Comment on We are not "Right Wing"
iamtanmay@wolfballs.com 2 years agoYou are right, but you missed the most important thing..... Time Scale. Dominance is only viable as a short term strategy. Its very unstable
older alphas to be overthrown by younger ones
Young chimp alphas get torn to pieces as well. They just need to fall sick, and the next 2 biggest chimps, maybe 90% his size will end them.
jockey for power and disongenuously use any rule to win
Yes, but these forms of dominance are unstable. Tyrannical systems are always short lived, check any history book.
Women aren’t particularly attracted to wealth, but by its power
This is true, but incomplete. Women were presented with 4 mate choices -> Poor & untalented, Rich & untalented, Poor & talented, Rich & talented. All things being equal, they pick the richer mate.
However when forced to choose between a Rich untalented man and a poor talented one, they preferred talent over money.
A guy with talent is more attractive than a useless idiot who got an inheritance.

...potential, literally being a form of power.
Women tend to be rational when it comes to betting on resources of any kind.
On the instability of force, it can stall endure for a while, and some of the most oppressive systems, whether poltical, corporate, or organised crime, can be enduring.

Men evaluate women on physical attributes as proxy for health and fertility. Nobody is 'rational' in this. We are driven by biology.
Some systems like Mafia appear 'appear' oppressive, but are symbiotic with their constituents. For example, during Prohibition, mafia influence was massive as they smuggled alcohol to 'customers', & during Kyoto earthquake, Japanese mafia provided relief long before govt could react.
Every system is a mix of Oppression and Symbiosis. When the balance tilts to Oppression, regime change happens. This was true during the time of Kings, and its true today with democracies.

What you describe is rationality, albeit with the caveat that free will does not appear to exist.
Regime change happens as a result of sudden economic change - expectations suddenly being not met, something that is anactive risk right now, globally. Economics drives all politics.
