In reply to the discussion: Well, I learned a new word today [View all]Snarkoleptic
(6,168 posts)"If you love them, let them starve." was printed on their table drape.
I chatted them up a bit and the gist was-
Feeding people in areas where there was insufficient food supply is increasing/dragging out suffering as already starving people are having children who are also suffering.
It was a odd viewpoint in light of the teachings of Jesus, so I shrugged it off as I didn't want a 3 on 1 debate.
>I'm an Atheist, but the school had some mandatory Theology courses and there were always weirdo groups setting up tables. The anti-choice folks were always handing out metal pins that looked like tiny baby feet and they seemed sincere, although misguided IMHO.
I though about this after reading a Newsweek piece where I had to look-up the word "efilism"-
Pro-mortalism or anti-natalism is the belief that it is better for people to die to prevent endured suffering than to continue living.
It also shared a belief in efilism, which is similarly anti-natalist
The alleged manifesto, seen by Newsweek, did not offer any views about political parties or address other topics.
