I did. You wanted me to prove that great man theory was evolutionary Tribalism which I not only didn't say but specifically refuted.
What the fuck is your problem? You aren't happy being right in an argument.
No, either provide your source for your claim or withdraw it.
Withdraw what? You confused Tribal leadership with Great Man theory.
Prove that Tribal leadership has no evolutionary basis or withdraw your claim.
No, no Motte-and-Bailly. Source your actual claim
I said this:
"The forces that create the environment for a Hitler to come to power are different than the personality cult that develops after the person is in power."
Which is literally Herbert Spencerβs critique of Great Man theory!

I also claimed that tribalism has evolutionary roots. You need a source for that?
No, you didn't. You claimed that MAGA will die with trump because evolutionary biology. Source that claim
