In Chapter 8, we consider how sociopolitical ideological convictions impact on how social members such as political activists use language outside political institutions. Due to the popularity of social media, such non-institutionalised language use is becoming important and needs to be studied on a par with institutionalised political language use. Haidt insightfully argued that sociopolitical ideologies manifested through political conviction divide social members, and we believe that it is an important task for the pragmatician to capture this global dividing effect with the aid of strictly linguistic evidence. As a case study, we examine a clash between a radical animal rights protester and the organisers of a children’s party featured in social media. We show that the organisers of the party and the protester put moral oughts representing sociopolitical ideological convictions against one another in an irreconcilable way. Due to this irreconcilability, in their interaction they completely lack alignment with each other. In this case study, we also follow a contrastive view, by considering how clashes driven by sociopolitical convictions differ from more ‘mundane’ clashes.
