A better way to phrase it would be "compelled by reality".
- giantg2 5y agoMaybe there's an even better way to phrase it... Other types of coercion are also part of reality.

- giantg2 5y agoDuring the depression, some governments actually had areas in the government land, like parks, that people could sign up for a garden plot. You could grow your own food. This allowed people in the towns and city land to grow on.
- mikem170 5y agoThat's interesting to hear! I guess it matters how many people are struggling whether they might allow such things. (The group protects itself more than it protects low-status individuals in the group?)
