History PlayingWith / TheSocialDarwinist

%%* '''Implied''': ???

** Bob's repulsive Social Darwinist behaviour drives away everyone, and thus is even more prone to being wiped out of the gene pool, since in Real Life cooperation and trait diversity is more advantageous for long-term survival than individual strength.

** Bob's philosophy is specifically shown to be a self-serving justification of privilege since it is due to social station rather any actual merit - let alone heritable merit. Even if the resources were enough to help him succeed he would be the dog that caught the car, since the underclasses he despises as weak were the only thing making his lifestyle possible.

** Bob implements a eugenics program, but instead of making humanity stronger, smarter and healthier, it renders the gene pool so shallow that even more people are born with the same disorders he despises. Said people inevitably end up sterilised or killed under such a system, exacerbating the problem until the lack of genetic diversity wipes out the species.

** Bob implements a eugenics program, but instead of making humanity stronger, smarter and healthier, it renders the gene pool so shallow that even more people are born with the same disorders he despises. He keeps having those he deems "unfit" sterilised or killed, exacerbating the problem until the lack of genetic diversity wipes out the species.

** Bob lives an isolated life and is a [[MisanthropeSupreme self-loathing misanthrope.]] He uses Social Darwinism to justify his resentment of his family and his peers, his job and bemoans over how dull his life is. In reality, he's a [[EmptyShell sad parasite]] who fantasizes about [[OmnicidalManiac the death of humanity]] but is unwilling to actually hurt anyone and chooses to isolate himself further as his social darwinism is used to justify [[HeManWomanHater misogyny]], [[ItsAllAboutMe toxic individuality]], [[StalkerWithoutACrush revenge against those who rejected him]] and his hatred of the world. He's convinced himself that he's a sociopath as the Social Darwinism takes over him like a parasite and eventually destroys him from the inside out, having reduced Bob to a shadow of his former self.

* '''Inverted''': Bob seeks to wipe out the "strong" as he sees them as unruly and noncompliant, in favor of the easily manipulated and controlled "weak".

* '''Exaggerated''': Bob, a [[ANaziByAnyOtherName racist]] [[EvilOverlord tyrannical]] {{Evilutionary|Biologist}} [[EvilColonialist Imperialist]], desires to wipe out those with even the slightest sign of weakness and become the "[[{{Ubermensch}} Ü]][[TransHuman berm]][[UltimateLifeForm ensch]]" [[TheUnfettered through any means]], even if it means causing the [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Apocalypse]].

** Bob lived (or [[FreudianExcuse grew up]]) in a [[CrapsackWorld dog-eat-dog environment]] [[StartOfDarkness which warped his philosophy]]. In this world Bob needed to fight hard to get what he wanted, which means that he's a SelfMadeMan, but the shady game he was forced to play in order to reach his [[AmbitionIsEvil ambition has made him sour and cynical]].

** Bob looks like a Social Darwinist on the outside, but is eventually revealed to have in secret a genetically-disordered IllGirl sister, [[PetTheDog and Bob loves said Ill Girl even more than his very own life]]. The reason why he behaves like a Social Darwinist is because it's a CrapsackWorld and [[KnightTemplarBigBrother he had to be ruthless in order to create for his sister a nice, healthy world to live in]].

** Bob brings up a lengthy BreakingLecture about Survival of the Fittest, even giving the equivalent of an entire class in Evolutionary Biology and the ideology of Nazi Germany, [[HarmlessVillain only to justify]] [[PokeThePoodle stealing candies from babies]].

** Bob generally believes in rule of the strong, but he isn't totally lacking in compassion -- he will happily help "worthy" poor people who prove their mettle through strength, brains, or sheer determination to stop their talents from being wasted, even if he doesn't care about other poor people at all.

* '''Inverted''': A [[DirtyCommunists villain]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist wants to preserve the poor and the weak]] while it is [[PoliticallyIncorrectHero the heroes]] [[GoodIsNotNice who subscribe]] to Survival of the Fittest.
** WeaknessTurnsHerOn

* Bob believes that the strong shall thrive and the weak will perish, taking it to such an extreme that he believes that only ''he'' be the strongest, and [[OmnicidalManiac kills everyone else to maintain that status.]]

** Bob decides that rather than kill his enemies, he takes full advantage of DefeatByFriendship to get the weak to work for him instead.

* Bob believes that the strong shall thrive and the weak shall perish. His enemies use this to utterly crush him, reducing him to a screaming, flailing fearful mess who begs them not to kill him. Either they do kill him anyway or they decide to enslave him, believing that the strong deserve to rule and the weak shall submit.

** Bob's repulsive Social Darwinist behavior drives away everyone, and thus is even more prone to being wiped out of the gene pool, since in Real Life cooperation and trait diversity is more advantageous for long-term survival than individual strength.

* '''Implied''': Super Bob keeps on his SuperheroTrophyShelf of defeated villains a crumbled statue of a man with a plaque reading "Only the strong will survive." Implying either this or a doomsday cultist

** Bob believes that if it is possible for someone to die, then they [[StrawNihilist don't deserve to live.]]

** Bob eventually goes HeWhoFightsMonsters, and eventually dominates and [[KickTheDog tortures]] said IllGirl, reducing her into a mere pet and plaything, because in his eyes she's too weak and pathetic to be even considered worthy of being human.

** {{In a world}} where Social Darwinism was followed to the letter, only the [[GoneHorriblyRight fittest and smartest person survives by killing off all inferiors]], [[RealityEnsues thus leading him to become]] the {{last of his kind}} and it's ''[[TearJerker very]]'' {{lonely at the top}}.

** Bob is more Jerkass than outright villain and [[MightMakesRight believes in personal strength above all else,]] and sees no point in fighting unless forced for survival - the weak he believes will die on their own eventually and fighting just to prove your strength is a ploy of the weak to look strong.

** The reason why Bob is a Social Darwinist is because he really had to fight[=/=]struggle hard to get what he wanted, which means that he's a SelfMadeMan, but the shady game he was forced to play in order to reach his goals, and the hardships he faced through his struggle, has made him sour and cynical of the world in general.

* '''Zig Zagged''': Bob knows natural selection is a fact, but is repulsed by it, but then recommends that we should gain more power and the weak should be "euthanized".....
