Occupy Orange County protester: Mankind's 'very existence is bad for the planet'

In a video posted Tuesday at OWS Exposed, an Occupy Orange County protester says that mankind's existence is bad for planet Earth.

"Our very existence is bad for the plant," one protester told Alex Epstein of the Center for Industrial Progress.

Another protester told Epstein that human beings are parasites, adding that humans are not the most important creature on the planet.

"If you take humanity off this planet, the planet would explode with prosperity," he added.

The video ends at that point, but the protester did not explain how such a feat could be accomplished.

One idea put forward by a Portland resident is something called "Voluntary Human Extinction," with the thesis that if no more humans are added to the planet, the world would survive and flourish:

Named by Portland resident Les Knight, a self-described anarchist and a Vietnam-era veteran, the movement does not expect to succeed in the short term, and operates by the motto, "May we live long and die out."

Knight, who edits These EXIT Times and runs the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement Blog, believes that "every environmental problem is ultimately a population problem".

Environmentalists have repeatedly shown their disdain for humanity.

In Sept 2010, White House Office of Science and Technology Director John P. Holdren said he would use "free market" principles in a "massive campaign" to "de-develop the United States".

In May, a group of Nobel laureates gathered to put humanity on trial.

According to Johan Rockström, the chairman of the symposium putting on the trial, the "civil" case was designed to see if humanity had breached its' relations with the planet "and to see how to restore that relationship."

Representing "the planet," was none other than Obama science and technology advisor Mario Molina, a 1995 Nobel prize winner.

Environmentalists are doing everything they can to indoctrinate our children in these radical leftist ideas, and it appears that in the case of these Occupy protesters, they have succeeded.

These are the same type of people who once signed a petition banning water, called for two decades of zero economic growth and said industrialized civilation must end.
