Conservative minds have never been capable of imagining a fair and equitable society. Hierarchy, to them, is necessary as a function of human existence. Therefore, they will always fight to be, or to be perceived as part of, the ruling class.

I'm okay with formal hierarchies, such as in an organization, where there are checks and balances and accountability. A racial hierarchy is bullshit.

I don't agree with that all hierarchy is bad; a tree structure allows scaling. But The Peter Principle book explained why they result in society being shit.
