R/K Theory for newfags

I see this asked so many times and too seldom is it explained how different the mind of a leftist is from ours. Short answer is that our brains are different, check the brainscans. If you are not sure yet which you are, a scientist scanning your brain could tell you: braindecoder.com/post/politics-neuroscience-1282982492

Haven't you ever thought how two highly intelligent and educated men, one a leftist and the other a conservative, can be presented with the same evidence and the same facts yet reach two opposite conclusions? What r/K theory proposes is that political ideology, like much of our behaiviour, is an expression of our survival strategy. First you are presented with facts and presumptions, then your brain (being wired genetically to be either r or K) interprets the facts in a way that makes sense for your biological survival. Depending on the selective pressures in nature (society), either r or K will be more successful, meaning that the successful strategy will be better represented in the future generation. So far r and K selected organisms have been living side by side in several species, humans being one of them.

The prime example here is the wolf. When there are K selective pressures in nature, the species will adopt K-traits. K selective pressures include a limited food supply, harsh punishment (death) for failiure and fierce competition for resources. If a pack of wolves live in an area inhabited by enough prey to feed X amount of wolves then each new cub is above the enviroments carrying capacity. As a wolf mother gives birth to her cub that is number X+1 she has to make sure that this cub is strong enough, smart enough and adaptive enough to outcompete one of the pre-existing wolves in the pack or the cub will starve as soon as it is on its own. In this enviroment some traits give wolves a clear evolutionary advantage. Like, the wolves that seek the best possible mate, monopolize this mates superior genes through monogamy, wait until they are old enough to take care of their offspring and then spend much time with their offspring which matures more slowly (but advances further) give their offspring the best possible advantage to compete in life. If a wolf would screw around and pop out offspring willy-nilly with no thought or rearing, most cubs would not have what it takes to succeed and die off as soon as winter comes, being outcompeted by their stronger more well trained peers. Other K traits include being able to work well in groups, where in-group loyalty increases everyones survival chanses. Hostility to outsiders; if a competing pack encroach on your territory they threaten the entire packs survival as they eat your prey and thus they limit your pack's food availability. If not driven out, your pack will weaken and allow for more encroachments until you die out or leave the territory all together. The life of the K is a struggle to perfection, where the weak must perish so that the strong may survive and advance the species as a whole.

The posterboy animal for the r selected strategy is the rabbit. Think of an unlimited food supply (grass), that could never be eated in all your lifetime and a predation that kills seemingly randomly (hawks, foxes, hunting, etc.) and your life could end tomorrow. The bunnies that are exclusively monogamous miss out on several mating opportunities that leave you outcompeted by your peers that screw anything and everyone. The bunnies that spend too much time rearing their young cannot produce as many batches of younglings as their less caring peers, and what skills could their mother teach them? Running away, mating and eating grass is all they need to know and they've got that in their genes already. A rabbit who fights for territory wastes time and energy and gains nothing. There is always more grass to eat and this rabbit will be outcompeted by its peers who simply will eat and if need be, run away. In such an environment in-group loyalty offers the rabbits no benefits, anyone can survive fine by themselves, and all are preyed upon equally so why stick your neck out for others?

A good example of these two strategies existing side by side in the same species is the cuttlefish. During mating the males outnumber the females 11:1 and the strong K selected males fight eachother to gain the right to mate with the females, here the weak die without offspring so that strong win and can reproduce, making the next generation stronger. An underhanded trick the “beta” cuttlefish have adapted is to disguise themselves as females to avoid the hard competition and fighting they clearly stand no chance of winning, to distract males to fight for it and sneak away to mate with the female while the K selected duke it out. The more successful this strategy is in securing mates, the more cuttlefish will be playing the same strategy during the next generation.

You can already see which humans are K and which are r-selected. Evolutionary a K-strategy makes you loyal to your in-group, which in humans translates to anything between your family, sportsteam and your country. While holding an inherent hostility towards out-groups, as they threaten the survival of your group in a world of limited resources.

As for the r selected humans, they struggle for survival during times of hardship and flourish during times of plenty. Think of ancient Rome, they succeeded by being the strongest, smartest, most well organized and best adapted to the environment. Conquering the neighbouring tribes and later nations they spread their seed and culture beyond horizons their ancestors could not have dreamed of. Yet their victory deafeated them, the rise of the plebs, the urban poor, lived off handouts from the state while holding an unproportionate amount of political power for the little they produced for the empire. Their wealth led emancipated many women, as they were no longer dependant on a husband to support them, in the late republic many women held powerful positions in the city of Rome. Their riches attracted empowrished clans from the north to move into the empire and set up their farms and villages to become productive tax-paying roman citizens, instead these goths’ descendants later sacked Rome in 410 A.D. The writer Juvenal raged that the city had lost all that which made it Roman, other writers describing how the late period the empire was a mix of tribes from all descents, african, greek, assyrian, teuton, goth and so on. Everyone losing their own sense of identity in the mix except for the Hebrew and the Teuton. The empire had lost its character, as it no longer represented the interest of any one group, which led to the constant infighting in Rome which later became its demise. As the Roman state inevitably collapsed so did the population of Europe.
Without the carefully constructed artificial environment to suit the needs of the r selected population, people were once again forced to fend and provide for themselves. Being outcompeted by their superior K peers the overbloated r selected population of beaurocrats, artists and bohemians, plebs, whores and degenerates collapsed. Now only hard-work, in-group loyalty, monogamy and religious devotion gave humans the best chanse of survival, Europe returned to its natural state where only the strong survive. The very same environment that had created the Roman Empire to start with.

The r selected individuals within humans have a smaller more underdeveloped amygdala giving them a poorer threat perception. As a K selected person might see muslims blowing up left and right and percieve them as a threat, the r selected brain is quite literally unable to make this connection. As their brain is unable to make a connection between ‘muslims’ and ‘threat’ they assume there is none! After all, that is how their brain is interpreting the incoming information, and as they assume there is no threat they call the K selected whistleblowers “Paranoid” for seeing connections that do not exist.
In practice, this feeds into the r selected survival strategy. As they need the K selected peers to fight eachother and die off because that opens up more females that they may then mate with. If all males in a nation are K-selected, of the same in-group and loyal to eachother the r selected have a very hard time to get laid at all, being outcompeted at every turn since the K selected males are all alive and can put more of their energy on wooing the opposite sex. Bring in a group of out-siders and the picture changes. The natural resentment between two K’s from different groups fosters a climate of conflict, like that of clan warfare for territory to race-/religiouswar within a nation. Having the K males kill eachother off is exactly what the r strategy gains at, and if a neighbouring tribe counquers them the r’s will be the first to change to the winning side. Adopting their culture, habits and language to continue their underhanded reproduction strategy in a new in-group, that is if they did not already betray their K in-group members before the war to win favour and guarantee their place amongst the victorious out-groupers. The r selected individuals tend to be awfully unaware of their own reproductive strategy while following it to a T. It is therefore always in the K selected peoples interest to find and purge r selected members wherever they find them.

“If you have no enemies within your walls, the enemy outside can do us no harm”
-old african proverb

I briefly touched on this subject. I approach religion out of a completely evolutionary point and therefore support it wholeheartedly. At testing it is found that this gene activates around the age of 6 which is when children start to rationalize the unexplainable with the supernatural. The gene ties in with emotional intelligence, which is why austist lack it and often rage against the concept of religion which they are biologically unable to understand. During human evolution, this mutation made it possible for people to hold abstract ideas of morality and spirituality, this gene made it possible to foster a stronger in-group spirit and out-group hostility than practicality could ever produce. It fostered trust between in-group members, greased the wheels of social interaction while helping enforce K values like monogamy and purging of ‘heretics’.

Say for example that if the group would become too successful and enviromental stress started to decrease, the K selected members would slowly start to adopt r-traits to gain a reproductive advantage. Yet if you could persuade people with the help of abstract consepts such as god and morality to give up some of their personal evolutionary gain by switching to a more r-strategy the religion could strenghten the survival strenght of the entire group. The religious morality would allow for the purge of in-group members labelled ‘heretics’ (i.e. people who break with the K selected strategy) by burning them at the stake for example. If the religious institution stops purging heretics, then the defectors/heretics/degenerates/r-selected whatever you wish to call them, will slowly increase in number until they become strong enough to dismantle/hijack the religion completely.

You can see autism as a form of extreme r strategy perhaps, it is an expression of a “anything goes” strategy which flourishes during times of moral decay. They are people who would be driven to close to extinction in a better society which would not tolerate their poor hygiene, lack of social skills and sexual degeneracy. Yet in a society which has replaced standards with unconditional tolerance, these human garbagepiles can still find ways to survive. An atheistic autistic island-of-one tolerant man is the expression of the evolutionary peak of r strategy in modern society. These are the men who pray for a “HAPPENING” just that it may kill of more K seleced men. Yet perhaps the autists are far more prone to be able to learn and adapt to hardship to survive in a post-HAPPENING world, unlike his hipster beta peers who would all starve to death in the cities. The lines between K and r are not always clear and my thoughts on the autists is only speculation.

On the other hand a K selected man could be praying for a HAPPENING for different reasons, like if he begins to see that his society has become hijacked and overpopulated by r selected individuals, he is simply hoping for the collapse that will bring an end to the welfare state and thus destroy the environment that fosters the r selected population. A collapse would bring about the same population adjustment as the fall of the Roman empire, where women would flock to the K selected males who can defend territory and produce food in a resource scarce environment.

"Everyone knows what The Pill is. It is a small object […] yet its potential effect upon our society many be even more devastating than the nuclear bomb."
-Pearl Buck on contraceptives 1968 Reader's Digest

As the world changed after WW1 & WW2 we saw a great die-off of much of Europe’s K selected males in the slaughterhouses that were the battlefields. The wars served only to completely decimate the patriotic, religious, conservative elements and thus the genetic backbone of the European race. America walked relatively unscathed through both wars and thus is a much more K selected country than many European states. The r-strategy had a field day, with much of the K males dead on the eastern front and new technologies eradicating any traces of scarcity, the r selected population boomed. This would have been the end of our race if not the pill had been introduced. Hear me out here. The proportion of r to K selected people in Europe had changed drastically in just a decade, and now the enviroment removed much of the scarcity to allow for even more expansive population growth that the r-strategy could capitalize on far more effectively than the remaining K’s. Thus Europe started drifting more leftwards, reflecting the evolutionary strategies of its inhabitants. Yet the contraceptives saved us. The left love sex without responisbility, because in nature that means many offspring they wont be wasting their time or energy on. If you give this to them in practice, it means they castrate themselves. Imagine putting a condom on every male rabbit, and putting every female on the pill. They would now never have to stop screwing, as they are genetically prone to do as much as possible, by avoiding pregnancies. The rabbits would die off within 2-3 generations all the while thinking they are living the dream.

K selected individuals do not se loads of sex as the ultimate goal, but healty offspring. In humans K selected indivduals will have more children as they plan for creating a family. Contraceptives allows K’s to start a family exactly when they feel they are best suited to provide for one. As you can see each are just following their own reproductive strategy. Let me hit you with some numbers. Here are the birthrates by political affiliation across many nations. (pic related)
Republicans: 2.7
Christian democrats: 2.5
Tories: 1.7
Democrats: 1.5
Social democrats: 1.2
Labor: 1.1

By the middle of the century the K selective populations will after almost 100 years of contraceptives have successfully outbred the r selected popultion even though we live in a relatively scarcity free society. An environment that should benefit the r’s! Any self-aware K should support free abortions and contraceptives as these unproportionaltely target the most unwanted elements of society (Blacks/leftists/r-selected individuals). The legalization of abortions in the US have successfully curbed the growth of blacks and has to this day been the most effective program of population control of coloreds. If the KKK had killed a quarter of the blacks that have been aborted we would never have heard the end of the “second holocaust”, yet liberals willingly go along with this flavour of genocide and we should help them on their way as they merrily skip towards their extinction, completely oblivious of the path they’re on.

My prediction is either a slow return towards more right-wing and K-selected policies in Europe, where the populations in overrun countries will become muslim caliphates (Germany, France, Sweden) and other nations kicking out their muslims, redrawing the maps of which countries are really European. The other, more likely scenario, is a relatively quick unraveling of the wests power structures like that of the soviet collpase in the 90’s except on steroids. Starting an era signified by population adjustment, racial and religious wars, scarcity, K-selective pressures and low government authority as different groups vie for power until new structures and borders can be established.

(I disagree with their conclusion on National Socialism as they as american K strategists fail to understand this European brand of K strategy, but that is another subject.)

It's a nice read OP.

Just read the beginning of the abstract and already smell how shit this study is

I have a question: Lots of leftists tells us that crime is entirely determined by income and opportunities but I remember there was a comparison of white and black cities(or groups) with similar socoeconomic level and whites ended up having less crime. Can anyone give me more info on this?
