Fix the problems, not the blame.

It is that way, ‘cause it got that way. Why is for later. Start more with what and progress from there to how, when, where.

Been going through the same process. I've been sitting and working out the appeal of the man, and there is no one thing. Some of it is very cynical, but I also believe others genuinely believe him. Others are conditioned, others again see him as giving permission to their worst instincts. V complex.

That said my blood did boil this morning when on R4, a black woman T voter said: "She isn't even black."

There's some weird shit going on there.

It's easier to be tribal than to think deeply.

Yes. That's the hole I fell into with Brexit. I was bereft. I mean, I think genuinely grieving. I promised myself I'd never do that again. I didn't function for about 6 months.

Of course, it's easier from this side of the Pond.

Also, please don't treat this as a request for analysis.

It's the most useful way to progress.

When you focus on fault/blame, people become defensive.

We don't think well when we're defensive.

And folk want to boil it down to a single magic bullet solution, when the reality is so much more complicated: an interlocking series of cultural and socioeconomic factors that stretch, bare minimum, a century.

Yeah, I spend a lot of time explaining to people (and children) that the Blame Game is not useful.

Collapse of turnout. When turnout high, progressive victory. Turnout low, regressive victory.

Because the regressives always vote. _Always_.

_Why_ this happened there are a lot of people with single theories, but ultimately whether antipathy or apathy they lead down the same road. 1/

And there are _always_ people who horse trade with White Supremacists for their relative position on the WS hierarchy and privilege to change. Some do it Cleverly, others less so.

So there's been no "swing" towards that guy, the %ges changed because less people overall voted. /T

this is good management advice across the board

tadethompson.bsky.social•141 days ago

It was my style when I managed people.

Same here. Agile retrospectives at the end of a big project were - at heart - aligned with those directives.
People aren't villains, by and large, but can be manipulated by fears we can't see.

i wish more people followed this 😭
