So many of you will have watched my video symbolism and propaganda. By now on my channel it's become one of my most watched videos and I see a lot of commenters talk about the problem, noticing in the stories these strange figures of the woman who beats all the men up and humiliates them.

And I see a lot of people complain about it, but I don't see a lot of

people understand why it is that this is happening. What mechanism is bringing about this type of

narrative? And so I thought that it would be a good idea to go into understanding the relationship

between hierarchy, the desire for equality, and how this desire for equality

actually leads to inversion, to upside down behavior. And so hopefully we can go through a few

stories. I can try to explain it to as much as I can. This is Jonathan Peugeot. Welcome to the symbolic world. Now our culture is obsessed with freedom.

We, freedom is one of the main qualities ever since the Enlightenment, this idea that

men should be free, that people should be free, that they should

not, that hierarchy itself is dubious. The notion that something that is above you will necessarily

be tyrannical, will necessarily show itself as imposing order and doing it violently or through

abuse. And so, of course course this is possible. This has

happened numerous times in history, but it is not the only way that things can lay themselves out.

And through the revolutions and through kind of the assent of liberalism, we've had this idea

of equality, that equality is the main value, let's say,

that we hold on to. Now, equality is a bit of a problem because equality is something which

ultimately doesn't end up meaning much, because when we say that two things are equal,

each thing has an innumerable amount of qualities.

You know, and so what do we mean when we say that they're equal?

Are they equal in value, monetary value? Are they equal in strength?

If you're talking about two people in intelligence or strength or, you know, the capacity to hide or the capacity, like whatever, we have an innumerable amount of capacities.

And so when we talk about people being equal, this is very problematic.
