They want right-wing speech to be protected on campus and people protesting genocide to be ground under. Some people call this hypocrisy, but it's much more sinister than that. These double standards are about HIERARCHY. They're about how the right wants to order the world.

By “the right” you mean the power structure. This is a bipartisan effort. Crushing dissent is one of only two issues that unite both parties.

Those kinds of things historically don't work out very well for the people who set that shit up, but the modern Right seems to be all about "Let's speed-run every terrible idea humans ever came up with, and hope something works out differently this time."

Frank Wilhoite* had it right:
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:
There must be in-groups whom the law protectes but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
*not Frank Wilhoite the political scientist.

I sort of agree, but don't feel this gets at the truth of it quite. Can't put my finger on it. Less conspiratorial, more ... privileged?

It's about who gets to do harm and who harm can be visited upon without consequence. That's what they are outlining when they demand "protection" for some and violence against others. They are outlining the world they want, including who should be victimized at will.

As with most things right wingers want, the hierarchy they want is based on Patriarchy.

Can't be a hypocrite (the GOP runs on hypocrisy) without having or being easily capable of having double standards. (GOP policies and such are all directed to benefiting an elite at the cost of making the majority of peoples' lives worse. Healthcare for an example.)

I would be a lot more sympathetic if just once I would hear the protesters denounce the agitators in their midst, and all the people that cheered and/or excused the rape and murder that precipitated this whole thing. There are a lot of useful idiots on campus.

Yep. It ain't hypocrisy, because what they've always wanted is very consistent. What we think is hypocrisy is just outright lying about what they actually want.

Yup, what’s that line about them not wanting to be told what to do but having the right to tell others what to do?

Yep. There isn’t a lot of intellectual consistency on the right, but the demand for hierarchy is the core motivation for almost everything they do and say.
