    I think we all largely get what you’re speaking to but I feel compelled to highlight that you can’t breed average people out. “Rulers” and “servants” are social classes, and not “in the gene pool.”

    The message got a little muddled there.

      that you can’t breed average people out.

      Actually, you can. I’m referring to the middle class and their increasing difficulty in raising a family. A significant amount of them are choosing not to, which literally means they don’t get to carry on their lineage.

      I’m not going to get into the whys, but very poor people do not have the issue with reproducing that the middle class has.

        There is no “middle class”. There’s labor and capital. You’re either serving or getting served. I know very well where I’m at. :/

        Duckduckgo “myth middle class” and take your poison of choice.

          That’s not entirely true.

          People in the middle class have disposable income that lower class people do not. Many of them have enough wealth to live comfortably for the rest of their lives without ever having to work again.
