Humans are part of nature. Dogs have different hierarchies than humans. All of the universe is a hierarchy of various sorts. Lucky for us there are multiple hierarchies. The janitor at work is a Judo black belt and kicks ass when training at the dojo.
[edit to add] Burke predicted what would happen with the breakdown of legitimate authority in France, in effect, it was the mob, or anarchy. A lot of people died. You are very unknowledgeable about history.
The state of humans in an anarchy is a war of all against all. Read your Hobbes, he's right on that at least.

You don't live in "nature" you live above it in an asphalt jungle. Humans have the ability to articulate their thoughts into words animals do not possess this ability, you are using what is called a false dichotomy as an argument.
Do you breathe and eat? Yes. Then you live in nature.
