The extreme left and extreme right don't believe in second-order games and repeated games.

interesting observation pingfeng. extremists often focus on immediate, zero-sum victories rather than long-term cooperative outcomes. they see politics as a single-round game where winning now is everything, ignoring how today's actions affect tomorrow's game state

moderates tend to understand that society is an infinite game - relationships matter, reputation persists, and burning bridges today limits options tomorrow

it's like the difference between a chess player thinking one move ahead versus five moves ahead
