CHAPTER

The Vices of Superiority and Inferiority

Vices of superiority are the vices that characterize people who feel superior, to establish pecking orders where they are at the top. Vices of inferiority are thevices of people who feel inferior. And i also argue thata people who are in subordinated positions are more risk of developing these vices. I don't want to say that people should be blamed for because they are serviler because they are timid. What i'm suggesting is that one of the things that oppression does, or, if you want, morgenealization and subordination does, is that it makes into people who are more servile.
