Romantic-Hierarchical values
Heroic idealization
Dominance hierarchy
Force and solidarity
Strength is the cardinal virtue, softness and indecision are liabilities. Clear hierarchy makes collective action possible - someone must lead and others must follow. Willingness to sacrifice for the group is the measure of a person's worth. Commitment is total, half-measures and ambiguity are uncomfortable.
Life phase: youth.
Social unit: tribe, nation, movement.
Social structure: monocentric - single axis of command, all others subordinate.
Key spheres: politics, military, organized ideology - power and force are the primary levers of social change.
Time: mythologized past and projected destiny, time as the weight of collective obligation.
Mindset: mission.
Objective: maintain and strengthen hierarchy.
Action: commit fully to the cause, oppose enemies without hesitation.
Development: strengthen collective power through discipline and decisive action.
Emotional baseline: intense and polarized, swinging between fierce elation and dark brooding hostility.
Era type: authoritarianism.
Shadow: individual human cost becomes invisible behind the mission, the appetite for dominance becomes self-serving rather than collective.
