De-escalators
7. Massively Parallel Roles & Tasks
De-escalators help us diffuse our escalated and hyper-polarized politics by working to replace anger, hostility, us-vs-them demonization, and, sometimes, violence with a willingness to peacefully and constructively engage with the other side in ways that can lead to mutual understanding, joint fact-finding, and collaborative efforts to address common problems. We find it useful to divide de-escalators into three sub-categories: escalation educators, mediators and conciliators, and crisis responders.
