They are obsessed with superiority and supremacy. More than anything they believe in hierarchy. Hierarchies of the inherently "superior" (ie, themselves) over the inherently "inferior." It's everything to them. Literally everything.

    I'm always trying to think of a suitably offensive term for people who believe heirarchies are natural and desirable. 'Rarchs, supremacists, boot-brained, the cruelty-inclined - nothing good so far.

    Faith in heirarchy - the conviction that others deserve to suffer for your benefit - is the poison seed from which springs the objectively worst behaviour of humanity: war, genocide, slavery, empire, fascism, capitalism, colonialism, monarchy, institutionalized religion, etc.
