Recently reminded that referring to Indigenous cultures as "socialist" is misapplication of Eurocentric thinking.

Indigenous people tend not to focus on the means of production in economies, preferring that sustainability, reciprocity, and care take priority.

KROPOTKIN WAS RIGHT

Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution is a 1902 collection of essays by naturalist and anarchist philosopher Peter Kropotkin.

The essays explore the role of mutually beneficial cooperation and reciprocity in the animal kingdom and human societies both past and present.

When I greet nature as family,

a tree, a smudge of lichen,

the invisible complexity of the sky,

I feel a reciprocity of love.

When I reach for wonder as a receptive student,

I always find it reaching back.

please dont rage out when someone isnt very forthcoming of the "kindness" you are offering it's weird. Also start apologies by NOT being dismissive. The term we use here is instrumental reciprocity, which refers to the practice of doing a favor with the expectation of a return. They absolutely

autistic socialising features a lack of 'typical' reciprocity

e.g., many autistics (and neurodivergents) have a habit of responding to conversations with 'I experienced something that made me feel similarly'. a neurotypical person often reads that as someone trying to make a conversation about them

Donald Trump has no real friends, either personally or as a supposed leader. He betrays everyone in his life sooner or later. He has no concept of kindness, empathy, or reciprocity. He and his brainless minions are isolating the U.S. He'd like us to be another North Korea if he could.

Britain should engage in reciprocity.

Also - is there a question if reciprocity. It is not possible to enforce a UK libel award in the USA. So why should it be possible to enforce one of theirs here?

this is so good and really captures what's sinister about everyone befriending chatbots.

"They provide some facsimile of companionship while allowing users to avoid uncomfortable interactions or reciprocity," writes @damonberes.com www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

"By choice they made themselves immune
To pity and whatever mourns in man
Before the last sea and the hapless stars;
Whatever mourns when many leave these shores;
Whatever shares
The eternal reciprocity of tears."

--- Wilfred Owen, "Insensibility"

The CA bar is ridiculous. Low pass rates, no reciprocity, and takes longer than the heat death of the universe to get back scores.

“Including First Nations world views would not just enrich our democracy, it would transform it — broadening it beyond the confines of Western liberal traditions and grounding it in values of respect, reciprocity and shared survival.”

Prof Larissa Behrendt on defending decolonisation and democracy.
At the heart of the constitution, there lies an historic and structural wound
I want to reflect on what I have come to see, through my own experience, as both the illuminating strengths and the shadowed weaknesses of the Australian legal system and its role in our democracy.

Also it reluctantly bound itself for one generation to the lady out on bail as a shikigami because she was /the only one/ who celebrated how it found a way to stop people from becoming corrupted by Hell and cured itself of that in like... a week.

Only person to practice reciprocity etiquette.

yves views his own labor as born from a bond of obligation to the world, born of reciprocity to it. in many cases of heroism that reciprocity means horrific trauma. obviously he would hope to be healed and helped through it, but…

Tô chorando com um livro e não consigo parar. Vontade de viver do que a terra dá e numa comuna alinhada ao conceito de dádivas. 🥲 Só tem em inglês, infelizmente, mas quem conseguir ler, indico demais! É de uma ecologista indígena, Robin Wall Kimmerer.

Do y’all have reciprocity with the Milwaukee library system because I would like one

We analyze norm enforcement in the European Council, one of the EU’s most important institutions. Our focus is the norm of diffuse reciprocity: the European Council only functions if its members are prepared to make concessions. We make three contributions to existing literature:

I agree, but it's counter to conservative morality.

We think "fairness and reciprocity" means treating others as we'd like to be treated.

Conservatives think it means treating others 'as they deserve'. (Haidt, The Righteous Mind)

Note that 'as they deserve' is very judgmental and ugly.

DNC work for the same donors, so the agenda ends up pretty much the same.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

AOC and some other progressives refuse to accept oligarch and big money donations. They know that there are expectations & reciprocity attached.

Schumer is in their deep pockets.

Cooperation isn’t weakness, it’s strategy.

Axelrod’s rules remind us: fairness, reciprocity and humility often outcompete envy and cleverness.

In complexity, often simplicity wins.
