Unless we die young, eventually we all become weak. We all perish eventually, some sooner than others.
If you want to live in a Darwinian society, live somewhere in Africa or Asia, you will get much closer to that ideal in a more primitive society than you ever will in the USA or Europe.

If you re-read my post you may see that it was meant as sarcasm. I was trying to say that the people who wish of the end of liberalism are the ones who want a Darwinian society. FDR's new deal is the philosophy and the policy I hope survives.

What's funny depends on your point of view. That "joke" has an offensive point of view. For a real laugh, change the caption:
