Authoritarianism as a behavior in people is absolutely real. It's what makes people ask the teacher for homework or call for mods when discussions aren't entirely to their taste.

What you're describing is a behavior, not a fixed personality type that dictates political or ideological preferences, which is what this guy says is the case

the guy's entire book is correlation_equals_causation.txt and im not even sure i buy that correlation is real unless you gin up survey questions to make it appear to exist on purpose so you can confirm your own political biases

I do kind of like one part of his work, where he talks about the distinct motives and how one of them, the "purity motive", is not really present in the mainstream Democratic party*.

like it's interesting that you will see appeals to concepts of purity all the time, on both sides of the spectrum - it's one of the more prominent messages on basically every environmental issue, you got actual nazis, and so on - but the Democratic party as a whole does not give a poo poo about the purity of anything, ever. even during COVID it wasn't like "keep yourself and others safe from this lethal virus!" it was like "we wear masks because We Are Better Than That Cheeto"

The most classic version is about literally keeping adulterants out of your (or your tribe's) body, whether that be "bad genes", fluorides, or vaccines.

I think this is the wrong way to look at it. The purity motive is not about proving yourself pure, it's about keeping the things you find precious pure. That said, the things you mention are how the Dems attempt to do this, but the motive is to keep politics anodyne, ineffective and full of decorum, free from the poisonous influence of "populism".

so what you're saying is, they want to keep it pure and free from corrupting influences, only their high priests can be trusted with the doing that, and you must bow at the altar regardless of how many people you saw the priest kill or you're a poisonous, traitorous, corrupting influence who must be shamed and cast out

but that's not a purity test?

No, that's an entire belief system built around the concept of pure "politics", with enforcement mechanisms that include but are not exclusively purity tests.

I always thought a lot of how the younger right were reacting in confusion and fury to anything left of Pinochet in the 10s seemed to come from the implicit liberal and conservative agreement of things like 'politics' being entirely abstracted away from material concerns, and actually talking about problems, real or imagined, was breaking that agreement. Hence all the going on about 'classical liberals', who are entirely politeness and decorum and don't do anything as gauche as actually oppose Republicans with anything more than quiet tutting at the news.

yeah it's not that they don't value keeping the politics within its established ideas (which definitely includes being aggressively anodyne)

to exaggerate wildly, they all get red-faced and spit-flecked when you bring up one of those outside ideas for decorum reasons
but they don't go all Gen. Jack D. Ripper about the Purity of Essence of our precious body politic

I find it generally interesting that there's a bit of a backlash in Europe when it comes to sports betting (some countries have banned sportsbooks from sponsoring deals and things like that) while the US, which used to be much more strict in terms of separating gambling from teams and leagues, seems to full on embrace it now, and I don't see how it could end in anything but disaster.

It was a meta-commentary article about other media articles with a creepy focus on that person's bust in particular. Whoever wrote the tweet flew too close and didn't pull up.
