Thinking about that horrifying Verge piece (which is just the latest reporting on a phenomenon that's been going on, largely offshore, for the last decade or so), and its connection to the authority / vulnerability dynamic I wrote about in Strong & Weak:
There's a Law of Conservation of Vulnerability in every human system. Someone is going to bear the risk. For you to live in Withdrawal (no authority or risk), someone else has to exercise Control (authority without risk), AT THE COST of someone Suffering (risk without authority).
And the only way Control can be maintained at the expense of others' Suffering — is through violence (broadly understood = the violation of another's dignity).
Welcome to Facebook. :} But here on Twitter as well. _Tous les mains sont sales._ Lord, have mercy.
