What do you make of this?

Just found this : http://www.antihumanism.com/
Don't know if it's been mentioned before, (sorry if it's old news), but what do you think of it?

[Lord Muck oGentry]

Stop screwing around and start thinking seriously about killing all those but our most valuable members of society. We don't need movie actresses, we don't need democratic politicians, we don't need people with IQs of under 120. We need smart, strong, capable people who can think outside the mental confinement called humanism.

Well, he may yet be cured by the love of a good woman...

Humanism is death disguised as life. When you are a humanist, you think only of humans. You see the world as existing only for human consumption. It is more important to save every life than to produce better beings, in your view.

What? The person who wrote all this seems to know nothing whatever of what Humanism is.

What is Humanism?
Humanism is the mental habit of looking at the world as if it existed only for human beings. If there's a forest, you consume it. If there is land, you use it. If there was other stuff on that land, it's Too Bad, because you've just gotta have that 4x4 truck, color television, and sprawling suburban home, if you're a wealthy first worlder. Or maybe you simply want another patch of land for subsistence farming and slash-n-burn agriculture, if you're a third worlder. Either way, you're not thinking of anything except yourself and other humans. It's like the whole rest of the world doesn't exist.

I don't know what is being described here but it surely is not Humanism. It strikes me as ignorant right wing drivel.

...unless it's a wind up?

[xman]

He's deluded about humanism and thinks he has a new idea to fix it. If he actually read the New Humanist Manifesto he'd realise that all his ideas are already incorporated.

It sounds like the work of 22 year old literature student who is basing their entire rationale on one conversation had whilst drunk/stoned at a noisy party. Lacks research, lacks credibility, lacks any impact. Philosophical masturbation for the college generation.

Brilliant summary!

Entangled mind! He surely needs a Psychiatrist.

Or maybe he should take his own advice, his IQ seems to be under 120....

Talk about straw man arguments and misrepresentation!

[SkiCarver]

next he'll be posting pictures of himself with numerous guns, then he will brass up some school or university killing a few students and teachers before topping himself.

is it a UK site? In all seriousness, if it's not a wind-up, its the sort of thing that should be reported to the Met or FBI.

I'm not sure where it's based, I found it from a link on Facebook searching for Humanist groups. There's a few Anti-Humanist ones on there!

[SkiCarver]

from the spelling, i have guessed that the site is in the US. I have reported it to the FBI.

Well, now there's another humanist group on there. Join, if you haven't already done so.

I came across that anti-humanism guy some time ago and dismissed him as bonkers.

[lewist]

...and dismissed him as bonkers.

Maria, you have a wonderful penchant for going straight to the heart of the matter.

[PriestofPoppycock]

Since when did Humanism become a philosophy of raping the earth and indulging ourselves at the expense of the environment? Many articles I read in the Humanist are very concerned about the environment.

And his idea that we should just slaughter everyone to save the planet? How the hell can that even be accomplished? No one would allow that, and even if we could slaughter 90% of the human race, as he suggests, our world would be drastically altered, economies would crash, etc. The impact that would have on the survivors mentally, emotionally, and otherwise would be devastating.

He offers no realistic solutions to our problems.

Thanks for that, it'll be done directly!

Ok he's bonkers, but do you really trust the FBI to handle freedom of speech issues? It's harmless drivel. Give it no more airtime.
