For the last, say, two hundred years, the oligarchy has bred the lower classes, much in the way they once bred slaves, albeit indirectly and systemically. Science informs us that there are certain genetic predispositions toward a willingness to engage in conflict and aggression (be that righteous or otherwise). The so-called ‘warrior gene.’ Incidentally this is also connected with certain pathological social behaviors (psychopathy, sociopathy, etc.) if exacerbated by environmental conditions that induce extreme stress.

Back to the oligarchy’s breeding program. The primary environmental forces exerted on individuals, with regard to editing (selecting) the characteristics of the next generation of humans within the Anthropocene, are laws and capital. Laws are used to concentrate capital within the hands of the oligarchy, thus ensuring that their less-social inclinations are both publicly hidden and less visibly expressed from a subjective standpoint. In contrast, capital is taken from below, and laws are weaponized against those from below, thus creating a hostile, stressful environment in which bestial impulses are encouraged, visibly expressed due to lack of control over one’s station or other options for dealing with impossible circumstances, and, most importantly, sanctioned.

You are not in conditions that require ‘acting up’ at the top, but should you act up it is either seen as an inherent sign of intrinsic superiority and treated as such by society, or it is concealed via the mechanisms of law. Should you ‘act up’ at the bottom, you will face further social pressures, likely imprisonment, and eventual removal from the system via structural murder by the system. This effect is compounded by the narratives of allowable, permissible politics. Only the centrist zone of rhetoric-only, action-exclusive social liberal inaction is permitted with regard to reform, and only the right-wing politics of disparity, hierarchy, and control are permitted by way of structuring societies, and the global order, themselves.

They’re keeping and empowering their warriors, and using the systems and structures of society to make them even more untouchable. Those desperate or brave enough to stand up from below are being systemically crushed, thus making it less likely, from an evolutionary standpoint, that resistance will be as intense within subsequent generations. The world has been divided into two groups, one with too many rules to endure and one with none at all. And the group with no rules at all is systemically, structurally selecting out those capable of effective resistance or reform from the lower stratum.

In other words, the fascists were half right. They just had it backwards, they based their rhetoric on ideology or arbitrary identity rather than science. And, as with economics, research, policing, and so many other areas of society, those who hold capital took what they saw as the best from fascism and incorporated it into the world we inhabit today. But make no mistake, whether they are fully aware of it or not, the oligarchy is using economics, law, prison, and structural murder to sculpt and weaken subsequent generations of their opponents. The politics and economics that we endure today are facilitating and accelerating this.
