If you say so.
The question was whether anti-humanism is a number game or an attitude.
If it's an attitude, then the suicide probably trumps the mass murderer,
since the mass murderer believes he or she works to further a particular
kind of human life.
If it's a number game, then the so-called "natural world" is probably
the top anti-humanist -- killing myriad humans since the Pleistocene
through plagues and diseases, parasites, predator-prey relationships,
earthquakes, volcanoes, wildfires, droughts, tsunamis, mudslides,
adverse climate, lightning strikes, meteor impacts ... down all the
millennia to the impending Global Warming catastrophes and beyond.
