dominance
Dominance is the noble pastime of luring another's will into one's private garden and slamming the gate at whim. Often, even kindness and empathy are just mutations of the craving to fold all under one's own rules. Chains disguised as generosity wield more coercion than blades of defiance. Dominators frequently justify their rule as self-preservation, wrapping their words around others like a silken noose.
