It seems that the concept of the struggle for existence and/or law of the jungle is often used for self-justification.
"Those dear, are the dregs of society, those beaten in the struggle for existence. One mustn't associate with them." "Yes, Mum." "My late father, your grandfather, used to always say how the world was ruled by the survival of the fittest. The weak are defeated and must suffer the consequences. These are the rules governed by God . Therefore it is the strongest race, the diamond people, that will dominate the world. This is God's will. This is justice." "Yes, Mum." |
