Hmmmm. I think it has something to do with his idea of Western Civilisation. (Not Dostoyevsky for sure, probably not Mozart, definitely Locke.) So white, male and Christian? Not like Trump. Abbott wanted to become a priest of the muscular Catholic sort. Dominionist, yes. God gave us this world to subdue? (I'm trying to be fair.) God would not let us perish? (But did he not destroy the world once, or was it thrice?)
Hierarchy? White Christians (men first) at the top, lesser breeds without the law further down?
You couldn't make this stuff up.
