UK Professor: Only Way to Save Planet Is to ‘Let Humans Become Extinct’
Breitbart.com ^ | 2/17/2020 | Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D.

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.

I like the freedom his proposal grants, but I just have to ask, who is he trying to save the planet FOR, and why are they a higher priority than humans?

My thoughts too...and what use is there in “saving” it if there is no one to save it for?

“Reminds me of folks including some here who say only way to end racism is breed out whites into brown”

That’s a Dennis Prager position btw. In addition to recommending a massive increase in legal immigration. Which is one reason that the late Larry Auster referred to Dennis as “a confused liberal”, because Dennis still holds onto some of the crackpot ideas he believed in as a 1960s NYC liberal Democrat.

This guy and everyone he is in contact with, need to be on a terrorist
watch list.

It will be the reader of one of his books who goes postal.

Eh, what could have influence him to do that?

Yeah, I wonder. /s

Your response was very funny. But I was hoping she lived near a bridge so she could jump off it and reduce the population.
