Please never confuse evolutionary psychology with evolutionary biology. No one is more critical of evo psych just-so stories and sloppy science than evolutionary biologists. (Note that we have our own problems and assholes in evo bio too, but not the same problems and assholes.)
The “evolutionary psychology” in question is the claim that women are ruining science because women’s brains evolved to be incapable of science. Obviously the kind of nonsense just-so story that gives evolutionary psychology a bad name but sadly gets little pushback from the field

Wealth inequality has set the stage for our current political condition. The billionaires stay in power by dividing the groups who might otherwise unite and oust them from power. The race baiting, xenophobia, homophobia, and faux religious pandering is all part of the strategy. We shall overcome.
For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.
Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.
This is why we must fix the system. AOC is right.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Rubio just made a speech to the European defense community in Munich that did not mention Ukraine. Or democracy. Or US business deals with Russia. Or the administration's plans to support the European far right. But there were lots of nice words about our common civilization.
