Is it OK to discriminate against people who hold political views you think demonstrate a lack of regard for others, in your personal life?
you can mostly just observe smarts and compassion directly, and conditional on those observations, politics will be mostly uninformative about them "i won't date nazis because naziism is evil" is fine, and i don't see the need to confabulate it being about other traits

> "i won't date nazis because naziism is evil" is fine The problem with this is that it encourages unfair discrimination. There are, to a good approximation, no Nazis. So any time this rule gets used, it will be used to exclude or pass over someone for something they aren't.

well, sure, i was hypothesizing that they're actually a nazi. if someone is not a nazi, then it's bad to dislike them for being a nazi

if someone gives every indication of having average intelligence and compassion, and then you find out they're a nazi, it probably means they're a nazi of average intelligence and compassion. so just dislike them for being a nazi instead of for lacking intelligence or compassion

In my opinion political views track altruism in the sense I care about pretty closely. How about using someone's political views to judge their intelligence? The correlations shown in studies are often quite powerful.
