I think bootlicking is bowing down to the (unreasonable, amoral or unethical) demands of someone who considers themselves the master or owner of other people whether that’s you or someone else, and that this can take many forms and have many motivations, precisely none of which are acceptable or excusable. I cannot think of a single form of it that has been characteristic of my life, and so I’d kindly ask you to use that term for someone who deserves it instead of me. I suggest the nearest MAGA adherent or Russian. Thanks.
That’s what you think boot licking is?
