(Deutscher) Journalismus fรผhlt sich grad auch bissi an wie #Counterspeech gegen Selbstermรคchtigung von Leuten, die โvorher nix zu sagenโ hattenโฆ
Das ist ein guter Ansatzpunkt fรผr Gesprรคche mit noch-nicht-ganz-Verlorenen: nachfragen, was genau sie an ihm gut finden. Wie die Welt aussรคhe, wenn es nur Leute wie Musk gรคbe. Wer davon profitiert und ob man wirklich meint, am Ende zu den Profiteuren zu gehรถren.

Guter Artikel, der im Wesentlichen wiedergibt, was ich in meinen Workshops u.a. auch vermittle: Fragen stellen, gemeinsame Ziele statt Positionen, รผber Emotionen gehen usw.
