Top-down authoritarianism, muscle over mind, as in male-sex survival-of-the-fittest violence, can take and has taken different political forms through deep history. Globally, psychological consciousness evolves, notwithstanding deep imprinting of counteractive politics. Instantaneous, inter-personal, global communication in the modern context tends to be an equalizing factor within control politics. One senses that female persuasions are in the ascendancy, in interests of common survival. Something of a religious rebellion is happening.
One cannot help but believe that the 'politics of religious sense', whether Roman Catholic or Orthodox Catholic, are being impacted by evolving psychological (female) common sense. Male dominionism, whether Orthodox or Roman Catholic, is not the wave of the future; one might believe, however, that 'EARTHEOLOGY' is. http://www.secondenlightenment.org/ABOUT%20Book%20III.pdf
