Perceived consensus drives moral intolerance in a time of identity-driven politics and online bubbles
Briefly

The article discusses how people create norms within social communities and how deviations from these norms can invoke strong reactions. While some behaviors may be accepted as personal expressions, others, particularly those seen as morally deviant, face active opposition. Research reveals that individuals tend to distance themselves from moral transgressors and even condone violence against those with differing moral views. This presents a challenge for diverse societies, as moral disagreements often override the acceptance of varied lifestyles and practices, ultimately fostering exclusion and animosity.
