I must say, I'm more aware of the left. But this is most likely because of my being on the left. The contamination factor is what is so cult=like to me. It's also why I think it will always result in disaster. Purity is an illusion.

Disgust/contamination sensitivity is a key driver of “closed” temperament. It makes evolutionary sense to minimize contact with potential external pathogenic threats. This obviously applies to the bio-genetic but less obviously to the psycho-memetic.
