An Empathy Circle is a structured dialogue process that effectively supports meaningful and constructive dialogue. The basic process can be fairly easily learned in about 15 minutes and it is a lifelong practice to deepen. An Empathy Circle increases mutual understanding and connection by ensuring that each person feels fully heard to their satisfaction. The practice is the most effective gateway practice for learning, practicing and deepening listening and empathy skills, as well as, nurturing an empathic way of being.
I’m not sure what the bounds of listening should be. But maybe that is part of why I’m so afraid of starting a political conversation with someone I don’t agree with (ex: with relatives I’m not close to). With clearer bounds, it could make it less scary to at least start and engage.
Start attacking power and the paid puppets that keep you passive.
Exit your lapdog trance.
Propaganda has reduced you to the useless eater status of slaves.
You just let yourselves be conditioned into a new round of obedience training by a clearly, certain, dialogue about a democracy that doesn't fuckin exist.
And you liked it. Not because it was real but because it told you something to make this hell seem acceptable.
It is not acceptable.
And you the like button imbeciles are the failures that made dictatorship possible.

This is so interesting and makes sense. Part of why disagreements, especially about politics, feel so risky is because there are no bounds
