Our Liberal Dominator Hierarchy

Is the bad old days of the feudal era and the patriarchy, if you can remember back that far, the world was ruled by Dominator Hierarchies.

But the progressive educated elite offered itself in the nineteenth century to end all that. No, in the future we would all be gently led into a new era of equality and end the marginalization of groups oppressed by the dominators and the marginalizers.

That’s what they told us. Now let’s think reality.

Was there ever a Dominator Hierarchy like our modern progressive educated elite that rules today? It occupies the commanding heights of the culture. Its ideas dominate the activities of government. And the mighty barons of the corporate world are summoned to bend the knee at its congressional levees (the Louis XIV kind, not the Louisiana kind). We are even seeing a return to sumptuary laws, as the lower orders are learning that they should not travel around in big, wasteful SUVs but in modest transportation more appropriate to their station.

usgovernmentspending.com, of course, is an eternal witness to the liberal Dominator Hierarchy’s implacable power. Just take a look when you have a moment.

Want to opt out of the centrally administered program of government pensions at $900 billion per year? Good luck chum.

Want to opt out of the centrally administered program of government health care at $950 billion per year? Out of luck, chum. The Dominator Hierarch plans to increase the level of compulsion.

Want to opt out of the centrally administered program of government education at $875 billion per year? You can, of course, but you still have to pay your share anyway. And the Dominator Hierarch is planning to extend its power and control to pre-kindergarten.

Want to opt out of the centrally administered program of government welfare at $465 billion per year? Good luck, chum.

Notice the level of compulsion and domination here? We have just reeled off 20 percent of GDP in force and compulsion, and we haven’t even got to defense and policing yet.

Funny thing, isn’t it? All this noble largesse isn’t free, and it isn’t voluntary. The Dominator Hierarchy has decided what is good for you and your job is to say how much you like it.

The charming thing about this implacable liberal Dominator Hierarchy, the most complete and powerful, perhaps, in all history, is that it experiences itself as an enlightened successor to a Dark Age of Domination, called to witness to the evils of domination and to gently minister to a grateful people its new order of diversity and inclusion.

But then, what is new about that? Every tyrant thinks himself a savior. The only fiend in all history that revelled in his evil was Othello’s tormentor, Iago. But he wasn’t real, just a fiction.
