CBS political reporter Kathryn Watson (@kathrynw5) took to ‘X’ to wonder whether it would be a “bad” thing if humans became extinct. She tweeted posted:

Why do people work so hard just to continue the human race in apocalypse movies when the world is falling apart? Is it really all that bad if we as a species cease to exist?

Alright, Kathryn, why don’t you put your money where your mouth is?

Lead by example and go extinct first. The rest of us will join you. Promise.

If directly queried, leftists/progressives typically claim not to hate humans, per se. “Gosh, no! Perish the thought. That’s silly. What would make you say that?” they ask.

Well, let’s see: your love of unfettered abortion and medically assisted dying, perhaps? Or maybe the fact that you are strongly supportive of transgender procedures that render the patient permanently sterile, wish to shut down the farms that feed people, and think the best thing for the planet — and weather — would be for there to be far fewer humans. Or, apparently, none.

Ms. Watson is not alone in her beliefs. Some in academia also favor the demise of homo sapiens.

This person should lead by example. We’d all be better off.

Yes...I remember both those songs

[Maudeen]

I think she needs to take that up with God . . . her creator Who is in charge of her next breath.

[Rumplemeyer]

You first sweetie

[maddog55]

I recommend she commit suicide then get back with us.

I was a maintenance supervisor at a fleabag 2 bit hotel in downtown Seattle when I first moved here to the Soviet of Washington in 1979. The “manager” used to brag about going home to read Nietzche on Friday evenings. He was the most inept, stupid and unlikeable person I ever had the misfortune to work around. A metrosexual type before that term was coined.

Dear Kathryn Watson

Human existence is a matter of choice. You can choose to cease to exist at any time.

But that the dirty secret now isn’t it? You want to exist, what you want is all those “undesirables” to cease to exist

Why don’t you lead the way Kathryn? I’ll be happy to hand you a revolver with three rounds loaded and you can play a little Russian Roulette, ala, “The Deer Hunter”. Spin the cylinder carefully.

Most civilizations usually only last 300 years anyway don’t push it.

Some in academia also favor the demise of homo sapiens.

Spin this as follows: Some in academia also favor the demise of homos.

Spread the rumor and let the savages destroy each other, Misleading? Out of context? Yeah, but turnabout is fair play.

[AFreeBird]

Lead by example you twit

[ro_dreaming]

She can start with herself.

[SunkenCiv]

Kathryn Watson seems like a good place to start.

Here’s my list of the top 10 people who should extinct themselves and in order of priority:

1. Vladimir Putin
2. Joe Biden
3. Barack Obama
4. Nancy Pelosi
5. Hillary Clinton
6. Bill Clinton
7. Chuck Schumer
8. Ismail Haniyeh (top of the Hamas Totem Pole; lives in exile)
9. Mitch McConnell
10. Rebecca S. Pringle (President of the NEA)

Pringle heads an organization of marxist (i.e. communist) teachers that, as the largest labor union in the US, have done more damage to America than China is likely to ever do.

Left unchecked, there will be no “Public Education” in the US in the not too distant future.

This is a picture from what appears to be her webpage:

and a description:

A pastor's daughter raised in the backwoods of New York City (that is to say, Staten Island), Kathryn has always been obsessed with the question of how to be good. Now she makes her living asking for, and writing about, the answer. This means examining the practice of faith, the culture of work, and the human spirit in the digital age.

Kathryn’s writing aims to blend a working-class perspective with moral sensibility. Her favorite subjects are the concerns of ordinary people. She is working on a collection of essays that explores what community looks like in the contexts of work, faith, and neighborhoods. You can find published examples and more about this project here.

If that's her, her Dad must've sucked as a pastor. And maybe she'd cheer up if she ost some weight.
