Death Worship

This man is the biggest hypocrite on the face of the Earth.

"We can't be breeding right now," says Les Knight. "It's obvious that the intentional creation of another [human being] by anyone anywhere can't be justified today."

Knight is the founder of the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement, an informal network of people dedicated to phasing out the human race in the interest of the health of the Earth. Knight, whose convictions led him to get a vasectomy in the 1970s, when he was 25, believes that the human race is inherently dangerous to the planet and inevitably creates an unsustainable situation.

"As long as there's one breeding couple," he says cheerfully, "we're in danger of being right back here again. Wherever humans live, not much else lives. It isn't that we're evil and want to kill everything -- it's just how we live."

Just as the men who send suicide bombers to their deaths are too important to sacrifice themselves for the cause, so too are Les Knight and his followers.

But one wonders just how willing their more zealous members would be to carry out their mission on others.

We should not be too quick to dismiss VHEMT as just another band of California crackpots. The violent rhetoric of groups such as Earth First and PETA has inspired their more unstable or psychopathic members to terrorism. And perhaps even more disturbingly, a less inflammatory version of that same rhetoric could inspire mainstream environmentalists who are already disposed to regarding mankind as a somewhat invasive species.

VHEMT is a hate group, just like the Ku Klux Klan or Nation of Islam; it only differs by hating not one race but all races.
