That explains the George Soros-type libs - they have power and influence; but how do you explain the idiot junior-college professor-types? They're not going to decide jack. They'll be eating tree-bark like the rest of us proles. What's in it for them?
You’re begging the question. They don’t know they won’t be at the top of the food chain.
Actually, if you look at the Soviet Union, even minor party officials had higher status than the average prole. True believers were rewarded with those positions.
You have to look up r/K selection theory.
In nature, a species will mostly adhere to one of two reproductive strategies. The study of these strategies is called r/K selection theory in evolutionary biology. The r-selected organism will try to survive by reproducing as fast as possible through promiscuity and short term relationships, they will invest as little energy as possible in child rearing, and they will avoid all competition with peers, to maximize survival and success. Clearly the Liberal seeks to avoid all competitions with peers, whether in Capitalism, war, gun control (gun violence with criminals), or even standardized test scores in civil service exams. The Liberal supports promiscuity, and cannot grasp the importance of Family Values – itself an expression of diminished psychological investment in child rearing.
The second strategy followed in nature is called K-selection. K-selected organisms are programmed to compete with each other, they carefully select the fittest mate possible (to maximize offspring competitiveness), and they invest heavily in rearing highly competent offspring as a monogamous couple, to maximize the ability of their offspring to outcompete peers. Clearly, from Capitalism, to war when confronted with threat, to gun ownership, Conservatism is about the freedom to compete with others. In supporting monogamy until marriage, and Family Values, it also shows adherence to the K-selected psychology in mate selection, monogamy, and child rearing.
These Liberal tools likely have "loser" genes, and poor parenting, which produce this pychology in other species in nature. They just want all competition outlawed, as that is how they are programed.
