i mean ... isn't the whole trick about not building something out of shitty construction materials in the first place? whether it's your group of friends or when your group of friends starts colliding and interacting with other "groups of friends"?

I like ziq's writing and I know these problems very well but i don't assign blame or agency to words?

calling something a community isn't what makes people docile. they just are or they aren't and when they're in a group, a certain percentage of the group needs to be not docile to prevent dominant personalities from hijacking, preying and/or destroying.

if you are a docile person or group, it might be wise to recognize that ferocious friends are a necessity in a hostile world. but they also need to be principled, since we've already established that you're weaker than they are haha
