• Rigid adherence to conventional, middle-class values.
• Submissive, uncritical attitude toward idealised moral authorities of the in-group.
• Opposition to the subjective, the imaginative, the tender-minded.
• Tendency to…condemn, reject, and punish people who violate conventional values.
• The belief in mystical determinants of the individual’s fate….
• Preoccupation with the dominance- submission, strong-weak, leader-follower dimension; identification with power figures….
• Generalized hostility, vilification of the human.
• The
disposition to believe that wild and dangerous things go on in the
world; the projection outwards of unconscious emotional impulses.
• Exaggerated concern with sexual “goings-on.”

A commonplace book: an old-fashioned literary diary for recording interesting items from reading you've done. I use mine to record snippets from reading, conversation and life in general. (The early 2003 entries are from a period some years ago -- before the blog age -- when I tried an online commonplace book as a straight web page.)
