I wouldn't mind, the reference I wanted to use was deleted between me coming up with the idea, and actually starting to type. Annoying really. It was about how certain bands in politics tended towards the assumptions that hierarchies were natural and indeed even desireable things, how morality was determined not by the result of the action, but by the hierarchical position of the actor. The higher ups are inherently good and deserving - the people on the bottom are inherently bad and undeserving. The inherently moral deserve the boons of life. The inherently immoral deserve to be made to suffer.
It's the ones who deem themselves to be real-life's protagonists justifying themselves being the moral centre of things because they're the ones with the titles.
No matter how noble the nobles, a monarchy is an inherently evil institution, and only becomes more evil the more power concentrates on the throne. It denies people their right to change and redefine themselves and be something more and instead demands they find their place in the hierarchy and stay there.

I'd be kind of curious to see what Rajvik's contribution to that would've been..... because, well, on the one hand....
We can roll it through later and see what can be assembled. What ideas work and what doesnt and who the fuck is this John Galt fella anyway? I really wouldn't mind some help framing this....
