VANCOUVER (LifeSiteNews) – A Vancouver man named Howard Breen has applied to the British Columbia health care system for euthanasia because of his “eco-anxiety.”
Breen does not have a terminal illness but desires to end his life because of mentally suffering which has ostensibly been brought on because of climate change – or at least his perception of what climate change is and its potential consequences.
Before we think that he is just grasping at straws and appealing to generic depression or melancholy and associating it with his climate views, he has in fact been officially diagnosed with “eco-anxiety and biosphere-related depression.”
Breen told Vice Magazine: “It becomes debilitating, the depression that I’m feeling around the state of things, and my inability to not be apprehensive about the future of my children specifically, is a huge concern for me.”
His personal Facebook page sheds light on his psychological disposition.
He wrote: “I AM NOT TERMINAL – MY PLANET WILL SOON BE!… I was the first Canadian to apply for MAiD [i.e. so-called Medical Assistance in Dying] for climate and nature anxiety because I did not want another of my activist friends to opt for an unmerciful self-deliverance from their deep despair.”
He then blamed conservatives in federal parliament for not supporting suicide for reasons such as eco-anxiety – I am not sure if there is evidence for that – and he blamed the premier of British Columbia for having “directly contributed to the deep sense of failure and ultimately the white-knuckled suicides of my comrades.”
He threatened to die of thirst by not drinking water in order to save old growth forests, and said his last words would be “Shame on the [far left-wing] Horgan NDP!”
Dark mind reveals a dark ideology
That Mr. Breen is suffering so greatly is very sad, and I hope he feels better and finds happiness, unless he has already done something irreversible. It should be noted that suicide is always a permanent solution to a temporary problem, and men like him should be helped in any way possible to see the light and find hope.
That being said, this window we have looked through into the mind of an environmental activist speaks volumes to the depth of despair inherent in that ideology.
Breen is a member of the Extinction Rebellion, which is a group of radical environmentalists who practice the old, tired tricks from the glory days of Greenpeace, but take it a step further. In fact, occult magic and suicidal ideology are not foreign to the mindset of the s0-called Rebellion.
It is a tragic irony that a man dedicated to rebelling against extinction believes that making himself extinct is a solution.
In any case, Breen’s mind and plight are indicative of a deep spiritual and philosophical issue that goes beyond mere environmentalism. There is an existential nihilism – a belief in the ultimate nothingness of existence – that plagues Breen and those who think like him.
One of many Doomsday cults
Doomsday cults have always existed; sometimes they are explicitly religious, sometimes not. Ultimately, the ideology of the Doomsday adherent is that there is some sort of existential threat, and something must be done now. It is virtually impossible to get everyone to believe in the same ideology, even if the cultish ideas hold a certain power over the minds of society at large, like environmentalism does.
Thus, the most devoted of the bunch ultimately realize the futility of their endeavors but are “in too deep” to get out. These ideas also make people resentful of their fellow man, which breeds hatred for life itself. When all is said and done, suicide or even homicide is the logical conclusion for someone on a path like Breen’s.
The COVID ideology is not so different, even if the grip of the cultish framework is failing.
We can easily find parallels between virus zealots and enviro zealots. Both believe that a grave threat will soon kill us all, and a collective action is necessary lest we all perish. It is easy enough to stoke fear and get people to buy in, but in the end the ideas are too wacky to hold the attention of the masses forever.
Abusive ideologies
We often hear the devotees of these groups espousing the idea that they are motivated by compassion. COVID disciples have prattled on about “the vulnerable” for over two years now, and Breen makes it clear that his concern is ultimately for his kids.
However, it is the vulnerable who are hurt the most by these insane ideas. The elderly and the children of our societies have been the subject of a type of human sacrifice in order to “beat COVID” without any care for their quality of life. The last moments of the lives of aged persons have been sacrificed — apparently to save the aged — and children who have never been at risk of COVID have had two years of their burgeoning lives stolen from them.
Environmentalism does similar things to the vulnerable.
I recall being present at an assembly when I was a teacher that shook me to my core. It was during Earth Week, and there was a slew of presentations scheduled for the kids. One was about mental health and the environment, and it was as insane as you might imagine.
The presenter explained to the high-school kids just how bad everything was, and that the world was basically doomed. She then explained that it was a good thing to be upset about that because it was indicative of a compassionate heart, etc. To help the students make sense of their righteous melancholy about environmental woes, she suggested unplugging, doing some breathing exercises, and spending time with friends.
That’s right, the world is doomed, and we should be sad about that, but as long as we spend less time on our phones and breath like a yogi, we will be happier.
Watching children be exposed to this under the supervision of numerous adults was one of the reasons I knew I had to resign from teaching.
I’m afraid that I don’t think Breen will be the last of the eco-euthanasia seekers.
What other conclusion other than suicide can be reached if you believe that humans are a planetary plague, and that it is everyone else’s fault, and that all you can do to be happy is spend less time on Tik-Tok?
