did not simply submit to Zealot, they wanted such superman power.

      The superman of antiquity is a warrior. And this warrior leads new units into battle. Crowds of tailless soldiers can get their trophies from victory, and this means their joys. Masses of tailless (rootless) people can turn into new contenders for power. On any power. For any glory. But first, fame gives power in the traditional world. If there is no war for a long time, then the tail of glory inherited from the ancestors to completely undeserved and completely worthless people.

      Thus, the dictatorship over the person will be defined as an institution of hereditary monarchy that will be ruled by Rex, Caesar, king, basileus which meant the unlimited power of one person in the future. And the next monarch will not necessarily have to perform personal feats and win victories on the battlefields, although victories will still be desirable, will warm the vanity, and his children may even be completely incompetent in military and state affairs.

      This is what the root of glory, aka the tail, means, given by glorious ancestors or even by one great ancestor. That the heirs automatically inherit power, and all the courtiers start running around, fussing, scheming against each other for a kind look, and for a caress from a completely worthless person on the throne. (If you take any regime of modern autocracy, then today even the glory of the ancestors is not needed, the power itself is important, and the dictator will be loved and respected by all the courtiers and all the people.

      Love and respect so much that in place of the non-existent tail or root of fame, a huge tail of hypocrisy and lies grows. Where exploits are supposed to be recorded, there are tons of flattery and instead of the root of real glory, a cult of personality is built. Although the cult of personality is more of an institution of Asian fame).

      Whatever it was, but any worthless descendant of Genghis Khan could take power and the title of khan, while the great commander Tamerlane modestly limited himself to the status of a local emir (local official). How could it be that Tamerlane, who had won so many victories and overthrew the mighty Golden Horde, was limited to the status of a Roman praetor? It couldn’t be in Rome. It just couldn’t. Yes, the Roman zeremids, the Roman horsemen captured Rome, one after another. But this was the time of the soldier emperors. The time of the soldier emperors lasted for a very long time, almost three centuries. And this time ended completely disastrously for Rome and the imperial population. The time of the rootless on the throne led to the collapse. But even more, to an empty seat came the backward barbarians. But they had their own big, wild tail. These new empire tails were the old tails of the Germanic ancestors. And what is needed for the empire? The empire needs the tails of its ancestors!

      But when the completely tailless from the position of noble ancestors, that is, there can be no noble ancestors among the Zeremids at all, began to usurp power, this signaled only one thing: that the time of the seizures had passed, the time of the division of the old lands had come. An empire exists only if it expands. It grows with new lands and newly conquered peoples, which can be cultivated and plundered at the same time. If there is no longer an opportunity for expansion, and therefore for military captures, there comes a time of stagnation. The time of stagnation is the time when people without roots act.

      It seems to them that there will be no more war than the power can be seized by intrigue, bribery, or by showing off your power. Of course, there are battles, but these battles happen inside the imperial territory. The victory in the civil war in the ancient world was much less valued. But who cares if there is a way to take power! Then a bunch of courtiers will run around you these people will sing for you the asana. The people pre-processed by the propagandists to love. The power is so sweet!

      All the rootless (tailless), rootless proletarians want to climb up all the time. And there it is completely irresponsible to enrich yourself at the expense of the people. If a given people are so backward that it supports the cult of the family more than the constitution, then all officials use power, simply in the name of wealth and fame in the circle of their relatives. Of course, the court singers can immediately inflate such fame to the skies. And the whole similar coven with embroidery of a colorful tail for the owner will inform everyone only about one thing there is no noble class here. And nothing else. After all, all the Zerefs in human history have always imitated the propertied class. And dressing up in an expensive dress, a suit to surprise people, also says what “fame” is valued here.

      Chapter IV

      There are no castes, there is no empire

      If there is a metropolis, there must be dominions. If there is a Horde, there must be satellites. If there is an imperial center, there must be provinces of the empire. Why do need this list of administrative status?

      The fact is that traditional worlds do not live outside the hierarchy. If there is the main territory, the center of the empire, where the most privileged people, citizens, live, then there are people of low status. The provincials themselves are uncultured. (And this is not a simple stereotype). And if we were talking about the tail of glory that inevitably grows when two traditional people come together, in this case, when two representatives of the traditional elite (the Zerots) meet, then they greet each other as an equal. If ordinary people go to meet the feudal lord, they are obliged to bow and greet him in accordance with their status.

      Previously, people were ready to fight. In peacetime, and this is a quieter period, longer in time, people of low status were required to work. So in ancient India, there were castes. The Indian example of a tradition is perhaps the most rigid version of the division of people by status. So rigid that transitions from one caste to another were not allowed. That is, the Indians use such an ancient root of their fame that it is so thick and deep, and the root must go deep, it closes their view of additional options. No talent and no merit!

      Suck it up and work!

      If you were born in a slave caste, then you are a slave and your children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be slaves. This is what heaven has decreed for the existing life. And who is born where, in what family, it depends on how a person spent his life. If he did not resist his slave status and did all the work conscientiously, only in this case in the next life, the new birth, he will be lucky and will be born in a Brahmin family. If he did not recognize that he was a Sudra, was lazy, and resisted fate, it means that he did not fulfill the task assigned to him, he will be born again in the family of a Sudra. Everything is decided by the sky.

      Among the Zerefs, civil laws are generally difficult to take root.

      They can issue many codes, constitutions, codes of laws, but they still do not work. Wherever people meet, they don’t pay attention to these laws. Professional lawyers try to make a very important face at the same time. They point a finger at the law book. They quote some paragraphs, sub-paragraphs, but this is done formally, it is done to correspond to their profession. An adult who goes to an important meeting or for a solemn meeting must wear a strict suit. This costume shows other people’s formal respect. If a person comes in untidy, in pajamas or a sports suit, what will they think of him? That’s how lawyers can’t sit and be silent when clients come to them.

      But both the lawyer and the clients know that traditional people do not live by formal laws. Who wrote these laws? Some tailless monkey! What do you mean, tailless? But in a figurative sense. The authors of the law may be yesterday’s proletarians. Maybe not. But they were learning to have a new status. But in the traditional world, they will first ask, who is your father? And then they’ll see how smart and professional you are. In the beginning, you must be respectful. Sometimes old people use it.

      All traditional people still respect old age. And if they respect particularly old age, let’s say this old man, give him a place in public transport, then they will look at any other root. In the traditional world, it is not this particular old age that is respected, but the former glory and merits. And if there is respect for the past, then all
