    Most sane people don’t celebrate darwinism either, but here we are. People don’t usually see a gazelle baby being ripped in half by a lion and say “We celebrate this!” No, most normal, well-adjusted people to society see that and understand there’s nothing they can do about it and move on. Celebrating darwinism is weird.

      Nobody likes watching the sausage get made, but they still enjoy it. Darwininism is the same: ugly to watch play out, but beautiful in its product.

        Right, watching children suffer because of their parent’s actions is a beautiful product. Sane, well-adjusted people say this daily. Musk was right: Empathy, even that modicum amount for babies being eaten by the leopards their parents voted for, apparently is out of fashion.

        If the price to pay to watch republicans die is watching the babies of republicans die, then that is a price normal society will gladly pay.

        The working poor are literally slaves. The working poor absolutely vote republican. I choose to personally empathize with the children of slaves who love being slaves. Those kids are set up for a life of misery and have very few options in front of them to get them out. Very few people, as we see in this thread, will root for those kids to succeed in life. No one is trying to help those kids have a good life, not even their parents. Certainly not the strangers around them, who would sooner grab a chair and popcorn when they see the leopard approaching the kid, instead of lending a helping hand.

          If Darwinism had properly and rightfully claimed the apartheid-supporting parents of Musk, we wouldn’t have had to deal with the shitstain that is Elon

            So you just don’t understand Darwinism at all? Cool.

            Keep on blaming the poor instead of blaming the rich. Keep on applauding the poor becoming homeless instead of voting for solutions. Go volunteer for once in your life. Do some good for this world, just once please.

              Elon Musk is a poor person? His family were poor? What sort of alternate reality do you live in?

                  You must not have read my original comment that you replied to about Darwin, so I’ll repost here for you convenience.

                  Here’s the Darwinian force I meant that family’s mentality attracts:
