Id argue that defining community as where you live isnt the only way community can be used. Community could also be the place you work, the place you protect, the place you participate, the place you consume in, the place you interact with. Property, ownership, are only some of what make someone a community member.
- meheleventyone 6y agoYes you can have your own local definition I suspect you will face an uphill battle for it to be accepted though. I suppose that means the protestors could be called the community too and since they outnumber both the militia types and the police they are the majority? Ultimately it’s the transitory nature of the participation that marks it out as not part of the community. For example a landlord might not be considered part of the community despite owning property.
- basch 6y agoI guess it depends too if you consider a suburb a part of the community of the city it surrounds. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Antioch,+Illinois+60002/Kenosha+Wisconsin/@42.611571,-88.133939,9.94z/ https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Antioch,+Illinois+60002/Keno...
- meheleventyone 6y agoI mean you can have fun playing semantics by changing your position per reply but this doesn’t seem fruitful or meaningful to the case at hand?
- basch 6y agoI don't see a suburb as inconsistent with my previous reply. A suburb, by definition, is going to be economically dependent on its metro. That interlinking blurs the definition of community. I don't think it's black and white whether you can say his communitiee were or weren't a part of the larger communities.
