hostilarchy (n) - a system of rule by people whose unreflected, reactionary, anxiety-based aggression has been normalized, especially through existing and pervasive ageism, sexism, racism, ableism, classism, colonialism and other forms of oppression
(Latin 'hostilia' = 'aggression' + Greek 'arkhia' = leadership, rule, government)

Hostilarchy can be mapped within other social hierarchies, such that 'hostilarchs' ignore or neglect their own e.g. gerontarchical, patriarchal, white-supremacist, ableist, etc. behaviour(s).
Hostilarchy operates through normative relations of domination, such that hostilarchs perceive themselves as (or feel they should be) the 'top', 'dominant', 'alpha', etc. in familial, sexual, political, economic and other social relationships or contexts
