Great post. It hits on three themes I’ve covered in the past:
— The reason I use the term “leftoid” to describe them is that I can know exactly what they will believe on ten other topics just by knowing their belief on one topic. The networked belief system of leftoids is impressive in its scope and its faithfulness to s single core motivating ideology (equalism, anti-white-ism), but more impressive in how religiously they take their belief&opinion cues from mass jmedia. Leftoids truly are ciphers into which jewish value system algorithms and virtue signaling code are programmed and executed with flawlessly predictable precision.
— As Haidt’s research into liberal and conservative morality showed, liberals place almost all their moral emphasis on two dimensions: fairness and harm. Conservatives emphasize five (now six) moral dimensions equally, which means that conservatives have a healthier and more diverse “balanced” inner moral compass that makes them harder to understand to liberals, who can barely conceptualize any morality that doesn’t focus solely on fairness and harm.
— Religious fanaticism is strongest right before there is a crisis of faith. Zealotry is the howl of someone losing their religion; it’s the noise that drowns out the persistent whisper of self-doubt and intimidates heretics who amplify that whisper.
