from big corporations to hierarchical non-profits to local governments, people seem to be naturally gifted at community, but they don’t know or don’t express that side of themselves.

Quote

We have lost it in our own cultures of individualism and capitalism. We have lost it in the colonization and oppression of cultures across the world. We have lost it in the genocide of indigenous peoples everywhere. And because we started to neglect our own traditions of community (and oppress others’), we are collectively so out of practice with community.
