> if you disagree with me on the other stuff
replyThis part is too broad.
Hierarchical values are just that. Not wholesale. We call that nonsense, e.g. I believe pigs can fly, therefore the sky is red. They are making an ontological error.
For a Christian, a top value in their moral hierarchy would be rooted in Jesus' famous commandment: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind." Now, if you're an atheist, this might be nonsense to you. You might not believe that Jesus was resurrected or that God even exists. To you, these are fundamentally irrational statements ("pigs can fly," etc.). Under your system, if you were an atheist and your opposition was a Christian, you could never possibly build a coalition because there's a disagreement at the top of the moral value hierarchy.
replyBut this seems wrong because people of different creeds and value systems do stuff together all the time. Or am I misunderstanding your point?
> So how do you solve that? Because it seems that you can't.
replyBy design. Activists and left-wingers in general enjoy losing and being underdogs and infighting constantly
Funny, how those in a hierarchical system political system struggle so much to understand, hierarchy.
replyIt's per the usual for extremist ideologies, chock full of hypocrisy and nonsense.
Note that, I have no problem with conservative or liberal value systems...
I don't know, I've noticed this in the right as well. I think there's always some degree of purity-testing to any community, though I agree there is more on the current (radical?) progressive end than average.
