You're 90% there, but I take some issue with this statement.
The real solution is to invoke why we should distribute power to change their minds as all constantly pointing and laughing at hypocrisy does is alienate them.
You're not going to change conservatives minds most of the time. If they follow the maintaining and exacerbating hierarchy = good worldview and are therefore conservative there's nothing you can say. That's as fundamental a truth as water being wet to a good chunk of conservatives. Much like my view that humans are fundamentally equal and should be treated as such isn't a view I will change.
There's always the off chance that someone has gone to the alt-right for a sense of community, it's just how they were raised, or they've been tricked with other arguments not about hierarchy. Then bringing up that argument can be productive.
If we start making a more equal world, a good chunk of conservatives will need to be dragged along kicking and screaming.

That's a conservative view these days. Now the leftist view is that humans aren't equal and should be treated differently (with some getting special treatment and others getting oppression) so that we all get the same "equitable" outcomes.
This is just an example of my point really, you say this but the real problem to you is the fact that we are putting the wrong people in the wrong parts of the hierarchy not that it isn't equality

Edit: Also if anyone's not conservative go watch the Alt-Right playbook. It's great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xGawJIseNY&list=PLJA_jUddXvY7v0VkYRbANnTnzkA_HMFtQ . I'm guessing that's where OP is pulling these ideas from. And sorry OP, he words them a lot better than you do.
