Philosophy

on a different platform, in nov 2020, i asked whether our current version of democratic theory makes an implicit assumption of a largely homogeneous electorate that doesn't have fundamentally irreconcilable values. 

we seem to be exploring this in several countries rn.

not-knowing ✹ 🍕-fan ✹ productive discomfort + idk ✹ Marseille / Singapore / Auvergne ✹ The Uncertainty Mindset (2020) ✹ now: vaughntan.org/now-ish

i guess the conventional answers of exit, voice, or loyalty still hold.

schism!

or reversing diversity initiatives (🫣)

both of which seem to be happening

mmm, but doesn't consociationalism require some kind of bargaining/consultation between the different groups within? and those examples seemed to work only when the value-structures of the different groups were all considered legitimate by the other groups.

In political science there’s an established literature on this, particularly around the topic of consociationalism —there are many countries with very different groups, like Lebanon pre civil war, India

I feel you’re making a point about MAGA, whereas my examples are religious/cultural, but they aren’t so different.

I generally think they only work when the alternative is bad: no rich democracy really has this except Switzerland historically but their religious differences don’t so much cause strife these days.
