I honestly think that the progressive movement increasingly values Loyalty (i.e. you’re not a real minority if you’re politically conservative) and Sanctity ( saying the N-word or wearing blackface make white people “unclean” in a way that cannot fully be explained by the Care/Harm framework), so if anything I think Haidt’s Moral Foundations theory is more right than even Haidt suspected, the taboos and tribes of the Left are simply still being defined.
Interesting, yeah. That sounds at least partly right to me, though I don’t know enough about moral foundations theory or current progressive discourse to have a strong take on how much I believe in this vs. other explanations for the observations you’ve described.
