the world.

According to MacCormack, her manifesto “questions the value of human exceptionalism, asking are humans really the ‘best’ forms of life, or should we dismantle our understanding of life as a hierarchy for a more ecological, interconnected scheme of living things?”

“There are people living in the apocalypse right now — especially non-human animals — who have born into an apocalypse. They live to suffer and then they’re murdered,” she said.

12 Monkeys are upon us. These folks have a series of videos about this. The 'save the planet in 8 years' crowd won't be lamenting the current pandemic.

They will lament that it’s not nearly as lethal as they want.

Well that’s stupid. Without US, what exactly would be the point of saving it?

Looks like this spell-caster wants to sacrifice the rest of humanity to Satan.

Give this chick a Bible. . . .it’s in there how it all goes down. The only climate change she needs to worry about is the choice she makes for the hereafter. Either Satan or Jesus...God is in control of everything.

These folks have videos and apparently they are serious.

Not sure if he’s one of them but ...

12 Monkey this:

Coronavirus: Man arrested after licking his fingers and wiping them on pole in train

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/belgium-subway-train-passenger-lick-fingers-pole-coronavirus-a9394876.html

Posit. Mankind is growing exponentially and is a threat to the planet.

War in the kart century killed off hundreds of millions and culled the herd.

Nuclear was is so horrible that large scale war isn’t a reliable killer.

Advances in medicine made other natural killers ineffective.

So. How about a new Supervirus that goes global in months and kills off millions.

Kill off the old because they are a burden and they are conservative politically. Leave the young and easy to manipulate.

Crash economies. End supply chains. Desperate people give up livery for security.

What world will we live in next year?

All this over bat stew? Or whatever the official explanation is.

Hey guys, she’s such a catch. The kind of girl you’d take home to mother! EEEESH!!!! Seriously if she believes human extinction is the only way to save the planet (from WHAT exactly?), then let her lead by example. After all, suicide IS the sincerest form of self criticism.

Certainly looks that way.

Bad enough Bolz-Weber is in the Lutheran Church.

not only is Biden being lauded for the following:

11 Mar: NYT: Joe Biden Will Host ‘Virtual Events’ as Coronavirus Fears Heat Up
By Katie Glueck
The announcement of his new advisory committee — with members including Vivek Murthy, a former Surgeon General of the United States, and ***Ezekiel J. Emanuel, a prominent oncologist and a vice provost at the University of Pennsylvania — also seemed designed to project calm and competence amid great national uncertainty.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/11/us/politics/biden-coronavirus-campaign-events.html

I haven’t seen any MSM mentioning the following, which makes Emanuel an odd choice for Biden, given concerns about his mental health, and an obscene choice, when Covid-19 seems more virulent with the older demographic:

Oct 2014: TheAtlantic: Why I Hope to Die at 75
An argument that society and families — and you — will be better off if nature takes its course swiftly and promptly
Story by Ezekiel J. Emanuel
I am talking about how long I want to live and the kind and amount of health care I will consent to after 75...
For many reasons, 75 is a pretty good age to aim to stop...
The situation becomes of even greater concern when we confront the most dreadful of all possibilities: living with dementia and other acquired mental disabilities...

What about simple stuff? Flu shots are out. Certainly if there were to be a flu pandemic, a younger person who has yet to live a complete life ought to get the vaccine or any antiviral drugs...

and if you think the FakeNewsMSM isn’t going to protect Biden, how’s this?

12 Mar: CNN: Trump announces new campaign event, postpones it one day later
By Kaitlan Collins
Sanders and Biden have faced similar scrutiny over decisions to hold large events as the number of coronavirus cases in the US has skyrocketed...
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/10/politics/donald-trump-campaign-rally-coronavirus/index.html

when did Biden EVER have a LARGE event?
