Hey if you want to wholeheartedly embrace a worldview so nihilistic it doesn't have an answer for why we should try and stop people from doing mass murder, go nuts.

Ah. The non-sequitur approach to debate. Charming.

If you can’t see the difference between allowing a plant to naturally spread and mass murder, I pray for those around you.

You were saying that mass extinction was no big deal, not “allowing a plant to spread,” and the reasoning you apparently embrace would in fact lead to that exact absurd result, so it is not a non sequitur.
