And the creepiness ensues<\/a>.\u00a0 Naturally, the whole point of the article is \u2018look out, too many [not me] people in the world!\u2019\u00a0 Obvious uneducated women are to blame.\u00a0 Religion, for resisting the notion of population control, is also given its fair share.\u00a0 A few strange notions, such as the educational lacking of American women and what appears to be a kudos to China for its, ahem, approach to educating women for better population control, find their way into the piece. <\/p>\n

But the really creepy stuff is, as usual, found to be in the comments section.\u00a0 From \u2018darn right religion is evil\u2019, to \u2018we can always hope for some famines and plagues\u2019, the contempt for human life and unacceptable beliefs at the dawn of the 21st century takes all that existed at the dawn of the 20th century, and multiplies it.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because at the dawn of the 20th century, Europeans had developed the classic \u2018too many of you, just enough of me\u2019 philosophy of population control, and applied it to their own nations or civilization.\u00a0 That is, Europeans in general were just fine, they just didn\u2019t want so many darkies, or poor, or Jews, or whatever.\u00a0 Today, that same contempt is there, but in keeping with the rabid individualism and focus on the eternal Me, it becomes \u2018all humans are a pox upon the earth who need to go\u2026except for me and the cool, hip folks I personally say are worth hanging around.\u2019 <\/p>\n

I can\u2019t imagine what the next cataclysmic genocide to hit humanity will look like, but I have a pretty darn good idea of what it will be founded on.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
