What's your view on WP or AS community solidarity?

Post Reply New Topic

If someone in this community told you to keep a secret, would you tell anyone in the outside world?


If you complained about someone in the outside world to people in this community, would you expect them to side with you unconditionally, even if they said something like "Well, that person might have been thinking or feeling this" or "they might have meant this", but not side with the outside-world person?


I'm just curious. I know that a lot of you just visit this place and it's like an institution they use for their outside purposes, and they aren't into being part of this or solidarity or anything. I thought this board was more into it than it is sometimes, or there were more people into it than there are, or something. So who's into it and who's just an outsider, really?

I am so confused

What is the question? I forgot.....
Overlaying of emotiveness - non sequitor.

people are people so why should it be?...

I don't expect solidarity out of anyone but Union members in Poland, and I wouldn't put money on them...

support and agreement are 2 different things. Hopefully we supply the first, if not the second...

People here try to be more honest than supportive. If someone comes here telling their story and it is actually their fault I see people here tell them that. But being honest can sometimes be supportive too because everyone needs to be told where they are going wrong then they can fix it.

I dont actually come here for support on outside purposes like others but will comment sometimes on those that do. My lifes not really that interesting or eventful to need much support.

Please forgive me; I thought I understood the subject title, but I did not understand your post.
I would not expect a lot of solidarity on WP. But perhaps I don't know what that means other than a Polish Union that helped push down the Berlin Wall. (Sigh, all before your time, so you'll have no idea what I'm blathering about.)
Sometimes my husband agrees with me, and sometimes he does not and sometimes our conversations have to be in the form of letters so we don't get too mad at each other. But he always loves me. So is the love solidarity (my vote) or is the agreement solidarity?

I guess I mean loving each other, not telling each other off for hurting people who aren't WP members (but trying to help them and see why they did it), caring about each other more than anything else, not ratting on each other to anyone in the outside world, not maliciously gossiping about each other to anyone in the outside world, each other being the last person we abuse and not the first (or rather, not at all), protecting each other from the outside world rather than protecting people in the outside world from each other, not getting mad at each other, and if we need someone to abuse abusing someone who isn't a WP member.

But, but.... God made the NTs too and all the billions of people not on WP. We're supposed to love them as well as the people on WP. But perhaps I am being dense again.

But we're humans and we can't give everyone attention. We have to choose certain people to live with and love and understand.

I may not understand the question. I believe we do have solidarity in a way. We all have something in common.

Just the diagnosis or thinking we need the diagnosis. That seems like nothing to me. Like, black people have a solidarity together but that doesn't stop some of them from killing each other. Mexicans have solidarity but that doesn't stop some from fighting with each other. Jews have solidarity but that doesn't stop lots of them from arguing and complaining about each other. Tenagers have solidarity but that doesn't stop them from picking on each other.

Outsiders on this board are people who think it's amusing to laugh and hurt kids/people who can't answer/fight back.

Actually, that goes for every board.

I really never felt like being part of a certain group - groups are in my honest opinion superficial and artifical things I never really understood, and certainly never understood why and how one can connect to all members of such a group, while that group just constitutes from certain common attributes, characteristics or labels like nationality, skin color, fancying the same football club, sexual orientation or "syndromes".
So, no I do not feel solidarity to WP members as a group. I DO feel solidarity to single human beings which I met personally and which I learned to admire for their very own and personal characteristics.
