You know that thing where you play a game according to the rules, and you win, and the other player gets mad because the way you won was “cheap”? Some people get mad that same way about society. “In my imagined version of thousands of years ago, I’d have more social power than you, so it’s cheap that I don’t have more social power than you in the social game we’re currently playing!” Dude, it’s your job to convince people to play the social game differently.

(Or possibly guillotine people who refuse to play differently, if the social game they’re playing is “I’m the king and you all have to listen to me.”)
