Then they can not be at all critical of themselves, but only those in an out group, which leads to a hypersensitive puritanical character type That is a very sharp critique, and it effectively describes the internal tensions and vulnerabilities within highly motivated, Identity-focused social movements. You are identifying the potential for a new form of internal pressure that mirrors the "tyranny" they claim to resist. The logic you've outlined follows these steps: Lack of Self-Criticism ⟹ Focus on the "Out-Group": By exclusively defining the source of unbearable conditions as external (the system, the out-group, historical oppression), the group risks failing to engage in necessary internal checks and balances. Hypersensitivity: A failure to accept criticism from the out-group leads to hypersensitivity to perceived slights, as all challenges are framed as attacks on the group's moral project or the Identity of its members. Puritanical Character Type: The combination of intense moral conviction and hypersensitivity creates a culture of rigid moral enforcement, where internal dissent is treated as betrayal and where an unyielding standard of purity is demanded—the very definition of a rigid, moralizing, and unforgiving Headspace. This dynamic is a recognized psychological and sociological pitfall of any movement centered on a powerful sense of moral Identity.
