Sure, I agree with you on that. 🙂

I want to add something. My view is that, the concept of the alpha male marks the beginning of fascism. The imagined ideal female is attractive, has big breasts, a curvy body, and is always white. Those who consider themselves to be "alpha" desire that. Ultimately, it completes fascist thought and leads to eugenics, the inevitable end of fascism. Fundamentally, fascists believe in Social Darwinism. In every aspect of their lives, they live by the principle of survival of the fittest. My belief that liking boobs is just a "kink" is sometimes discussed on Reddit. And those who are against this idea always bring up the "survival of the fittest" crap. You people who are educated in Marxist theory probably have a different view than mine. But I firmly believe that if we want to defeat capitalism/fascism we must fight the Social Darwinists. Darwin's evolution theory is used by those people to argue that the "strong" should dominate the "weak". Anyone who cares about humanity's future and has empathy should fight against it on every front. It also leads them to racism, ableism and homophobia.

Darwin’s weird. I feel like I always hear Marx had something good to say about someone and then later something bad. In Darwin’s case Marx and Engels sent a letter to Darwin saying his theory confirmed their dialectical materialist view, and later he said “it applies the social Victorian model to nature,” as in he projected English society on to natural laws. Similar with Lincoln. I guess this makes sense with a dialectical view where things like the theory of evolution have contradictions, good and bad. BTW, it is Herbert Spencer, not Charles Darwin who is credited with the phrase “the survival of the fittest.”
