@Loosf 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.

@flesh @Loosf Society and cooperation is in fact how we evolved as a species to be the fittest. 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.
