How to Disagree with Respect — Not Hate | Spencer J. Cox | TED
Spencer J. Cox, Republican governor of the state of Utah in the United States, says that even in these deeply polarized times, it’s still possible to disagree without hate or contempt. He shows how this idea sparked a viral campaign ad he co-created with his Democratic political opponent back in 2020 — and shares four…

The one who not only exemplified, by personal example, the highest principles of human unity and love,
is the same one who
delivered the most famous speech in history,
is the one whom he over looked in his delivery:
The Sermon on the Mount
delivered by Jesus Christ.
It has been said
that when world leaders learn to abide by what Jesus taught in that speech
they would have not only resolved the issues between one another
They will have solved all the problems that plague mankind.
World leaders?
Sadly- that is not going to happen.
In this presentation he even warned us, not to look at the example of politicians.
I will give him credit for at least trying.

I unsubscribed yesterday, but came back to check if they posted anything akin to “we saw your comments, we apologize” or at least an explanation.
Seeing this video (whose core message is good, though it doesn’t touch on the nuances that many minorities feel like the other side wants them dead) I do wonder if they were baiting everyone to comment hate yesterday.
Which is kinda funny because the comments were brimming with very calm “Not cool, TED” messages and barely any hate expressed against Vance. 🤔

Because they posted an old talk by JD Vance this morning. They had nothing to say for years while the GOP trotted out BS accusations against Dems, like “snowflake” and “goomer” and “communist” and “Marxist” and “baby-killer” and “pedophile.” Then they start with the “let’s be kinder and gentler” after the Democrats started calling Trump and Vance “weird” and they started melting down over it. Who’s the snowflake now? It’s as if the RNC gave TED $$ to run thinly veiled campaign ads disguised as content. 🤨

Unfortunately, I live and work surrounded by people far further right than me and spending time with them just reminds me of how nuts they are. I also don’t consider “moderation” a virtue at all. Consider how ridiculous the statements of “We should only breathe a moderate amount” or “It is important to have a moderate amount of rape” are. In general, you should either have A LOT of something or as little as possible.
Not to mention, I have no desire to respect people who have demonstrated their desire to ruin or even END lives. And I hear this stuff from THEIR OWN MOUTHS, in person, not just from the news.

Worthwhile sentiments all. However, it was disappointing that he dismisses the idea that he, as a politician and governor of Utah, is in any way responsible for improving politics. As a Republican one party state, toxicity between the parties isn’t the problem. The toxic rhetoric lies within the Republican Party. His party. Disagreeing better still requires disagreement in the face of partisan toxicity, especially when it’s coming from within your political tribe. Why place the burden of change on the electorate as you turn a blind eye to the problem among your political peers. You have chosen to endorse Trump in the 2024 election knowing what a threat he poses. Practice what you preach. The call is coming from inside the house.

My main critique is I think he kind of handwaves the dangers of the right. If the left had their way right wingers would have healthcare and paid family leave. If the right got there way me and many of my friends would be dead or in concentration camps. The left shut down some campuses to protest genocide. The right is burning down hotels filled of asylum seekers to protest melanin.
Like if someone openly admits to you that they are right wing, that’s a red flag. You should feel less safe with that person. If you wanna livee them, fine, but do it from a safe distance.

On an intellectual level i agree with this, even believe in it and want to practice it. But this feels way to theoretical and not nearly practical enough. For example, how do you get “respectful disagreement” between two people when one of them believes that it is a sin and murder to have an abortion, and believes that they need to do everything they can to protect innocent life and the other believes passionately that they have a right to do whatever they like with their body and that if someone tries to take away their right to choose aboriton they are taking away their civil rights? There is no middle ground there.
@LisaGelhaus
August 11, 2024 at 4:17 am
No. But there can be listening. And trying to understand the why’s behind their view. And parting with an agreement to still be, respectfully, in disagreement. The problem happens when we attempt to force our opinion on others’ action, expecting that THEY change because we are RIGHT. That’s when a friendly (even impassioned) debated turns into a brawl.
We can’t change others’ opinions. It is a fact. But THEY/WE can change our own opinions if we decide to do so after understanding our own opinions better through thoughtful conversations.
Why is this so hard to grasp? Because we let our emotions get the upper hand. We jump to thoughts of “I’m threatened”, “they are judging me” and it’s a downward spiral from there.
Learn and teach others how to converse respectfully. It’s takes calm and self control. We should learn this as children.
@TheBian-ck9tz
August 12, 2024 at 10:53 pm
Because we can agree and disagree at the same time? That’s a very shallow take to assume that since two people starkly disagree they cannot share some middle ground on what they agree on. There are levels of depth to disagreements and issues and if you dig deep enough and are not talking to a psychopath then you will find basic things that you agree on.

Sadly, I have personally had him treat me with hate. He spoke kindly but I felt judged and labeled incorrectly. I have tried and tried to meet with him to talk about caucus, convention, and the effect on me of him using “disagree better” towards the group I was a part of. Great speaker but when asking for him to listen to me, I am too little to fit in to his schedule. Not even a response has come saying he received my letter.

Aristotle summed up “serve others and do good”
some forms of…have even been associated with….
improve our outlook on life
service and volunteering help build up the community
we can find shared identities that unite instead of divide
it’s just stressing us out
inaccurate views
the perception gap
Americans aren’t as far apart as we think we are
it seemed like there was a hunger for architects instead of arsonists
the American idea started to rekindle
debate this issue without degrading each other’s character
secure the freedom endowed to all of us from on high
it is our solemn duty in our generation
must rise up and meet that radical call
he went on to say that freedom is not ours by way of inheritance
we all become ravenous beasts of prey
humility, patience, and moderation
develop the classical political virtues
look beyond our political tribes
proximity will empower you
media saturation overload or headline anxiety or doom-scrolling
that always elicits a laugh
to help heal the divides in our nations
progressive activists and extreme conservatives
both sides overestimate the extremism on the other side
the divisiveness in politics
as Americans barrel towards an election
to alter the trajectory of the US
a reduction in urges toward violence
we can disagree without hate and contempt
were talking and lementing
with the election less than two months away

The reason many people support Donald Trump is because they have seen this “nice guy” approach towards the Democrats is suicide. It is this very approach that destroyed Mitt Romney’s campaign in 2012. Four years of Barack Obama was proof putting a man who hates America in the presidency was folly. I am not going to surrender my freedoms so some politician can feel good about himself.

I actually really like this talk. It’s regrettable that he didn’t see how he undercut this message with his vicarious umbrage & offense for Jesus in the Olympic games opening ceremony. He helped feed more bias & disinformation in our home state.
What’s missing from his talk, and follow through in Olympics is how much it’s needed for those with political authority to measure their mistakes and appropriately apologize. “I’m sorry. I was wrong. I misrepresented [x] and that’s on me. The truth is [y.] As important as it is to disagree better, it is to retract misinformation and repair mistakes. A person’s character isn’t found in their mistakes like it is in what they are willing to do to correct them.
If he has issued a retraction and I’ve missed it, it is my mistake that I haven’t seen it. If he hasn’t then I continue to wait for it. That which you’re unwilling to defend, explain, or retract simply shouldn’t be part of our national or state politics. Imagine how it would change the discourse if politicians were expected to issue retraction & apology whenever they misrepresented their opponent. Or if when misrepresenting their history they had to correct the record.
