As a normal human being, I have every reason to want to see our species thrive. The only argument I really have is that I'd like them to survive on their own two feet like we did. I don't get a check every month for a baker's dozen of fatherless kids I spat out and plunked down for the TV to raise. I didn't use the government as a club to beat money out of tax paying citizens and all I want is the same consideration. I happily donate to good causes, but I don't OWE it to people. The government is a robber and I'm asking for the robbery to stop. It's quite a leap to turn that into saying I want them dead.
Personally, I agree with Jordon Peterson. There's a segment of the population that isn't fit for much of anything, IQs too low even for the Army, and we're gonna have to make a place for those people. It's a numbers game. They're gonna exist. Neither side of the political spectrum seems to have an answer for that. I know the left's habit of pretending we're all interchangeable and equal isn't working. My competition for survival isn't really with those people. I'm smarter and stronger than they are as evidenced by my lifestyle. We're not short of anything. Resource shortages are created by the government for their purposes. My competition is the government. (Which is why I'm suspicious of the ruling.) A big part of the problem is that we don't think like Gates, et al. do. We're normal people. We don't go around all day studying how we can use the government to force other people into what we think is best. We just want to live our lives and enjoy the fruits of our labor as we see fit. Which means we aren't always able to predict what wad of shit is coming at us from those control freak bastards.
They (Gates, etc.) believe they are stronger and more intelligent because they are playing a game that they set the rules for. The minute we take that structure away (i.e. limit government power) they will find out that they aren't all they think they are. The bar is low because the government put it down there for them. Our job right now, as people who value individual liberty and ideas like freedom and the Constitution, is to create parallel systems so we can cut government out of our lives thus limiting their power. They have only the power we give them.
