The Argument against Unity.
Ralph Kline
There is always something new to be learned. Almost every person understands this principle, if not in the moment, then in some later introspection. We experience through our life, through observations and actions, what seems to work, and what doesn't. When we move forward, we tend to want to repeat the process and of course when something fails, we don't.
eLife is not so simple though.
Our game is designed to create divisions between us. Political parties and military units and alliances compete for membership and control of actions. For every group, there is a leader. Each of those leaders( CP's congressmen, MU commanders, etc. ) should all work together for the common good. Unfortunately, that is not always the case.
More often aspects of community thinking and democratic ideals destroy what should be simple goals or projects. The reasons are complex.
A common theme in our game society is negativity toward leaders. Mostly, I believe, because we have and have had so many of them. A variety of personalities and activity levels, some organized and or charismatic. Entertaining or downright dull. All subject to judgement by those with self-appointed authority on how they should be doing their job.
These judgements and criticisms are sometimes needed, but most often they are done out of spite or for political gain.
The justification given for this is always the same.
A democratic right, the means of controlling those who would do damage to the group. By those... who do damage to the group.
They provide the argument against unity and our cultivate our greatest failure. Failing to learn from the past.
Stay classy eCanada!

TL😉R - Stop being a dick, or Ralph will did you.
rock on o/
There has to be some polarity to the political process though. We grew up in a society whose popular culture is based on good vs evil, cowboys and Indians, right vs wrong, progressive vs conservative, etc, etc. We know no other way.
Ironically, not having a congress creates unity, there is no forum for "opposition".
Stay wiped for unity!!!
I dont like Ralph Kline
o7 Ralph!
o7 Unity!
o7 yes-men unite!
I do agree that being a Richard for the heck of it doesn't do us any good. Same goes for the people who suck up to the Richards. Ricards suck. Richard suck-ups suck, too.
Ricard's Red? I've been known to imbibe.
We'll make an exception for Ricard's. Though you may as well for spring for a GIB if you want to buy faux-microbrew.
See I recently moved from Fredericton, which had an excellent micro-brewery called Piccaroons, to a small town in NS, Ricard's Red is about as exotic as it gets around here. I'll pester the local beer store, but it's hard for them to stock good beer, if I am the only one drinking it.
Small-town Nova Scotians will hang in the nearest tree if you don't like Keith's. Be careful how you request 'good beer'
Keith's is dirt and I am man enough to explain that to my fellow NSers. I am a bartender, I reserve the right to tell it how it is.
Oh and it's Rickards... which kinda, makes this conversation nonsensical, because I was goofing off your spelling error. Blargh, pass me a pint.
Who's being the dick this time? - Pretty sure its not me....
It is always about you.
You can't spell phallus with out Rolo... oh, wait...
Yea, where the hell you been?

~hyuu~
Perhaps the idea of unity, "the state of being united or joined as a whole," has been generalized and imposed to imply that disagreements mean disunity. After all, we're all still a part of this community, no matter how dysfunctional the individuals and the community are.
Perhaps unity is not a myth, but a dream.
or a dreamy myth 😛
Spoken like a real member of the MDP Ralph.
Love me.
Listen to me.
Abide by me, for I am your leader.

That's a little hypocritical isn't it Mr "I Am The CPF God"
There's always room in the CPF for any and all MDPers.
There's always room for anyone to wipe your precious bottom, Funky.
