@Loosf@yiff.life The principle of survival of the fittest was never about strength. It is literally just the tautology that those most likely to survive are most likely to survive.
And importantly, it doesn't make things better, it makes things more likely to survive in a given environment. Whether it's by making a lion, a tapeworm, a koala or a raccoon.
Survival of the fittest is an absolute. It always applies.
Which is why social darwinism is an obvious lie. They do not want survival of the fittest, that's just a fact of life. What they want is an environment where their cruelty is rewarded and unpunished.
Much like normal people, they manipulate their environment and others to suit their ends. Except their ends happen to be shitty ends.
Any reasons they offer is mere disengenious charade covering up their malice.
Nature can be cruel, yes. But it can be kind, too. Cruelty is no more natural than kindness. -

the society is a beautiful dance between the cooperative communal people and the edgelords who need to calm down

@Loosf There are many examples of that strategy in nature and not just within a species, or even kingdoms (or whatever it's called now). Lichen's a great example, a fungus and a plant working together. Even more fundamental are chloroplasts and mitochondria (and potentially other organelles), both of which used to be independent single-celled organisms, but became integrated inside another one which enabled them to become parts of at least two entire kingdoms of life.

Cooperation is a common trait in many “animal societies” for the same reason. Every theory trying to motivate being a jerk to others by evolution is nothing else than an excuse to be a terrible human being and protect existing privilege/domination over others.

@Loosf Palaeolithic man was all about community too. And if some edgelord decided he was going to be boss people could just walk away or duff him up. Society made those options less tenable.

@Loosf to be fair, an older version of the build heavily specced into stamina, and the current version still has some bits of that
