    The far left and far right both hate evolution. It has so many implications that if you have false axioms it's bound to hit them somewhere.

        Left doesn’t realise capitalism = emergent order and natural selection. You can’t be pro-science and anti-capitalism without cog dissonance.

        What works is a better gauge of justice than motivated subjective judgments of selfish monkeys.

        Sorry, but increasingly the intellectual basis of the "far right" is rooted solidly in evolutionary theory.

        It's just recognizing obvious effects of mutation + selection. Right hates the former, left hates the latter.

        You're going to wish you still were dealing with Christian fundies. Now you have to deal with fascist nudist bodybuilders.

        Evolution may not be the only or best way to progress, for eg, once we produce the next viable generation, evolution requires us to die.

        Myths about evolution like 'survival of the fittest' remain inexplicably, endearingly popular among doughy white lottery winners :)

        Darwin's focus on adaptation really doesn't support the kind of final perfection that eugenicists sought.

        With a few exceptions the far right has always been grounded in evolution. Paul mistakes the far right for Christian conservatives.
