The way to counteract implicit power structures isn't to make them explicit, but to acknowledge them and account for them such that they are checked. Also, the base case of an organization is a two person group. Are all two person grou

I think it can become illegal in the US if you are encouraging people to do criminal acts imminently. That's arguably incitement, but I'm not a lawyer, and this isn't legal advice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wik
