Reform - right (leftists would call hard right) Labour - left (incumbent government) Liberal Democrats - centre left Conservative - right Green - hard left
Also based Rupert Lowe with Restore, won 10/10 of the seats he campaigned in. Beating Reform by a landslide.
Today was the UK local elections. it doesn't mean too much politically, as most of these seats are for local councils with limited power. Their power is mostly fixing the roads, trash collection etc. But it's somewhat analagous to the US midterms in terms of a bellweather for political opinion.
Well, the right won massively. Given reform didn't even exist a few years ago, this is an earthquake in british politics.
The greens (fringe left) had a lot of hype and support recently, turns out most of that was hot air.
JFC her face is 40 going on 60. That is some hellacious battle damage. Either her genetics or her lifestyle choices were absolute shit and that's probably at least part of why she ended up single.
Grief for the life you imagined...
Bitch, it's call REGRET. It's what happens when you choose The Path of the Boss Bitch Whore.
Yes, naturally, intelligence is a product of evolution.
I believe the dimension of machiavellianism is independent of intelligence (re @Vermillion-Rx). It has to do with using other humans, as opposed of using nature. So, if human society is considered something positive, machiavellianism is basically parasitism. It's a strategy.
You can have stupid machiavellians. You see them everywhere. They try this and that small con. They eventually end up playing only with other stupids, because a smart guy figures them out.
Something I, and others, have been pondering, is the natural limit to intelligence. There's this unsolvable problem, death, for which there isn't a solution. We basically deal with it deceiving ourselves in a way or another. A bit too intelligent, and you might lose that capability, making you insane. The mad genius archetype, the bright kid who ends up with schizophrenia, etc.
And something that I have been pondering, is another problem of the same magnitude as death: realizing that your mother is not protective, but is taking advantage of you. The devouring mother is probably another route through which bright kids end up mentally unstable.

Now imagine she is from a group of frenemies and she is not even the best at bullshitting herself (or possibly she has not got even frenemies as she is now old and ugly and there is nothing frenemies need to do to keep her unhappy forever)
It dawned on mean through self medication (marijuana, booze and other recreational narcotics) and doctor prescribed psych meds, that over 50% of the USA is on drugs daily.
Not sure. I mean many fools are useful and kept around for that reason and also I'm sure plenty of fools had parents who foolishly didn't wrap it or anything, hence why they exist at all. Fools are a necessary cog in society so they'll end up reproducing and allowed to
I'm not sure as for the machiavellianism. I don't think a fool is capable of the tactic and foresight for it. So I think it inherently requires intelligence as a pre-requsite as is.
I'd argue machiavellianism has more of a need to combat other savvy people, rather than mere fools. It's particularly useful on arrogants like shortsighted narcissists
