This also ties into a salient theory that I remember
@poetix sharing here, which as I recall associated neuroticism with liberals and paranoia with conservatives, almost like a dualistic model of anxiety. I'm extrapolating here, but the paranoia would be an externalization, anxiously overthinking the world around you, and neuroticism would be more of an internalization, anxiously overthinking oneself.
Poetix made a matrix with neuroticism/paranoia as one binary axis, and based/cucked as the other. EG cucked would be, say, an overwillingness to wear a mask, and based would be an underwillingness, a refusal to concede one's "liberties" anymore than absolutely necessary.
