bera - So first I should preface by saying that the terms being used here are not exactly literal, but emblematic of a specific CT-related phenomenon that sits beneath them. And so there are some FiNe that are 'diplomats' by occupation like Ingrid Betancourt, and 'bureaucrats' like FeSi Bernie Sanders too. Career isn't the focus, but the metabolism.
Squaring that away, what I mean in the CT context by saying Fe/Ti's are diplomatic is an expression of how the world of objects (Fe) is contended with through the social economy.
For an Fi/Te demographic, what it might mean to be "diplomatic" is to give everyone an equal representation or voice, but this would be handled through Te so for instance by giving everyone a ballot and instructing them to checkbox their preference and drop it in the box before leaving. I've seen Delta types be very procedural and bureaucratic in how they go about planning parties, and making peace with the collective. If a person or two is underprivileged, the "diplomatic" solution would be to make some structural changes to the situation that allows for a fairer equilibrium of opportunity and resource distribution. This is essentially bureaucratic in the context of the OP.
Oppositely, for an Fe/Ti demographic, what it might mean to be "diplomatic" is to air everyone's emotional frictions out publicly as a group, and negotiate emotional needs until everyone gets enough of what they want in the form of emotional transactions between parties. This might mean apologies, bowing, stepping down, bruises, or doing something that in some way re-balances the emotional scales of the situation. Peace is achieved by emotional transactions so that the social standing of each individual reflects a fair social reality that can be agreed on by the group.
The display is very important, and I would go as far as to say 'essential' for the re-balancing of energies with Fe/Ti. With Te/Fi it more easily suffices for the environment to be adjusted as necessary, so we can all be on our merry way. It doesn't mean Fi/Te users won't still have personal grievances with one another, and benefit from apologies, but there is no need for there to be a spectacle where a mutual understanding is achieved at the group level as to where everyone stands in relation to everyone else.
