Moral Foundations of the Alt-Right

So I was exploring Jonathan Haidt's theory of Moral Foundations and came across an anomaly because my moral foundation score did not line up with any that he provided. I should say that I am a National Socialist 14/88. His theory is based on the idea that there are 6 moral foundations that underlie human behavior, namely harm, fairness, liberty, loyalty, authority, and purity. Liberals primarily are focused on harm and fairness and liberty to a lesser extent, conservatives are focused on all six relatively equally, and libertarians/autists are concerned exclusively with liberty. Where does National Socialism fit in? I scored low on harm and fairness, high on loyalty, authority, and purity, and if the test provided a score for liberty I can assure you I would have chosen duty over it. See pic 1 for the scores from yourmorals.org. Now Haidt is a liberal who, upon realizing that conservatives had a worldview that was closer to human nature, became a centrist. He's still blue-pilled, as most of the guys doing psych research are (side note, I'm studying neuroscience which is why I'm interested in moral psychology).

There are people like on theindependentwhig.com/2015/03/09/this-explains-and-changes-everything/ who are able to see that conservatives are superior to liberals because they understand human nature better, but he's still unable to go from his position to ethnocentrism, calling them racists, evil, and such. He says that "many believe that liberals and conservatives are equally right/wrong and insightful/blind about human nature and each other, just in different ways. This idea is the fundamental assumption – the 'given' that 'everybody knows' – often unwritten or unspoken, upon which seemingly all political discussion rests. It’s the reason that so many people think compromise is an unalloyed good and the bridge across the political divide; since both sides get some things right and some things wrong, then the obvious solution to practically any partisan disagreement is for both sides to meet in the middle.

The belief represented by the above images and summarized in the above paragraph is wrong. And because it is wrong it is a roadblock that prevents a truer, deeper, understanding of the political divide, which in turn prevents us from seeing and implementing more effective ways to ameliorate problems associated with it."

It's as if liberals are deaf and blind, and conservatives can hear but not see. I believe National Socialism is a worldview that can see and hear, and thus it is the most fit to rule since it understands the most about human nature.

I edited an image in Haidt's book, pic 2, to accomodate the Alt-Right's beliefs
I agree, if you want to edit the provided images please go ahead, though I think this version is more normie-friendly. If I'm being a PR fag, go ahead and call me out on it.

THIS IS THE MAIN REASON FOR THIS POST

After you explain that the our system is the most moral ideology due to human nature, then you can tell them about National Socialism. Basically we're just Alt-Right+no/suppressed degeneracy+ethnocentrism. This is an easy way to explain what we believe, how what we believe differs from the competitors, and how our focus on survival and strength as based on Nietzsche is why our system is morally superior. If your civilization dies, it doesn't matter how much equality or care or fairness you had, your values are gone, that's why survival should be the top priority. Most of us already know most of this, but this should help academics and other rationals, especially scientists and engineers, to join our cause.

I lowered liberty, fairness, and care, as we focus more on duty for the first and the second two are reserved for the in-group. I ranked loyalty the highest, then authority, then sanctity, though they're all high. I'm not sure which should be the highest foundation or if it really matters. You guys can tell me what you think. As for our sacred value, I said it was survival and prosperity for our group. If you have a better sacred value please suggest it.

An updated political spectrum I got from theindependentwhig.com/2012/11/15/toward-a-more-accurate-political-spectrum/ is in pic 3, though it's clear the author takes a preference toward the "Balanced" center. It's not perfect but I think he gets the general idea pretty right. If some artfag wants to make it look nice for propaganda purposes go ahead.

The moral value scores extended for what I expect National Socialism to be is in pic 4. Another major flaw with the way of representing this information is that I care very much about my in-group and want fairness amongst my in-group, but I'm okay with my in-group being unfair or harming other groups that are my enemies. Thus I would add ethnocentrism as another moral foundation.

I think it's important to get some of this information circulating into the heads of normalfags, and especially the thinkers that actually influence movements.

National socialism cannot be judged by standard modern moral framework. It is "beyond good and evil" so to speak. Pure politics.

then what value does it have?

He's referring to Nietzsche, acting in accordance with nature is not good or bad, it just is.


Thanks, I'll do that.

To answer your question, the value in it is that it is the worldview most aligned with biology. The ideology which best understands nature is best fit to lead the people.

Another reason I want to get this out is that
getting people like Haidt to seriously understand and publicize this work is one of the keys to our acceptance as an intellectual movement

This expands Haidt's theory to an additional aspect he does not consider because he is stuck within the liberal-conservative dialectic. Too often I hear about "stupid Trump supporters and racists". That needs to change, and it needs to change fast.

The theory maps over to r/K selection. Human psychological studies regarding r/K selection and subgroups of populations are scarce. The idea from anonymousconservative.com is that r's are liberals and K's are conservatives, but it would more accurately be that K's are National Socialists and conservatives are an intermediary. One of my goals will be to get more of these studies done in humans, because as a K-selected species, showing that an ideology is more K-selected and thus would fit better with our biological nature would BTFO leftists forever. All of the people working in these fields are leftists, so I think there's a lot of room for new ideas.

You are wrong with what you propose the moral foundations of NatSoc to be. Better stated, if you are right NatSoc is shit.

The question Haidt uses to check for the morals are based in liberalism.

Care/ Harm isn't as small as you make it out to be for NatSoc. Of course in times of war it goes down, it has to. But NatSoc was big on caring for animals and nature. Also Lebensborn, caring for single mothers and their children can be traced back to care/ harm.

Also fairness and oppression aren't small either. Just look up what NatSoc did to rapists in their own army.

I agree, I'm saying that they are small for outgroups, which the test does not distinguish between. Care/Harm would be high for your people, as would fairness and oppression, while they would be lower for other people.

K means caring for your children so much that you protect them from degeneracy and spend long years to raise them. It doesn't fit a tiny care/ harm moral pillar.

r means not giving a shit about your offspring after you farted them out. Liberals do not care more, they just pretend to care more. Virtue signaling is the game. True r is the animals flooding Europe right now. Those things threaten to kill their offspring to get their way, leave their offspring alone at a pharmacy and tell the people around "they are your problem now".

I used a tiny care/harm pillar to distinguish NatSoc from the cuckservatives, though they are similar, NatSoc overall cares about the harm and fairness of a smaller number of people, while cuckservatives care about everybody. If you think there's a better way to represent it let me know, because I couldn't think of anything else.

...

Interesting. I got similar results as you. Is there any relevant texts that can help me develop my views further? I've only been at this stuff for a year and while I am attempting to educate myself I am not sure if I am going the correct direction.

Another thing I think you missed is that the size of the columns doesn't necessarily mean you care more or less, it's meant to compare where you're placing moral weight when determining whether a decision is right. If you have a higher sanctity than fairness for example, you would be more likely to oppose gay marriage and other types of degeneracy, but that doesn't mean you would tolerate cheaters more than a liberal. It's meant for comparisons when multiple different values are at stake in a decision.

That r/K book is selection bias nonsense.

Why don't you go ask Alex Jones and the Alt-Kike then? Because that's not Holla Forums you motherfucker

The prediction power of r/K is incredibly high. Which makes it a damn fine theory.

Where do I take this test?

Right and Wrong you Jew worshiping slave. Once you go beyond good and evil you know right from wrong.

Fuck your "slave morals"

yourmorals.org in the OP

probably on infowars. You can also buy a filter and a Milo t-shirt
alt-kike

I agree, we need more broad studies. I'm skeptical of many of its claims but I see its potential.


The r/K selection book, which admittedly is not comprehensive and needs much more research, is The Evolutionary Psychology Behind Politics: How Conservatism and Liberalism Evolved Within Humans. I don't have a download for that one, sorry.

Haidt's book is The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion

I know I'm being a PR fag

The test is the Moral Foundations test, you'll need to sign up with an email, I just used a fake one.

You don't belong here.

I hope Greg's smart enough to publish that lump of shit before the alt-right expires after the election.

Except it isn't, and he doesn't even use the theory correctly.

So you don't understand what he is writing.

Before I read any of this I want to state:
WE ARE NOT THE ALT-RIGHT

This.

I don't know where you're from friend, but we do not recognize our movement as apart of the alt-right.

We strictly refuse this definition, as it is used to describe us.

The way he uses the theory is odd because normally the theory is used to compare species, not individuals within a species. However, because each species evolved from others that would comparatively be placed in a different location on the r/K spectrum, it stands to reason that some individuals within each species will be better suited to K-selection while other individuals will be better suited to r-selection. Liberals, Conservatives, and Ethnonationalists/NatSocs seem to each be better suited to different selection pressures, which is why the author assigns them to the r/K spectrum.

Good essay, thanks for posting.

All manner of people are drawn to right-wing politics. Different demographics at different rates, but all to some degree.

The "alt-right" is the football jocks to our computer nerds. We don't really want anything to do with each other, we have totally incompatible styles, but circumstances have brought us together. We go to the same school, so to say.

There are a lot of us in the alt right. Remember to get in a lab as soon as fucking possible.

Haidt also had an article about nationalism vs. globalism which is basically trying to get globalist readers to be a little more sympathetic to the nationalist perspective:

If you must use convoluted moralistic arguments to justify policies which promote the preservation of the Europeans race, then you have already lost the debate.

That's where it's wrong. There are 14 of them.

Wrong, get OUT of the lab, it's a dead end - crappy, overspecialized skill sets, crappy pay. Besides, contemproary neuroscience is shaky as fuck, most of the oh-so magical and colourful fMRI studies are worthless and will get thrown out.

this is terrible and you're a retard. why not try actually learning some philosophy?

this
holy shit that is the most pseudo-scientific garbage I've ever seen. kill yourself

nice sarcasm. 10/10

That's where you're wrong.

There's 88 of them.

The r/K Selection book by user Conservative is in the Holla Forums books packs:
mega.nz/#F!B4dB2SzQ!h_pMC30v2a_y31iD0dy0sg

There's a critique of the idea of applying r/K selection to humans (apparently evolutionary biologists don't think it should be applied to any large mammals) at web.archive.org/web/20160130011321/http://scholarship.sha.cornell.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1327&context=articles , see the section "Selection Scenario for Race Differences in r and K" which says:

Idiotic spectrum

Your shit is all fucked up and retarded.

Liberals – Destroy all things that are strong, beautiful, unique and healthy. Embrace sickness, degeneracy and failure.

Alt-Right – Embrace health, strength, uniqueness and beauty. Shun sickness, degeneracy and failure.

There are really no ethics to it.

That's what ethics are you bellend.
