Also some people you'll give mutual aid to are so vulnerable they have nothing in return to give a society that says they're only valuable if they're productive, because they're too disabled. And some will always be poor & unable to give financially. And you're still giving to them, for the whole.

I like the part in “Shoop” by Salt ‘n Pepa where she says “I swear, I stared, my niece my witness” because most songs don’t even bother to include independent third party verification of their claims.
