LFI est devenu une milice organisée ? Ca plus l'assassinat du militant fasciste.. S'ils ne veulent pas être considérés comme un parti extrême il faudrait nous montrer un peu mieux qu'ils ne le sont pas..
Ça me rappelle la montée au pouvoir du parti d'Hitler, les partis de gauche Š l'époque avaient décidé que leurs ennemis étaient les autres partis de gauche et non pas l'extrême-droite du coup ils se sont entre-détruits et le parti nazi n'a plus eu qu'Š ramasser les miettes (même s'ils …

When We’re in Charge is a no-bullshit guide for the next generation of leaders on how to show up differently,
break the cycle of bad leadership,
and navigate the changing demands of those in power
and the evolving expectations people have of their workplace.
Based on Amanda Litman’s experience as a founder and executive (and mom of two who’s trying desperately to have a life outside of work),
and informed by conversations with more than 100 next-gen leaders acr…

The first record of the parable commonly known as the "Blind Men and the Elephant" showed up around 2500 years ago, in a Buddhist text from India. At this point it's pretty commonly known. I assume that most folks reading this will be familiar with some variation of it.
If not, it's essentially a story about people who have limited information making assertions about something: one man grabs a tail and says, "it's like a rope," another the trunk and says, "it's like a snake," a third the leg saying, "it's like a tree," and so on. Later variations are less kind to the men, having them not simply report their findings, but fight over them. The first English translation draws a parallel to religion.
This comes to mind for me, because social media has a tendency to incentivize us to make those hard assertions, to dig in, to argue our perspective as part of a spectacle. Free and federated social media isn't structurally that different from corporate media, so the incentive models built to maximize engagement by maximizing conflict tend to leak through the similarities in the user experience and the conditioning of other platforms.
I didn't really come here to critique the fediverse, but rather to remind everyone, "no one sees the whole fucking elephant." We are limited and there are necessarily some things so big they will never be individually comprehensible. Any system that relies on us all agreeing cannot possibly respond to those big things.
We can see that concretely if we look at the difference between "democratic unity" and "diversity of tactics." In the first model, everyone either agrees or gets forced to behave as though they agree (at least on some issues). That's how liberal democracy works. Diversity of tactics (which systematically described, for example, in the "St Paul Principles"), on the other hand, let's people align on goals without needing to agree on exactly how to achieve them. The reality being that often there are multiple "correct" paths, and sometimes those paths can only work if multiple paths are taken in unison.
No one sees the whole elephant. We won't even see the elephant later. People will still be arguing about the elephant long after it's gone. But if you want to get rid of the elephant, you're gonna need to accept that you can't comprehend it all and you're gonna have to figure out a way to work together that doesn't require a unified approach.
