Edmund Burke Sublime
Hate being made to feel small?
Or unable to put up with being humbled, or reminded of our own insignificance, thus getting affronted and resentful?

It's metaphor intends to draw parallels and comparisons to the exploitation of nature, slavery, colonialism, and the monstrosity of blind global capitalism alone.
