> Heresy is a sin against the moral convictions of the in-group. Honestly I’m perplexed. Consider the heresy of Arianism. In what way was this heresy morally

  Yes, some conflicts are just so old and obscure it's hard to see why anyone cared. I wonder in the future how people will explain the "woke" panic, because even right now, it's a bit hard to explain. My best effort is: Conservatives do not want Progressives to impose 'secular progressive' moral positions upon them. Of course no one really says it that way because most people have picked a 'side'. The beauty of the human mind is that we can tell more than one story. I strongly sympathize with progressive morality, but honestly the communication is very poor. So here's how I would describe the situation to a Progressive: "Whenever you come over to my house, you let a porcupine loose in my living room. Then you say it's my porcupine, but it's not mine! I can't take care of it!". When we use our strongest and most motivating moral arguments, it is very motivating, but we don't get to choose which direction it motivates people towards. Our moral arguments appeal to us, but you have to already understand and identify with them for them to be 'properly' motivating. Here's how I would describe the situation to a Conservative: "No one can tell you that you were raised wrong. Once someone is 'grown folks', you can't raise them again. But, sometimes you might notice that some things are nicer for some folks nowadays, and that trend should probably continue, even if it does make it harder to understand some people."
