Voluntary Human Extinction Movement
Wikipedia ^ | Unknown

Posted on 08/04/2013 11:09:32 AM PDT by Awgie

The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (VHEMT[A]) is an environmental movement that calls for all people to abstain from reproduction to cause the gradual voluntary extinction of humankind.

VHEMT supports human extinction primarily because, in the group's view, it would prevent environmental degradation. The group states that a decrease in the human population would prevent a significant amount of man-made human suffering.

The extinctions of non-human species and the scarcity of resources required by humans are frequently cited by the group as evidence of the harm caused by human overpopulation.

I greatly admire the couples who chose to have large families and home school them.

They are blessing our world with suitable replacements who are highly educated, mature, productive and spiritually grounded.

the problem is, the people who volunteer to extinguish themselves may not be the ones who cause our problems.

Humans are not interchangeable parts, as Communism asserts.

Still, the fools who believe this tripe should not be missed.

Since “Volutary Human Extinction” is a Leftist-Environmentalists idea...It is only right that they show us the way.

I once suggested a tractor trailer tankload loaded with Depo-Provera be crashed into the municipal water supply of these metropolitan areas.

I was attacked... so get ready for what you are inviting.

What I am interested in is how much of the white birthrate suppression that is being reported is intentional in that people do not want to be simply giving birth to wage slave taxpayers to cover all the entitlement programs going to non-whites.

Because some "leftists" believe in this, therefore all people left of you are inane, destructive, and self-hating.

One of the things humans are capable of that no other living being seems to be is logic. We should use it whenever possible.

These folks have been around for a while.

Even more interesting was a group that recruited scientists to implement full extermination of the human species by means of a nanovirus. The reward would be survival for themselves and a kadre of selects. The recruitment ran for rougly a year, after they announced they had what they needeed - and disappeared. I figure it was some social experiment.

Flypaper/bug-zapper for sadistic freaks, I suppose.

Seems a lot like cutting off one's nose to spite one's face....

The Albigensian (Cathar) heretics of 13th century Occitania and Languedoc (NW Italy, southern France and the present day Catalan province of Spain) believed in the heretical doctrine that the human body and all material things are evil, and that one must escape from the body in order to be holy.

They taught that the principal sin was procreation, since it entrapped more good souls in evil bodies; on the other hand, they hailed as the highest virtue, voluntary death by the refusal of food and drink.

They hoped for the entire extinction of the human race. What a horrible group.

They were pretty much defeated by the Cathar Crusade of the 13th century, which was, on the other hand, a horrible thing in itself.

A UT at Austin professor, Pianky (sp?) teaches his students that ebola is his choice in elimiating 90% of the human race. Strange, I have yet to see him step to the front of the line.
