(Turn back! Stop reading! Go away, innocence once lost cannot be regained!) claiming non-white people are r-strategists while white people are K-strategists is a big far right foghorn. (wiki page on the theory) In their bs theory they ignore that this is about differences between species (of course they are also racists so yeah, this isn't hypocritical on their part, just a sign of racism), and r-strats are physically impossible for humans, as we don't have enough nipples + we take too long to mature etc. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dgerard@awful.systems 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) yeah, at that point we're past "quacks like a duck" and "precise subspecies of mallard" into which groups are hanging out in which ponds this week permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Soyweiser@awful.systems 3 points 2 years ago Yeah and a lot of “precise subspecies of mallard” people don't really seem to care that the ducks keep attacking the children playing in the park and have learned to shit on peoples heads. In fact, they start to call the people who are being attacked by the ducks, ducks themselves (some of the 'worried about subspecies' people even look suspiciously like 3 ducks in a trenchcoat). permalink fedilink source parent
