Ideological Puritanism

Ideological Puritanism refers to a strict adherence to certain moral or political beliefs, often emphasizing purity and moral righteousness. It involves judging others based on these standards and advocating for the suppression or elimination of behaviors or ideas seen as immoral or corrupt. This mindset tends to prioritize moral integrity over tolerance, sometimes leading to social intolerance, censorship, or censorship of dissenting opinions. While rooted in a desire for moral clarity, it can result in rigid thinking that dismisses complexity or differing perspectives, potentially fostering social division and intolerance.
