I really like this breakdown. I do think the first item can be generalized:
usually automatically activated bias has a feeling attached to it
since positive-affect feelings like righteousness are also useful hooks.
You’re right, they don’t even need to be strong emotions: like in the case of positive-affect induced biases building incrementally over time, as in the affective death spirals.
