      Everybody thinks they’ll be the boot, but spoiler, they’re a face.

          Oh yeah. The hierarchical thinking inherent to the Conservative mindset is one of authoritarianism. They want to know their place in the hierarchical structure, which they wholeheartedly believe places them above someone else. Even though they have a boot on their face, at least they have their boot on someone else’s face too.

          They truly believe there must be a hierarchy. They can’t seem to envision a world without boots on faces or that maybe we should work for a place without boots on faces.

          Why do you think so many societies decided that women are inferior? When the lord beats the serf, the lord knows the serf will go home and beat his wife. If the man and wife were equals they’d be more likely to join together to kill the lord.
