At least in theory. I might be missing something.

identify with your opponents makes you impure

and will guarantee fail you the purity test

Right.

and they fear it

cuz that test has no re-trys

But here's the idea. Suppose you find a person and want to know where they stand.

if you are deemed impure, you're out

and doubt is all you need to become impure

You start with something small and subtle and work on down and see where you get pushback.

And then eventually you ask if the person you're talking to can summarize without prejudice the opinions of X. Where X is some fairly mainstream right-of-center character.

If they start characterizing them as moral evil...

Wouldn't it undermine both sides if they're all using the same tactics though

You know they aren't completely in the mob, but they aren't an ally

Yes.

And No.

The two sides need not operate in the same way.

Exploiting asymmetries is how you win.

Taking shots at each other always hurts both sides. But the damage need not be equal.

I guess fighting fire with fire stops both sides, huh

It might atleast lead to an armistance.

Or it could do what it did to the Religious Right.

...you don't hear much from the religious right anymore.

But they were a major force in the 80s and 90s

Bur the religious right didn't have this big of a monopoly

And this perfect an ideology

It's pretty easy to show the Bible is stupid

The monopoly is an issue.

The bible is not.

It's pretty nigh impossible to refute a person who refuses what words are

Not everyone actually cares about logic. If anything it's a minority of the population that really cares deeply about internal logic.

the perfect ideology would be a good one

all current ones are flawed

Like for the Christians it was simple

You don't need something completely rational to create a cultural force. And honestly, simpler is usually better.

The Bible contradicted itself multiple times

And God doesn't have evidence

That's easy to prove

Social Justice contradicts itself many times.

The bible has more evidence than you give it credit for.

On the other hand Social justice is so perfect, cos in essence it means nothing

Alot of Old Testament stories do have physical evidence around the Fertile Crescent.

social justice contradicts itself too
