i know its silly to keep harping on that basketball pump IV needle person but their "survival is survival" statement pisses me off so bad. its such a misinformed concept of even just the mechanics of basic animal survival. humans are not a solitary predator species. humans are social apes and survival is something we do collectively. thats how come we humans are so good at "survival" via things like sanitation and proper tool use and standarized methods for treating illness and injury. making iv needles by sharpening a basketball pump on a rock is a good example of survivalist innovation in a specific moment but it is NOT a basis for a functioning society that effectively nurtures and protects its injured, elderly, and vulnerable members to the fullest extent it can.

#i truly cant stand anprim and social darwinist types i really cant #survival of the fittest is about the forces that drive evolution over thousands of years idiot not a basis for social ideology #and as others have said on that post basing your materials for emergency surgery on mass manufactured items is so #lmfao #(tosses aside hundreds of years worth of medical science and innovation) We'll Just Figure It Out In the Moment
