Typical cultural superiority bias.
Every way has its pros and cons. Having an age related hierarchy might have benefits like societal coherence or stability. I am not a proponent of it, I just acknowledge my inability to fully grasp the impact and ramifications as to label one as superior and the other as "perverted".
>benefits like societal coherence or stability
The situation looks exactly the opposite if you look at the birth rate in the Korea.
I obviously did not mean numerical stability.
In the modern day, Korean culture is absolutely cooked. There is a reason their birth rates are so terrible. Talking to Koreans and consuming even just a little bit of media about Korea makes some of the problems pretty obvious.
If you think hierarchy is natural and good you're a conservative or some other kind of reactionary.
Hierarchies invite revolt and need a lot of force to keep in place.
I did not talk about natural, I did not talk about good.
If you think there are no hierarchies everywhere, then we have a completely different worldview.
It’s sounds like we’re running into the is/ought problem - just because there is hierarchy doesn’t mean that’s the way it ought to be.

I will point you again to the usage of the word "perverted", which you missed twice.
Additionally the bias I pointed out is highly relevant to the discussion and therefore my argument is not an ad hominem. I can wait for you to calm down if you'd like, so your next reply is less emotionally charged. (that one was.)
