  • Only in areas with tigers, and then it would only express itself enough if there were enough evolutionary pressure exclusively on that survival tactic.

    As long as other causes of death happen to deer in tiger territories and as long as speed remains a good survival strategy, minor mutations that would only provide an advantage in extreme specific scenarios like a tiger stalking them wouldn’t have a chance to be spread.

    There’s also a whole host of additional brain power that needs to be dedicated to more complex colour blending and processing, and that may add enough delay to offset any potential gain in recognizing a threat.


  • Social governance in the US is mostly window dressing. The class oppression is the same, dems just don’t pretend poor whites are a higher class than other minorities. To the dem or republican leadership your gender, sex, nor race really matter. As long as you’re not trying to remove the class divide then you’re good enough. Even the most racist republican would happily go along with a black president as long as said president didn’t threaten the economic order. Its why Obama was allowed to do as much as he did.


  • ‘Free market,’ market-oriented reform capitalism; think Reagan, Bill Clinton, any moderate or conservative before the trump era.

    It has been the sole economic theory in power in the US since the 1970s, with more or less a sliding scale between more neoliberal (republicans before 2016) and less neoliberal/more classical liberal (Biden’s and Harris’s campaign messaging, not Biden’s actual actions).

    The reason it sounds confusing, especially in memes, is because you think dems and republicans have different economic theories behind their actions, when in actual legislative reality they’re just more or less neoliberal, and the minute differences get overblown in campaign rhetoric.











  • I mean this in the kindest way, but you’re too illiterate for this conversation. Jobs have nothing to do with obtaining capital. You are not a capitalist if you have a job. You are a capitalist if you rent the means of production to the people with jobs in exchange for the majority of the wealth created.

    You. Specifically you. Are not and will never be a capitalist. You will never have a significant amount of capital, and the vast majority of humans have none.

    Read literally any theory, then join back. This is why we say you libs say every left wing person is a tankie. You don’t know the basics, much less who is or isn’t a tankie.
