Status Updates From The Evolutionary Psychology...

In removing the reward for effort and ability, such an r-type government will inevitably diminish its people's productive output and thereby starve itself of the very currency it requires to operate, and oppress. At that very moment, proliferative r-parasites will be multiplying without bound, attempting to consume ever greater amounts of resources that are no longer being produced

Given that the r-strategy is a competitive strategy, yet it seeks to avoid direct competition, it is only natural that such an envious, yet competition-averse strategy would seek to pit the competitors they are envious of against other competitors they are envious of, in such a way as to benefit themselves.
Within domestic politics, this will most often manifest in the r-strategist fomenting dissension

the K-strategist must realize that he is designed to interact with fellow K-strategists, just as the r-strategist is designed to exploit this group K-psychology. If K-strategists are to win, they must recognize that the r is different, and treat him accordingly.
One must treat the r as one would never treat a fellow K-strategist - rudely, with disdain, contempt, and ridicule.

liberalism and conservatism are suites of instinctual inclinations, designed to foster survival and reproduction under conditions of resource excess, and resource scarcity. Each has been engineered into humans in such a way as to spontaneously emerge in our populations in response to environmental signals indicating that their respective conditions of resource availability have begun to emerge

at the beginning of the pandemic, conditions of K-selection had already begun. Given this work, one would have already begun to predict an imminent rise in intellect, ability, group-functionality, and overall fitness in the population.
The conditions of famine were as would be expected in an r-selected population which had multiplied sans selective effect for some time prior, due in part to the Medieval Warm Period

Jost has found that research indicates conservatives tend to be less tolerant towards out-groups, more prone to seek stability, order, familiarity, conformity, and decisiveness. His work has also shown that conservatives are more prone to be motivated by fear-inducing and threatening stimuli, more prone to abide by rules, more loyal to their in-group, and less open to out-group interests.

To those on the leftward side of the political spectrum, however, every citizen desires to live in the r-selected environment - with freely available resources and absent any competition between individuals or disparities in competitive outcomes. To these individuals, this state of affairs is forestalled by a few greedy individuals who horde wealth unfairly.

The behavioral tendency towards disloyalty underlying it is also documented by such researchers as John Jost (himself a liberal), who points out that diminished levels of loyalty to in-group, as well as a desire to rebel against their own, are a hallmark of the liberal psychology

The K-selected species is one whose members have been culled by the limitations of the carrying capacity of their environment (K). If one's species exists at the carrying capacity of their environment, each new individual born will have to compete for a share of the limited resources to survive, killing off a less competitive specimen elsewhere within the species, even if only through a competitive denial of resource

An r-selected species is one whose members have been selected for their exhibition of a large r, or high maximal reproductive rate. r-selected organisms will adopt a high r as a means of exploiting an environment which freely offers a surplus of resources to all individuals.
