Re: Are we too marginal?

I do not see it as a simple diversity in the ways of living and of representing the world, but rather as a partition between those who resign or accept and those who have a non-immanent critical attitude *. The difference between these two groups results, I am quite aware, of minimal differences, nothing that justifies self-celebration!
I think that the fact of representing a marginal vision encourages tolerance and that therefore does not present a major obstacle to communication with others. The most difficult being that this necessarily limits the quality as well as the intensity of exchanges: at the same time that the economy is experiencing an (interesting) process of zombification, society is suffering the repercussions of a multiplication of living-already-dead (counterweight to increased life expectancy?), "man-machines" to use another qualification borrowed from Descartes...

* Those who contest certain aspects of the system produce an immanent criticism, ie internal to it (these are by far the most numerous); something else is a challenge to the system itself.

ABC, you write:
The important thing is ultimately to live in harmony with yourself!

Except that "I" follow the others ...

It's true, but indirectly it's okay anyway ... :P

I appreciate all your feedback, thank you.

I was already quite in agreement with this idea, here I am now reassured more!

You forget those who resign themselves to producing a criticism of the system, without ever going beyond this stage. : Wink:

I do not see where your sentence would contradict:

It even reinforces this idea it seems to me?

The marginal line is not inviolable.

Eclectron, I receive your message 5/5! :D
Producing a systemic criticism is anything but resignation: it requires quite a bit of effort and it is the necessary condition as a prerequisite for any truly emancipatory change. History is filled with people full of good will who believed they were doing useful work and who struggled like devils so that, in the end, their ideal was trampled underfoot and their efforts instrumentalised in the service of an entirely different cause. ..
I grant you, however, that this is not a sufficient condition, but who will believe that I am determined to stop there? This last point is of little importance in the matter, however, since it is about democracy ...
