Agreed; we're talking about people here; we should all be sad when a group self-harms this way, it doesn't have to be so. Clearly our society went astray somewhere in our duty to our members. They have agency as adults, but $ backed propaganda is very effective on folks strapped for time, money & education.

Also Social Darwinism jokes are off-point science-wise, since they fail to account for inheritability.

To be clear, I wasn't making a #Darwin joke.
