According to research by Pew Research Center, most Americans consider majority of other Americans morally evil. USA is the only country in the research where most citizens believe that majority of their own compatriots are evil. What has caused this?https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2026/03/05/in-25-country-survey-americans-especially-likely-to-view-fellow-citizens-as-morally-bad/pr_2026-03-05_international-morality_0_01/
>>18414854>What has caused this?Sampling bias from shitty surveys and retards like (you) committing truth by example fallaciesThis thread will nonetheless get 200+ replies of retards throwing their hat in the ring without any kind of critical analysis of these results.
>>18414854Progressivism becoming the dominant ideology during Obama but especially during Trump's first administration, when they started presenting the right as fascists who cannot be compromised with in any way and who must be destroyed. We were always divided but not so drastically. You could easily have swapped parties with Bush and Clinton back then without too much of a difference ideologically. Not so much nowadays.
>>18414854>most Americans consider majority of other Americans morally evil.53% isn't a majority anon, it's a plurality >>18414858also this, I especially like the notice at the bottom>Those who did not answer are not shown.Yeah no shit a survey like this is going to favor one of two extremes
>>18414854When things quickly get worse and the establishment fails to fix anything, people move to extremes. America is a gigantic country too, so it's way more vulnerable to this.
>>18414873>people move to extremes.This isn't a red vs blue thing anon, the other "extreme" is people viewing their countrymen favorably.
>>18414876If you're on one end of the extreme you're going to view the other end as evil.
>>18414877But you're also going to view people on your extreme as good, so it's not actually going to say anything useful beyond people having political biases and both sides would naturally cancel eachother out
>>18414854I genuinely want to know the mentality of the people who answered "very bad" on here>yes, I think the literally millions of people living in my country including my neighbors are shitty peopleI'm not just talking the US I'm talking just anyone in general who responded to this joke of a survey, it's one thing to not agree with everyone but if you think everyone around you is a shitty person, then maybe you're the problem

>>18414854>side AChild groomingChild castrationWont arrest violent criminalsReleases murderers on streetsRacist>side BDeports poor migrants seeking better lifeDoesn't support the right to modify their own bodyDoesnt forgive criminalsWants to punish the poor
>>18414976>side A>grooms children>side B>abuses childrenVirtuous circle, innit?
>>18414981Child grooming and castration is an partisan issue.Child abuse is universal. Thats why I didn't include one side breathing air, eating food, taking a dump, driving car, etc
>>18414854First-past-the-post.
>>18414871>53% isn't a majority anon, it's a pluralityWhat? It's a majority you retard.
>>18414957Polling consistently shows that right-wingers more tolerant of liberals than the other way around, liberals are the ones more supportive of severing relationships including with family over politics.
>>18414871>53% isn't a majority anonbased retard
>>18414871a plurality is the most among more than 2.Like 40% is plurality among two other groups of 30%.a majority is over half.so 51% relative to 49% or 51% relative to 29% and 20%.
>>18414878>view people on your extreme as good,most Americans do not think other people are on their "side" because of how isolated and atomized American society has become.Everyone is an individual and anyone who isnt identical to you is an "other".obviously people have friends and family and others they like, but it must be recognized there is no party for "the good side" in the mind of Americans, its competing factions of greater and lesser evils.
>>18414873>extremesbut these results aren't really that extreme, it's just between somewhat good and somewhat bad. Compare with Turkey for example just underneath it, and for some reason they clearly have a larger share of people who think their fellow countrymen are "very bad" people
>>18415358>for some reason they clearly have a larger share of people who think their fellow countrymen are "very bad" peopleIt's probably buttblasted Kurds
According to the Pew Research Survey that OP is referring to>However, this partisan pattern is not unique to the U.S. In more than half of the countries surveyed, people who don’t support the governing party are particularly likely to view their fellow citizens as immoral.The same exact Survey pointed out that different countries have widely varying moral views on issues such as Homosexuality, Gambling, and extramarital affairs, which do not necessarily align with people's views on their fellow countrymen. The biggest takeway if anything is that these results are largely driven by politics above all else. And finally, I leave you with this statement by the same survey>Democrats and independents who lean toward the Democratic Party are much more likely than Republicans and Republican leaners to rate fellow Americans as morally and ethically bad (60% vs. 46%). You can interpret this in two ways, either Democrats are the ones who are primarily the most guilty of division in America, or that their views have shifted negatively as a result of Republicans having taken control of the White House and Senate and they're just being sore losers.
>>18415414Even in years where Democrats are in power they are polled as less tolerant of opposing political views.
>>18415417I think this might be because they're more moralist compared to Republicans. Republicans don't grandstand on morality as much as Democrats do, even the biggest virtue signalling Republicans admit that they're more driven by pragmatism than ethics, whereas Democrats assert themselves as morally righteous (equality, pro-immigrant and all that jazz), and so while Republicans see Democrats as more misguided, Democrats just see Republicans as evil
>>18415350>Everyone is an individual and anyone who isnt identical to you is an "other".obviously people have friends and family and others they like, but it must be recognized there is no party for "the good side"And that's normal. The opposite is bugmen mindset.
>>18415421A crucial aspect is that religious people view mankind as fallen. It means that they support more restrictive social norms, but at the same time they are less judgemental.

>>18414854>Americans distrust each otherThis was to be expected in a country built on radical individualism, greed and dog-eat-dog mentality (product of Calvinist "only the rich have Paradise guaranteed" theology).You can't build a functioning nation like that. A nation needs roots, certain social cohesion, cultural homogeneity and a "national mythology" which is deeper than worshiping a paper written by men who betrayed their compatriots. It must not be a corporation in which everyone is replaceable by the next wave of cheap labor and most people are double citizens (with X or Y country).
>>18414854America has several parallel societies and encourages an individualistic outlook.
>>18414854Low trust brown society that worships money more than human life? Yeah, I’d consider the majority of my fellow citizens in such a place to be evil too.
