"The neighbourhood as central to political, social and civic life: It's not a coincidence that we are seeing some of the strongest and most effective rapid response networks in cities like Minneapolis precisely because the ethic of being a good neighbour - despite political differences - still rings true. What many may call mutual aid is basically people looking out for their community members, their neighbours, their teachers, their co-worker, their local street vendor etc. "
@dennyhenke Ethics by proxy: it's a rare breed that has far more influence, afar, than local. At scale; The Rule of Thumb applies. We have more control in and around the factors, that are more intimate to us.
