Australia and New Zealand among many others would like to have a word with this Tweet.

Jesus, that one guy in the replies basically saying ‘lol the world is kill or be killed, get over it sweaty’. Just some casual social Darwinism fake science for Twitter to allow.

This Malthusian “human nature” shit is possibly the most insidious and successful bit of capitalist propaganda. It’s accepted as fact by so many people, they don’t even consider for a second that it might be a different way, that humans adapt to the environment they’re in. And it’s used to justify literally anything.

I fucking hate it because it’s dangerous pseudoscience masquerading as real facts. It gives it a veneer of reason that it doesn’t deserve and it tricks a lot of people into thinking that it’s just the way the world is supposed to be.

That’s why I hate rugged individualism in zombie movies/games: “it’s law of the jungle now, everyone for themselves”—motherfucker, you literally have a higher chance of survival as part of a group.

Romero zombies, best zombies.

They are dangerous but also victims. While humans can survive against them effectively in groups, but ultimately fall apart due to those that use it as an excuse to indulge in there fantasies.

Right? This isn’t human nature, this is virus nature. Though I am starting to suspect that there are more than a few quislings in high places…

The sad irony is that the indigenous people of Australia here are always protesting that they want their land back but I guess Britain can’t hear from that far away otherwise I’m sure they’d give it back!

British colonial strategy:

Option 1

Genocide local population

Replace with Anglos

Give independence to Anglos

Anglos agree with everything you do anyways

Option 2

Install native monarch

Natives realize monarchy is shit

Monarchy relies on you to survive

Grant monarch independence, absolving yourself of any obligations, while retaining control of the government
