Punching Nazis: The Plan To End The Republican Party Excerpt Version | Page 16
Moral Foundation Theory has limits and criticisms . However , for our purposes , we can look at these key areas :
Fairness / Reciprocity / Cheating Purity / Sanctity / Desecration / Degradation Loyalty / Betrayal Respect for authority / Subversion Care / Harm Liberty / Oppression
These differences in our brains and our moral concerns lead to differences in our values . Liberals tend to lean toward a utilitarian value system , which says that we ought to act in a way that maximizes happiness for the greatest number of people . Conservatives , on the other hand , favor what ' s called a Protected Value System . This way of thinking creates nonnegotiable values , where morality is not determined by the outcome or consequences of the action , but rather by whether the thing is right or wrong on its own . Protected values resist trade-offs with other values and are , in a sense , absolute .
These differences , once understood and acted on by the Left , place conservatives at a natural and inescapable disadvantage .
