Huh?
- pjc50 4y agoSomeone is claiming that coercion and abuse are good aspects of the extended family system rather than bad ones which have led to people choosing to escape it when they have the economic opportunity.
- jstarfish 4y agoAbuse is a malicious application of it and not what I was advocating. It's more about bypassing the politics normally associated with these sorts of situational negotiations-- a failsafe against one (or more) persons holding the rest of the colony hostage. It is a paternalistic foil to malingering and selfishness.
