Who Doesn't Want to Hear the Other Side's View?
MEDIUM.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Hazar Imam, 2015: "Is that message clear? You listen to people you don't like!" ~~ Hazar Imam, 1965: " What does happen, and this is a danger, is that the left-wing attitudes tend [to destroy] the respect of one individual towards another."] ARTICLE: Time and again, research shows people with left-wing/liberal views are more likely to block or unfriend their ideological counterparts than those with right-wing/conservative views. 2012 and 2014 Pew Research polls found liberals were more likely to block, unfriend or hide someone they disagreed with on social networking sites than conservatives. A 2014 YouGov UK poll found that Labour and Liberal Democrat supporters were much more likely to find it harder to befriend a UKIP supporter than vice versa. 2017 and 2018 The Dartmouth's polls found that student Democrats were much more likely to feel uncomfortable having Republican roommates or friends than vice versa.

THEFEDERALIST.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Hazar Imam, 2008: "The quest for identity can then become an exclusionary process -- so that we define ourselves less by what we are for and more by whom we are against. When this happens, diversity turns quickly from a source of beauty to a cause of discord."] ARTICLE: To understand what binds the coalition of conflicting groups on the left together, it is more useful to examine what they oppose rather than the policies they support. And the glue that holds them together is scapegoating: identifying a villain, the scapegoat, the victim to be targeted who is blamed for inciting conflict. As The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy explains: the targeted victim is a monstrous creature that deserves to be punished and eliminated for peace. Identifying the left's scapegoats isn't difficult: masculine men become scapegoats when dubbed toxic, sexist enforcers of patriarchy. Stable nuclear families are targets for perpetuating gender roles. The terms for the scapegoats -- the "deplorables," sexists and the racists, rednecks and retrogrades, bigots, different stripes of -phobes -- is what holds the fragile bloc together. Party operatives blame ...

Think of Ismaili Digest as the Front Page of all the best Ismaili websites! Ismaili Digest automatically and continuously brings together all new articles, photos, videos, etc. from Ismaili websites -- like The Ismaili, Simerg, IIS, NanoWisdoms, AKDN, Ismailimail, etc. -- so you can see them all at once. Direct links to over 15,000 web-pages from the best Ismaili websites already available. Ismaili Digest saves you (and those who are not tech savvy, such as seniors) the effort of having to visit them one by one to keep up to date, or have your inbox cluttered with emails from each of them when they publish new content. In a busy world, our sense of belonging to our community sometimes tends to wither and fade (particularly for isolated Jamati members). We hope Ismaili Digest's simplicity and comprehensiveness will help you feel connected as well as feel the local and global pulse of the community. Like many other non-commercial, public-service thematic website aggregators, Ismaili Digest is just a thematic aggregator. We publish short 50-60 word digests of all their content and provide direct links to their original pages saving you time, extra page loads and clicks. For the website publishers, direct links ensure they'll get the maximum number of potential visitors reaching their content so their hard work gets the maximum exposure. Also featured are other important articles, research and opinions relevant to the community's well being, intellectual growth, best practises and administration. And all served with a drop of humour as well, because "we are a community that welcomes the smile!" Ismaili Digest is not associated with any private Ismaili website, whether aggregated by Ismaili Digest or not. All websites Ismaili Digest aggregates are independent websites run by their individual owners and we are not responsible for content they publish. |
