They didn’t say “most people actively participate in” local community. They said people should do more of it, and you replied that there’s no such thing. Sorry

They didn’t say “most people actively participate in” local community. They said people should do more of it, and you replied that there’s no such thing. Sorry you feel that way or that it may (or may not) be true where you live, but bold claims like “local community doesn’t exist,” and ambiguous gesturing toward it never having existed, is both untrue and unhelpful.
- bokoharambe 2y agoI didn't mean to imply said local community has never existed, only that it no longer does. I'm not convinced that the cloistered, middle class, older, and predominantly white communities that exist in every medium to large city are capable of creating art of any substance. And the art they may create certainly could not be said to represent anyone in any general way.
