Purity as a Double-Edged Ideal The pursuit of purity often begins as a noble ambition: clarity of values, integrity of action, and resistance to corruption. But purity is fragile—it quickly becomes rigid.

• Moral Absolutism: Communities start enforcing strict boundaries of who is “in” and who is “out.”
• Exile of the Imperfect: Allies who diverge even slightly are treated as traitors. “You’re either fully aligned, or you’re the enemy.”
• Weaponization: Purity tests shift from principles to power tools, reinforcing hierarchies within movements.

What starts as a way to protect solidarity ends up undermining it.
