Authoritarianism

If these people exploit those below them, they will often find it necessary to justify it by discriminative attitudes. Because they may live in a world that is at a distance from the lower classes, they may be incapable of identification and compassion. Their whole identity is defined in opposition and contrast to those below, and thus their attitude cannot be very sympathetic, except by charity at a distance.

Liberals and the lower classes in general, tend to assess their own Consequence and status from the bottom as a base, or as degrees more than and greater, to which they are closer and have a greater understanding. Still, because of the hierarchal and progressive nature of the system, the general perspective is to disdain, what is lower and respect what is higher. Thus while there will be a higher degree of compassion for low circumstance, the expectation is to move up, out and away to higher goals, and in the process an estrangement of what was. Thus the Liberals will tend to abandon their liberalism with the coming of their kids.

In terms of Conservative Spirituality, race is not an issue. When value and Consequence are assessed as inherent in the creation, existence and being of any given entity, the entities significance does not depend upon a degree of conformance to a progressed, developed and perfected ideal and model, independent of its own inherent composition. Every natural entity is considered to have a nature, that is consistent with the necessity to exist in the environment of its circumstance, like the relationship of a squirrel with trees, fish with water or birds with air. The nature of all non-human entities serve in some manner, the make-up of the whole as the planetary existence, without which the whole could and would not exist.
