Yeah, a matter of what hierarchies. A subordinate expertise is one thing. Like in a cooperative time-sensitive match or... hunt, I guess, there can be a pre-agreed shot caller to defer to in the heat of the moment. Other opinions and tracks are subordinate within its realm*. That's a hierarchy. Giving him the food when you're done or him having sexual access to your sister might also be a hierarchy, but it's a hella different one.
Refusing to mask because the doctors "don't know **** anyway and just want to control us" is rejection of one type of hierarchy in favor of interpreting a different, plausible, hierarchy. Still dumb, in that instance.
*as far as compulsion goes, if you're on a basketball team, or a hunt, and one consistently rejects the pre-agreed subordinate arrangement it's pretty normal to be removed from the cooperative unit. The group needs to decide if the inconsistant cooperator is a net gain, or net negative. They can easily be a net negative, and they may simply be replaced with somebody who is less of an ass. A domineering team captain, for that matter, too.
