How to tell if you’re a Puritan? If you can’t easily think of a single thing the other side may be correct on, that’s you. Or if you think it’s pointless — or even demeaning — to attempt to appeal to swing voters? Also you.
From what I've seen, although there is puritanism on both left and right, there is more on the left. I think the reason is that when people on the right want to be religious zealots about something they have actual religions, whereas on the left politics *is* their religion.
Disagree with this. The most obvious case is with masks and how the pandemic has ravaged conservative leadership due to the puritan dismissal of the severity of the pandemic.
When the left is puritan about something, the most obvious issue is about aestheticism, not necessarily about underlying validity. 1. Is rising inequality a worrying problem... yes. And Sam Harris(a moderate) tackled this as early as 2011.https://samharris.org/how-rich-is-too-rich/ …
Yes, I’ve started to notice that more and more too (which as a left-leaning person is horrifying to admit). Although there’s def sampling bias on twitter, I’ve found the most spiteful vitriol & absolutism comes from that direction. It’s embarrassing & self-defeatist.
There is a terrible mistake to think that politics is divided between left and right. "The left" is one single political ideology, while "the right" is every one among a huge variety of political ideologies, PLUS the absence of political ideologies.
