In this episode, we talk about issues in political psychology. We first go into the affective, cognitive, and motivational determinants of political judgment. We talk about political radicalization. We discuss where political values stem from, and how we go from values to ideology. We talk about the psychology of political tolerance. We get into reactionary politics, and ressentiment. Finally, we discuss progressivism and conservatism.
