Demands for solidarity can quickly turn into demands for groupthink, making it difficult to express nuance.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Solidarity is an attitude of resistance, I suppose, or it should be.
Everyone must understand that you can't demand solidarity when there's a problem and shirk your duties when there are solutions.
Within each such social group, a feeling of solidarity prevails, a compelling need to work together and a joy in doing so that represent a high moral value.
In any group there is more or less tension between people, and there are complicities and affinities.
Groups tend to believe their work is harder, more strategic, or just more valuable while underestimating those contributions from other groups.
Solidarity was the movement that turned the direction of history, I think.
There is a deep-felt desire among the people to stand firmly together in dealing with the challenges of the future.
Groupthink can become a serious issue - old ideas stay around after they're useful, and new ideas too often don't get a fair hearing.
Eroding solidarity paradoxically makes a society more susceptible to the construction of substitute collectives and fascisms of all kinds.
Collective freedom provides the basic conditions for people to narrate their own lives, hold power accountable, and embrace a capacious notion of human dignity.
