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.

If anyone needed confirmation of the insane, destructive self-hating nature of "Leftism" as illustrated through one of their key wedge issues, Environ "Mental" ism, then here it is.

The answer to all of our problems...self extinction. Now that's progressive!

It's satanic in origin.

The Devil sez: "Off yourself. Go and subtract. Kill the unborn. In the meantime be greedy, worship your genitals, drink, eat and be merry for tomorrow there is only dust and no soul."

VHEM = modern democrat party
VHEM light = rino republicans

Tea Party = the resistance to the VHEM

Resistance is NOT futile.

Sounds like those folks who committed mass suicide waiting to being picked up by aliens. Let them show the way, if they are determined.

Human Darwinism will kick in...

2013-era Humans go extinct, a million years pass, God does his thing by starting over, with the next humans hopefully not as dumb to interfere with Gods design. 20,000 years after that, 1,020,000-era Humans go about carrying out His plan, with VHEMT not even a faint memory.

It seems to me that this “Movement” will find some difficulty with leadership.

If conservatives start raising large conservative educated families, and the stupid liberal follow this path to feel good about themselves, we’ll have this mess of a world headed in the right direction in a generation or two.

The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement was founded by Les U. Knight, a secondary school substitute teacher who lives in Portland, Oregon.

Although he was raised in a large family, after becoming involved in the environmental movement as a college student in the 1970s, Knight attributed most of the dangers faced by the planet to human overpopulation.

After coming to this conclusion, he joined the Zero Population Growth organization and chose to be vasectomised at age 25. He later concluded that the extinction of humanity would be the best solution to the Earth's environmental problems. He believes that this idea has also been held by some people throughout human history.

Great idea! Let the Left refuse to procreate. It worked so well for the Shakers.

But let them also keep their murderous hands off our babies.

The true mental illness of Leftism briefly shows its face: leftists’ desire for control stems from mistrust of everyone else. People are inherently harmful for everything around them and hence must be controlled, or exterminated to the ones who have made the final leap. We are seeing the ultimate in paranoid masochism.

What these assholes will do, is encourage youth in Western Nations to cut back on reproduction, while welcoming tripple reproduction in third world countries.

There are some really F’d up Leftists out there folks. It’s up to us to expose them for who they are.

The only thing they’ll accomplish is the extinction of their movement.
