Janina: Hm, this theory that everything always deradicalizes automatically sounds too unidimensional for me. I mean, couldn't it be the other way around or just not changing at all, as well? It totally depends on the message and the way it is transferred. Whatever, I came to have big resistance against approaches that claim to have answers to everything; that just seems too absolute for me, even though it may sounds sound convincing and pretty. And if I don't support it from the bottom of my heart anyways, it would just be an opinion I submit to and I don't think that is what this is about.

Matthias: The world we live in is so complex and humanity has achieved so much already, if there was a collaps, I fear that we would lose a lot.

Paul: Keeping a name because it is 'yours' is exactly the mindset, that will lead to dominat behaviors. If Paul: Keeping a name because it is 'yours' is exactly the mindset, that will lead to dominat behaviors. If that is the whole reason then you should let go of it immediately.

Paul: No, they're definitely connected. The organization is just different from country to country and the online communication is not yet very elaborated. They do have regional gatherings, though, and a lot of people already being part of the network. If yunity was to integrate into their network both sides could probably benefit from that.
