The two types of reproductive strategy mentioned in the previous post are not pure types, and many variations persist in day to day social life. For example, though the modern American leftist follows an r-selecting strategy, they actually reproduce less often than traditional families. What gives?
This owes to a dissonance between one's preferred ideology and one's way of life. The modern leftist, when they are losers of the mating game (read: fatties, uggs, etc.) will often adopt r-selecting philosophies as a way of attacking the indifferent mating game which has scorned them. Rather than seeking r-selection as a reproductive strategy, they seek it as vengeance against those who produce excess and win the mating game (read: married people, K-selecting communities). Therefore, these individuals share common political ground with r-selecting collectives, and though they will not be welcome at any r-selecting orgies, they long for the day when they can deplete K-selecting excesses and destroy the happy families they were denied by the zero sum mating game. These individuals are therefore among the most wretched in society, as they do not steal resources to reproduce themselves but to prevent the K-selecting reproduction of others as a malicious act. This explains the abundance of r-selecting leftists who are unlikely to have children, or actively hate children to the extent of reflexively aborting them. They aren't supporting an ideology to pursue happiness in their own lives, but to spread hate for other people's lives. The best way to deal with such individuals is to seal them out of one's life, avoid them, or destroy them.
