The blood lines of kings, queens, emperors and czars demonstrably show fairly poor rates of long term Darwinian survival. This suggests brutal application of simplistic social darwiniansm is infact self-defeating.
The more viciously social darwinian you are, the harder Darwin seem to swing his hammer upon your blood line.
