I object. If more people in the US subscribed to this idea of political toleration where would the rest of the world find its entertainment? You lot are going to have to start producing good music and films again if you’re going to talk like that.
You are just flat out WRONG! let me gather some scientific studies, site some online sources that own the Truth, document some legal cases that prove my point and fill my wheelbarrow full of monkey shit to meet you on fb tomorrow morning at dawn for our old western standoff to settle this matter. 🤣
I like safety and peace and freedom. And finding common ground. Have been asking people what matters to them for a while. Those are common shared values. Another standout that i hear often and can relate to is meaning and purpose or being of value in some way.
Yeah...sounds like FB is back in business for political shootouts, eh? I definitely don't have an entire wheelbarrow of monkey shit so I'm gonna just concede this one.
Thanks for the comment, Wesley. Keep asking questions. I'm sure you'll learn some interesting stuff.
No, I haven't. But given the political climate I certainly feel myself being drawn back into organizing. It's starting to fee imperative on some level. I'll definitely check it out now. The title itself is fascinating. Thanks!
I love how you promote listening and empathy. Going into an exchange trying to change somebody is not an empathetic response. Complicating things is that many people (especially people with privilege they can’t acknowledge) can’t seem to see past their own sense of grievance and entitlement. They react to the other as if they’ve personally wronged them—and that response is also not empathetic. Our political culture stokes that sense of grievance so that people squabble over what they see as a very limited pool of public good, when they could be working together to achieve it.

Damn. Hardly seems worth it when you put it like that 😁

Thanks for sharing
We are super aligned. Have you read Yasuhiko Genku Kimura’s Alignment Beyond Agreement?
No, I haven't. But given the political climate I certainly feel myself being drawn back into organizing. It's starting to fee imperative on some level. I'll definitely check it out now. The title itself is fascinating. Thanks!
Yeah well worth it, it’s only a short PDF.
Great story by the way, that many could learn a lot from, just shared — and welcome back to organising!
Thanks again!

Agreed.
Thanks, Chris!
