At “The Druid Circle”, we help you envision what is a Druid by protecting our Sacred Circle so that you step into a new realm out of the liberal plantation where...
- Equal Privilege & Free Expression: We firmly uphold the principle that every individual within our community possesses equal and inherent privilege. Freedom of speech stands as the primary and unrestricted means through which we communicate and express ourselves. This ensures that all voices have the potential to be heard and considered.
- Unity Over Division: Concepts such as intersectionality and segregation are not recognized or endorsed within our fellowship. Instead, we actively strive to cultivate a strong sense of unity and shared purpose among all members. Our focus remains on what brings us together, rather than what might divide us.
- Positive and Supportive Atmosphere: The foundation of our community interactions is built upon a consistently positive and encouraging environment. Mutual support and understanding are paramount, fostering a sense of safety and belonging for everyone. This allows for open dialogue and the free exchange of ideas without undue negativity.
- Respect for Conservative Thought: Holding conservative viewpoints is a respected aspect of individual thought within our community. No member shall face persecution, discrimination, or negative repercussions based solely on their conservative beliefs. We believe in fostering an environment where diverse perspectives can coexist peacefully.
- Absence of Political Correctness & Shaming: The principles of political correctness do not govern our interactions or dictate what can be said. Practices of shaming or humiliation aimed at silencing or marginalizing individuals are strongly discouraged. We aim for honest and direct communication without fear of undue social censure.
- Valuing and Building Upon Ideas: All ideas, regardless of their origin or popularity, are considered to hold inherent value within our discussions. Our approach is to constructively build upon these ideas, fostering innovation and shared understanding. No single perspective is automatically deemed superior to another in our collective pursuit of knowledge.
- Discouraging Negativity & Unfounded Judgment: We actively discourage the act of tearing down the ideas or contributions of others within our community. Judgment of individuals or their ideas must be based on sound reasoning, evidence, and fairness. Baseless accusations or criticisms are not permitted within our interactions.
- Balanced Fairness & Merit-Based Diversity: Fairness within our community is to be balanced and impartial, not influenced by lobbying or special interests. Diversity is recognized and valued based on merit, individual skills, talents, and varied ways of thinking. Appearance or identity alone do not serve as the primary basis for our understanding of diversity.
- Emphasis on Equality & Rejection of Cancel Culture: We firmly prioritize the principle of equality, ensuring that every individual has the same opportunities and is treated the same under our tenets. The practices associated with cancel culture are rejected, as is the notion that cultural appropriation inherently constitutes indoctrination. We favor understanding and open dialogue over condemnation and silencing.
- Authentic Expression & Intrinsic Worth: Displays of virtue signaling or performative activism are not a part of our community's ethos. Individuals are encouraged to express their thoughts and beliefs authentically, without fear of causing unintentional offense. The inherent worth and value of each member are not determined by their identity or group affiliation.
