#differing views

[multiplicity-positivity]

Here’s some positivity for systems whose headmates have vastly differing opinions!

It is a common occurrence for many systems for members to sometimes fight, clash, or disagree. Thought it may make system life challenging sometimes, there is nothing wrong with having views and ideas that vary across your collective. If your system has members with vastly differing opinions, this post is for you!

💫 Shoutout to systems who have always struggled with chronic indecision!

🫂 Shoutout to systems who struggle to accomplish or try new things due to headmates having difficulties coming to a consensus!

💕 Shoutout to headmates who have become passive or aren’t able to voice their own opinions due to fear of being overruled by the rest of their system!

💫 Shoutout to systems who want to develop a collective identity, but can’t due to strong individual differences between headmates!

🫂 Shoutout to systems whose differing opinions make it difficult for them to practice new skills or hobbies!

💕 Shoutout to systems who have a sense of dread about their future due to the stark differences between headmates!

💫 Shoutout to systems whose headmates have differing political views or moral values which make their lives complicated!

🫂 Shoutout to systems who are learning to facilitate in-system discussions to better work through their differences!

💕 Shoutout to systems who try to respect and embrace each other’s differing views, opinions, and ideas!

💫 Shoutout to systems whose differing opinions among headmates causes their whole collective a great deal of confusion, distress, or impairment!

🫂 Shoutout to systems whose chronic indecision causes them to need accommodations like more time to deliberate, extra or combined options, or a caregiver who can help them make choices!

💕 Shoutout to headmates who are learning how to compromise when different system members want different things!

Folks, please know that indecision and vastly differing views, ideas, and opinions often comes with the territory of plurality. You’re not wrong or bad for having opinions that differ from the majority of your system. You’re not rude, broken, or inconsiderate if arguments and difficulties deciding often cause dysfunction in your collective. You matter, your system matters, and your voices and opinions deserve to be heard and expressed just the way they are!

Our hearts go out to you as a fellow system whose indecision and differing opinions can be overwhelming and debilitating. We hope that learning to work together and take each others’ ideas into account will become easier for your system with time and practice. Please do your best to treat yourself and your system with compassion, and don’t be too hard on yourselves if your differing views causes complications to arise in your lives. We hope you all will be able to breathe, take your time, and ultimately reach conclusions that work well for everyone. Know that we care about y’all and we’re wishing y’all the very best in all that you do!

how ironic that one of the main criticisms of the school system in adolescence is how teachers would just stick on a video for the kids to watch instead of actually teaching them, and now all the talk from the government is about how adolescence should be mandatory viewing in schools. like are you actually gonna teach them anything? are you gonna do anything to deradicalise boys? are you gonna invest in youth and mental health services? are you gonna pay teachers the money they deserve? are you gonna do anything about the hate speech that gets spread online? are you gonna make sure parents are better supported and actually have time to spend with their children? no? i mean why would you do any of that when you can just stick on a tv show. jesus christ

there's something about butches reclaiming protectiveness and chivalry from an imposed "caring, nurturing" character associated and often forced upon women. something about how while straight men often try to present as careless as possible, masculinity and care are not only not conflicting in the butch identity, but inherent to it. there's something there.

Like sorry I'm not finished but the reason the left is so obsessed with historical revisionism and "proving" that Jews are faking the thousands of years of archeological, historical, cultural, and genetic evidence that overwhelmingly proves the Jews are indigenous to Israel. Is because they ascribe to an absolutely batshit crazy worldview in which indigenous people are very literally allowed to indiscriminately murder civilians and even commit genocide against any population that has been labeled as "colonizers." And while the insane hypocrisy and denial of obvious facts of history is crazy frustrating, the main issue here is not that they won't acknowledge Jews are indigenous to Israel. It's that they think you can determine which people one can acceptably murder based on their DNA.

Lover, murderer, maker. You took him back. It’s a bond that can never fully be severed.

I personally feel that Darcy’s “Not handsome enough to tempt me” line is grossly mischaracterized. People seem to read it as him calling Elizabeth too unattractive to be worthy of his interest, but I actually think the subtext was probably more like “no woman is hot enough to tempt me into dancing with a stranger - the thing I find the most awkward of all about meeting new people - nor is anyone hot enough to make me enjoy this party when I Do Not Want To Be Here”

Which, sure, definitely rude to say within earshot of the person you’re specifically talking about, but “she’s good looking but not hot enough to make me have fun at this party I hate” seems more like a kinda regrettable loser take within the moment and less like a personal attack against Lizzy
