When I was a kid, I loved watching Bill Nye The Science Guy. I was always a huge science geek and Bill Nye and Mr. Wizard were my favorite.
As as adult, I was disappointed to watch him turn into a political hack using climate change as his cause celebre to jet set around the world with politics giving speeches.
Then I saw this:
We can talk about the negative effects of a low birth rate on the economy and how that is going to hurt retiring baby boomers.
But that’s not really the point.
Let’s make no bones about this, once you appoint yourself the arbiter of how many children a family is allowed to have, you have taken position of committing genocide. Time is your gas chamber. There is no moral difference in ending the lineage of a people by killing their children versus stopping them from having any. Limiting a birth rate to below replacement, just stretches the genocide out over a few generations.
Of course this begs the question, hoe does someone like Bill Nye propose to punish the unacceptably fecund? Are parents to be jailed? How does that stop them from reproducing again? Is compulsory birth control required? Sterilization?
The Left argues ceaselessly that abortion bans are a form of control over women’s bodies and is therefore bad. Yet telling women and families that they cannot have children is not the control of women’s bodies, or at least it’s not the “bad” kind of control.
In less than a minute, Bill Nye transformed himself from a partisan hack to a petty tyrant taking a position of soft genocide.
No one, no one, no one has the right to dictate the makeup of my family. Past dictators have tried to do that to my people before. I will not let it happen again. I don’t care about the reason. Not for the Vaterland. Not for Mother Earth.
Never again. With a bullet.
There have been a lot of liberals/progressives who’s minds have simply snapped and broken after Trump’s victory. To liberals, Nye is like a low-rent version of Neil DeGrasse Tyson, but he’s still “one of them” and has completely lost it. I think in the case of our beloved scientist here, what has happened is that liberals tend to deify the people they like, and now that he realizes there is not only a sizable portion of the population that doesn’t care what he says, but that portion is now running the show, he’s unable to cope with his demotion to mere mortal. So he lashes out with his quasi genocidal drivel and is apparently ranting about how gender has no basis in science. Mental illness is a real thing.
“liberals tend to deify the people they like”
Every one of their candidates is uniquely qualified to hold absolute power — regardless of their history of corruption, incomparably brilliant — despite showing every sign of being a mediocrity, and a paragon of physical health — even with a history of drug abuse.
I like to compare it to the fuhrerprinzip — if only because the average lefty has no clue what it means or where it comes from.
The man is trading off of his good will from his children’s television days.
