Philosophy

It's really not. That's capitalist propaganda.

For example, you can have counterculture groups where that kind of behavior is discouraged rather than embraced. Which is not to say that it's impossible for something like this to happen in those groups (for someone with authoritarian desires to get what they want) but the fact that they're consistently rewarded for it in our modern world is not human nature. It's the world we built.

See: psychopathic/antisocial (in the modern, psychological diagnostic sense) tendencies being overrepresented at the top of authority structures.

As long as we, as a society, highly value those authoritarian modes of organization we're going to be rewarding people for this behavior.
