Just some theories on the left.
Tribalism has existed for 1000s of years and in the human subconscious is valid, is intersectionalism the new tribalism, the subconscious asserting itself?
The right is more from the concsious mind, higher brain, intellect, logic, reasoning which is a new and fragile development. Technological progress is the outcome of the right, but also fairness (equal opportunity) and democracy, which are also logical.
The right generally achieves its goals thru the application of intellect.
Order thru an agreed set of rules that have empirical evidence of success, the form the resulting society takes is not completely predictable but the method of getting there is understood.
The left is concerned with personal happiness (hate speech legislation for instance is about making sure people dont get upset). Fairness is seen by the left as equal outcome, which again is aimed at everyone being happy. They achieve their goals thru manipulating emotions thru propoganda (the press and education system) and the raw power of government. If you replace the press/education system with the church, and the government with a monarchy or dictate of a tribal council, you end up with the way humanity has lived for 1000s of years, the ancient ways of the subconscious.
Order thru force of will. The outcome is defined and method are known, this does give more certainty which is one of its major appeals, especially when the outcome is defined as something most people want, ie. happiness.
