Good point. Thinking….

Do they purity spiral internally or only externally? While the right purity spirals internally? Are they loyal (bear costs over time) or devoted (only in time)?

Left’s moral intuition is narrow (harm-care, fairness-equality), and almost exclusive. Right’s moral intuition is broad ( adding liberty-reciprocity, order-hierarchy, loyalty-responsibility, sacred-purity-disgust).

So, the right distributes it’s goals from the libertarian to the authoritarian seeking responsibility by different means exacerbated by self overconfidence in the absence of hierarchy producing factions. The left concentrates it’s goals on evasion of responsibility and submits to the herd eliminating the need for hierarchy, limiting factions.

The right seeks a quick solution (problem solving) the left uses continuous undermining (basically nagging).
