I did very much like "The Righteous Mind" by Jonathan Haidt, which mentions this WEIRDness on several occasions to make a distinction so he is able to speak about a certain cluster of political and social environments today. The book actually tries to draw more evidence-based claims to explain some of our core political differences as rooted in psychological differences that are rarely salient to us, let alone mutable. It also makes a very compelling case for trying to understand and empathize with core values that people on different sides of the political spectrum fight for, which is especially convincing if we accept that these values are not always the result of a conscious decision. They rarely are the result of something egocentric like selfishness but rather the result of how we prioritize different parts of society, and some balance is probably desirable between opposing views here.
