Politically extinct

A: When an individual or group ceases all political activity and never becomes politically active again
B: A situation where a particular political ideology or party has so little support that it is seldom mentioned or discussed in political interactions; regardless of whether those interactions are held in public or in private
An example of a political party that is politically extinct is the Whig Party. It began going extinct in the early 1850s while trying to recover from the presidency of Franklin Pierce. It was trying to form platform to run on in future elections, but they were unable to form an effective platform and over time they began losing large amounts of support to the point at which the party eventually collapsed.

Extinctionism

The ideology also argues for the gradual self-extinction of Homo sapiens, thereby enabling the living Earth (Gaia philosophy) to restore itself to a natural state.
Extinctionism and altruism are synonymous words to Extinctionists.

"We know that a man can read Goethe or Rilke in the evening, that he can play Bach and Schubert---and go to his day’s work at Auschwitz in the morning."
