Being Picked On, American Style!

If there were ever a more concise manifestation of Darwin’s theory of natural selection, personified in a political philosophy, it would be capitalism.

How does that blowhard sentence relate to the massacre at Virginia Tech? That’s a good question.

In a society that promotes the “survival of the fittest” or “descended from the fittest” mentality, the first order of business is to create a hierarchy within that society, and put people in their places. If you want a high place, you need to put other people down, or pretend to boost them higher to exploit their need for the same positioning scheme while serving your own purpose. (See the “Susan Powers” effect). Anyone can be whatever they want to be, but you have to fight everyone else to get it.

So if this is the society, then the learning grounds for this society would be the school yard, the great equalizer. What better way to learn about the harshness of reality than to have it concentrated into day-by-day warm-up session for life. The hierarchies are in place, the social ladder is stable, and the learning ground continues on. The strong survive and the weak get picked on, that’s the way it has been and will continue to be in such a cut-throat society. It’s needed to train our future adults the harshness of this world, and give them the tools to fight their way to the top.

So when zit-faced pussies bring guns to school to kill innocent people to prove their point, then kill themselves before they even see that point sink in, it shows that some people refuse to let the lessons of life sink in. We are not all created equal, but we can make everyone equal by force. Whether it be through elbow grease and determination, or killing people.

My message to kids currently being picked on: Get the fuck over it. We have all been picked on, you’re no special. The only thing you will change by emulating this practice is the lives of the people you point that gun at. Society will not change for you, you have to change for it, loser.
