I had a broken clock once.

If you work backwards from extinction, through the collapse of the biosphere, to the fall of our civilization...
... I mean really, what kind of government would you expect to be in power to preside over that?
Wow. Like a zen koan.
If a tree applies bronzer in the forest, and no one is around, does it still embezzle?
How, the fuck, is this "bizarre?"
He's a sundowning, semi-literate, demented, narcissistic, dysphagic, self-obsessed asshat who has NEVER been able to focus on anything that isn't a Fox News segment about himself.

A commercial incentive?
If you want to commercialize solving the ills of society, you end up with death camps as being simply the end result of efficiency.
If you want to solve the problems of various demographics rather then viewing them as gender-specific instances in order to benefit the whole of society you get, among other benefits, a lot less genocide.
