The three axes model in simplified terminology equates to a language barrier between 3 different tribes that avoids cooperative political discourse

Politics in America are treated like a competition of defending and protecting your own beliefs

mia69_1 — 2024-10-13 06:29:32 UTC

There is a lack of cooperation in terms of problem solving in context to political affairs strictly in the United States. Tribes have been established that inconsiderately assert moral superiority over each other.

Coalitional Behavior

Killing uses John Tooby's idea of coalitional behavior to explain the nature, superiority complex each political tribe holds against each other, as Tooby mentions, "the individual mind will make it feel good to think and express content conforming to and flattering to one’s group’s shared beliefs, and feel good attacking and misrepresenting rival groups" (Tooby). Indulgence in this behavior allows one to captivate positivity in their beliefs by totally neglecting outsider thoughts, and by only signaling mutual agreements with fellow believers.

Slow Political Thinking

Kling uses a reference from Daniel Kahneman's book (thinking fast and slow) to explain the differentiating between fast and slow thinking in this political discourse scenario. He prompts slow thinking as effective that may allow individuals to draw meanigful insights about issue from different angles rather than being trapped by one single axes or angle for framing issues.

This idea of falling and staying behind on the three axes model is restricted just towards American Politics, thus a solution like this may not be effective everywhere in the world. Neither is this solution worth applying to old political affairs.

Credibility

Slow political thinking may be a reasonable solution because people who fall under one of the three axes are subject to deliberately interpreting issues from a single viewing angle. However, the three-axes model isn't created with regard to an individual's belief, so it’s possible for these individuals to utilize this approach, as it's more about being open-minded about political issues rather than focusing on one’s political beliefs.

Understand the world as divided by power. The guiding principle of progressivism is to aid the underprivileged and the oppressed. They honor those coming to the defense of the oppressed and criticize those showing passive indifference to social injustice in any form but especially when directed toward groups such as women, minorities, and the poor.

The Conservatives love the moral tradition and are of the view that it secures stability in the society. They judge anything that endangers the order or breaks away from tradition as perilous; they honor those who guard the Western values. They blame anyone who diminishes those values, and that would be dangerous for society.

Libertarians are most concerned with individual rights and freedom. They believe too much governmental control is at play and uplift those individuals who fight on behalf of personal liberty. They criticize any person who would allow the government to take away the freedom of choices from the people.

To the Progressives, Black Lives Matter is a war against racism. The police and society are the oppressors, and the African Americans are the oppressed. Racial injustice must be fought through the protection of the rights of the marginalized.

mia69_1 — 2024-10-18 03:25:37 UTC

To Conservatives, Black Lives Matter is a menace to law and order. Criminal suspects and rowdy protesters jeopardize society, while the police protect order and values.

mia69_1 — 2024-10-18 03:27:35 UTC

Libertarians frame Black Lives Matter as a protest for personal freedom. They criticize police and lawmakers alike-limiting personal rights or using excessive force-emphasizing protection against government overreach with regard to individual rights.
