  1. I think we should start taking into account how dependably these events of splitting and destroying bonds between people come up whenever a rising trend of unrest against the wealthy and powerful begins to emerge. We should think carefully about how those of us who are NOT rich and powerful are suddenly cutting ourselves off from one another, breaking bonds that could be used at some point to make things better. I don't object or disagree with anything being said about unsafe people, or think that anybody shouldn't do what they feel needful - hell, I feel lucky not to have anyone in my life that I'd have to say "f*** off" to, because I absolutely would. But we ought to pay attention to how, once again, those who are not rich and powerful have been influenced to create chasms that those who ARE rich and poweful can easily exploit. (American racism is the premiere example of this phenomenon, as the schism between "white" and black people benefits no one except the rich and powerful.) Think of how these schisms will affect, say, workers who otherwise might unite against unfair labor practices, or women who might unite to change school policies, or patients who might unite to agitate against unsafe medical practices. Everyone has the right to draw boundaries, but I think it would behoove us to consider how others might use those reasonable boundaries to unreasonable ends. Because they will, believe me. Those with power ALWAYS use the agitation among the powerless to gain more power and cut off the means to share in it.
