My take on where incels fall on the #bioleninism scale. Could use edits and reworking.pic.twitter.com/j3p6y8p2NX

true, like all egalitarian movements, christianity has a peculiar relationship with status anxiety
I would argue that a mark of egalitarianism is not so much status anxiety in general but one of a particular kind (it comes with an obsession to comparing everything to master/slave dynamic and has an odd feeling of BDSM, revealing a fear that one is, indeed, a slave).
is there another kind?
Imagine you’re in middle school and some smaller kid viciously teases you without giving you a chance to respond; you get anxious to assert yourself and get back at the bully for the fear of losing status in the eyes of peers. This is non-egalitarian status anxiety.
right, but it isn't qualitatively different from the status anxiety that informs egalitarianism
It’s different: in the 1st type you seek to destroy the hierarchy (with the devil on your shoulder suggesting you are unworthy), in the 2nd type you seek to preserve the hierarchy (with the devil on your shoulder suggesting your challenger is unworthy).
both for the same purpose, the prevention of enslavement. the difference lies entirely in the way this is done, informed by the status one already has
Only egalitarian status anxiety, by definition, seeks to “level” the hierarchy itself.
