Y’all always love eugenics jokes. And like always, before you get pissed about me telling you that this is a eugenics joke, yes, equating evolution with intelligence is reliant on eugenicist notions of natural human ability and evolution as a process that picks out the “bad” or “weak” elements of a species.
Darwinism is a concept that only refers to how traits are passed on, not what normative values those traits have. What you’re referring to is more akin to social-Darwinism, which was a pseudoscientific concept that emerged as a catch-all rationalization of social inequities along the lines of arbitrary social values like industriousness, naturalized class, racism, ableism, etc.
Unsurprisingly, it was popular among Nazis. I hope you understand the irony in applying it here to make fun of a person who subscries to an anti-science concept promoted by fascists.
The down votes you’re receiving are social Darwinism in action lmao. An idiot killing thselves through their own choices is not eugenics. But it is something we can all appreciate, and before you say it, NO I do not think we should be making the world safer for idiots. If you’re too stupid to survive the day to day and do shit like the OP then good riddance.

How about you and your strawman find a room, since you see really into it.
