Social and economic Darwinism is their friend
or so they think. That is until they start dropping like flies from that fake ass Covid hoax, or an Ivermectin OD once they accept that its actually a thing.
More than a few will unintentionally Darwinize themselves, their friends or loved ones with those weapons they imagined would one day make them heroes.

(48,988 posts)Scientists have found that cooperation is ALSO a factor. That does NOT invalidate Darwin, it adds to Darwin.
In fact, cooperation is simply another aspect of competition. Groups that are good at in-group cooperation survive better than groups that aren't, so their DNA propagates better than the other DNA. It is competition between groups and not just individuals.

(17,902 posts)All play a part to varying degrees in the ultimate test of species survival...replication. Darwin and Wallace were most certainly on the right track. Not perfect in all the details of their theory, but that rarely happens. Newtonian mechanics work great in certain contexts. Got humans to the moon and back multiple times, but breakdown in relativistic and quantum scales.

Slow and steady, mates......
