I don’t think this is quite the same thing. Most people actually don’t want to have to apply moral thought to every single aspect of their lives, it’s extenuating. The ones who are willing to, and try to push this mindset on others, are often singularly focused. Yes, bundling people and ideas in broad clusters is itself a common simplification we gravitate towards as a way to understand the world, but that does not prevent people from still being perfectly willing to accept some activities as fundamentally non-political.
I am not following the context of the comment above. Help me understand the connection? The main purpose of my comment above was to disagree with this sentence two levels up:
The frenzy to couple everything into a single tangle of complexity is driven by the misunderstanding that complacency is the only reason why your ideology is not the winning one
… in particular, I don’t think it captures the dominant driver of “coupling” or “bundling”.
Does the comment one level up above disagree with my claims? I’m not following the connection.
