1162 - 5 key ‘moral triggers’ polarize politics

Yes politics on a Saturday. I can't help it. I found this LINK yesterday. It talks about how you relate to other people with a focus on politics.

From the article -

In a broad sense, they boil down to:
Harm/care:
Fairness/reciprocity:
Ingroup/loyalty:
Authority/respect:
Purity/sanctity:

And also this -

"If I'm a liberal I can go to MSNBC, I listen to NPR, read liberal magazines, I read the Huffington Post," Ditto said. "If I'm a conservative, I go to Fox News, I read Michelle Malkin, I listen to Rush Limbaugh.

"The two sides come in and they just fundamentally don't agree on even the most basic facts, because they want to believe certain things, and they're reinforced [by the media]" Ditto said.

There is also an empathy quiz link in the article. But I also found this link to a whole bunch of quizzes. Actually this article links to lots of other articles which link to .... lots of other articles. You can get lost in links really fast.
