| #203A HIERARCHICAL RIGIDITY |
|
This
title names the conservatism that’s part of my worldview: it’s
associated
with a social dominance orientation in which a social hierarchy is
maintained via discrimination-based legitimizing tools (paternalism,
meritocracy, race-based, wealth-based, etc.) Believing it’s consistent
with a natural order and fosters social stability, I accept the
inequality inherent in such social ladder society—and
its often centralized organizational /power structure based on adhering
to rules, conforming in a cultural / moral sense—
and value property rights and the status quo. |
