General Discussion

Before the edit I typed that the goal was to killed Americans, citizens or not. It should have said that the goal was to kill *non White* Americans.

But I also believe, though Nance did not mention it, that Trump and his oligarchs want to "thin the herd" by killing off people who are below certain income levels and people with disabilities or serious illnesses because their care costs too much. If they don't have enough money to pay for surgery, medicines, physical therapy, and medical equipment like wheel chairs, leg braces, walkers, etc., too bad. Let "nature" winnow them out. Regarding vaccinations, if they die from an illness, it was meant to be. Superior people with superior genes will survive.

It's social Darwinism. Instead of cooperation and helping each other in bad times, they favor competition and everyone fending for themselves. Except they do seem to believe in the richest and strongest banding together for cooperation in eliminating anyone they think is not worthy of life.

You can see in Trump's life where this attitude comes from. His father could not tolerate weakness or any kind of failure or illness in his children. The only thing Donald had going for him was his family's wealth which made him feel superior to others. So when he encountered kids at the military academy that he went to, and later in college, who came from wealthier families, he was driven to seek that wealth for himself, in any way possible, legitimate or not.

He's such a hypocrite, though, because whenever HE screws up, or misfortune comes to HIM, he expects to get help and be bailed out by someone else. Most recently, it's Iran that he expects the world to help him with.

People like that do not understand the evolutionary terms of survival of the fittest and natural selection. Those terms only mean that when the environment changes, people (and other life forms) need to adapt to the changes biologically and socially. Biologically, the ability to adapt (evolve) is a toss of the dice. Genes that work in one setting might not work in another. Socially, cooperation is a good adaptation, for individuals and for the species.

More than 2 millennia ago, the Bible expressed how everyone is vulnerable and no one can assume lasting superiority. I think it's in the book of Ecclesiastes. This is not exactly verbatim, but from memory, it says that the race is not to the swift or strong, but time and circumstances happen to all.
