Been thinking about that Lausten –

I’m just all broken up about your straw man argument. Save your keystrokes. I’ve been working on this for a couple decades and I’ve gone a little beyond “be nice”. The President is sending up flags of civil war to see who salutes. They’re winning. Might be time to consider strategies.

The scientific method is based on the idea that we have confirmation biases and that we do better when we have a multiplicity of views on the same data. Yet, even while discussing that method, we ignore it. My first inclination when I started working with community organizers was that tribalism is hindering our ability to discuss capitalism and dismantle power structures. Then, with each successive community of self-proclaimed enlightened freethinkers, I ran in to tribalism. At first I thought it was the corporate money in grants. If you really want a lion’s den, try going in to the kitchen. Not a metaphorical one, I mean the actual kitchen where they are making soup for the homeless or spaghetti for the fundraiser of the month. Make one suggestion about the smallest thing. Let me know how that goes.
