I think everything you wrote above "So in general," was pretty obtuse, but the rest makes perfect sense. I don't think it's quite as complicated and convoluted as you make it out to be but I get the underlying point you're trying to make. We get mentally lazy if we're not conscientious about how we let our subconscious pretty much take the driver's seat and we can't always be conscientious about watching ourselves 100% of the time, but some people don't spend any time dwelling on this at all so they end up on a downhill, degenerative route and become the kind of people chanting "Make America Great/White Again". Evolution apparently has stopped weeding out that sort of thing which would otherwise be catastrophically disadvantageous because they tend to breed more and leave us footing the bill for all their fuck-ups because we're so compassionate. I hate being the good guy sometimes.

I dont think that evolution has weeded out that kind of thinking because it is still a very strong evolutionary quality to be tribalistic. And we're humans, we have more control over evolution. Sadly, we allow bad traits to persist out of humanism
