Daddy is on top of the hierarchy

Today—unsurprisingly—the word “daddy” has finally entered the lexicon.

This mode of thinking is a subtle acknowledgment of the true hierarchy.

By objective measures, the United States sits at the top of that hierarchy—something social engineers have long tried to invert or “save face” on.

Only when you acknowledge the hierarchy—especially within a transactional relationship—can you truly understand how to conduct yourself.

It should come as no surprise, then, that NATO has finally agreed to pay its fair share.

NATO: The Overly Expensive Partner

NATO is like that high-maintenance partner who always asks for “just a little bit more.” For years, she relied on the U.S. to pick up the tab for security while her other suitors (NATO members) barely contributed their fair share. Case in point: while NATO countries were supposed to spend 2% of their GDP on defense, many fell short. Meanwhile, the U.S. poured $822 billion into defense in 2022—nearly double what the next 14 nations combined managed to spend.

Now, the U.S. is finally putting his foot down: “You want protection? Start paying your half!” It’s like telling the her, “We’re splitting the check from now on.”
