for liberals, morality is largely a matter of three values: caring for the weak, fairness and liberty. Conservatives share those concerns (although they think of fairness and liberty differently) and add three others: loyalty, respect for authority and sanctity.

In his research, Haidt and his colleagues refer to the latter three values as “binding values”, as they bind together people into larger groups.


These foundations are Ingroup/loyalty (supporting moral obligations of patriotism and “us vs. them” thinking); Authority/respect (including concerns about social order and the importance of traditions and role-based duties in maintaining that order) and Purity/sanctity (including concerns about treating the body as a temple and living in a higher, more “divine” way, versus a baser, more carnal way).


So when starting their "research" they basically define RWNs as higher forms of life and then find that progressives are deficient!
And of course Fisted drags his knuckles up to the material and gulps their Kool Aid without understanding the words he reads.

They have started to study how liberals and conservative perceive each other. The finding was not a shock to conservatives and generated outrage with liberals. It seems that conservatives are very good at perceiving the truth about liberals, or at least predicting the liberal response to an issue. Liberals on the other hand are almost always wrong about what conservatives think and feel about an issue. In other worse one side believes in facts and the other in stereotypes.

I read this and this word sprang instantly to mind, "deranged". As a liberal you believe what you want to believe and no amount of facts will ever change that. Hang the White-Hispanic, no need to study the evidence. Perhaps I’m wrong but you could never prove it by the liberal posts.

Anyone who disagrees with me is a liberal, and therefore a liar and scumbag.

I’m not saying Tych2 is wrong. In fact he is 100% correct. I’m the conservative version of a liberal or at least use liberal tactics against them. All I did was explain how I gave up years ago and decided this was a lot more fun than trying to reason with unreasonable people. That is not an excuse, it is my reason for using liberal tactics. My hope was that seeing me use their tactics would make them wake up to what they were doing. Again, unreasoned hope on my part. After that it just became habit.

This study shows one of the reason liberals are the way they are. In their eyes conservatives really do hate the poor and love the rich. We understand their ignorance of the issues, and that down they really don’t think their policy’s cause misery and death. We just don’t understand why they stick to them after they have done nothing but cause misery and death. They are not evil people, but in the long run intent does not matter to the people they harm.
