Politics

[close] Bring a friend (or two!) to connect with like-minded neighbors, share ideas, and dive into engaging reads on topics ranging from Wisconsin’s political history to connecting across differences. Topics: politics, social justice, storytelling/communication, activism, democracy, or books that help us have hope for the future.

[close] We've decided to create a list of every book Jordan recommends in his videos as well as others he's read. Please utilise your local bookstore, library or booktopia for online purchases. Stop giving Bezos money lol. Apparently if you're viewing this group through the goodreads app you won't be able to see the bookshelf. Stick to the desktop version to see the recommended books. Not all books listed here are an endorsement of the authors work.

[close] Study and discussion of the important questions of ethical and political philosophy from Confucius and Socrates to the present. Rules (see also the Rules and Housekeeping topic): Subject to copyright law and these rules, posters may cite, link, or quote any publication, including their own. Posts linking to outside sources must contain a brief explanation of the nature of the linked material and, unless obvious, how it is relevant to the topic being discussed. All posts and linked material must be in English. Posts and any linked material should be polite and not degenerate into ad hominem attacks. The purpose here is to seek light, not heat—rational discourse, not shouting matches. Leave your cable news persona at home and put on your philosopher's mantle when entering this group. Rational argumentation and Socratic questioning are welcome. Hectoring, intimidation, insult, and presumptuous condescension toward other group members are cause for immediate removal from the group. Internet "trolls," advocates of violence, and posters failing to comply with these rules will be removed from membership, as will posters who persist in raising issues that are outside the scope of the subject matter of this group. New members may introduce themselves in the New Member Introductions topic. See posts 4-5 here regarding the creation of new topics.
