we're not allowed to say where faun has gone

I really wish more communities would emulate the high trust networks of my origin community. The other day I (embarrassingly) ran out of gas for the first time in my decade of driving. I pulled off the interstate, called Chaveirim — a network of volunteers that help with all sorts of emergencies — whatsapped my location, and within minutes a dude with swinging tzitzis showed up with a gallon and had me rolling on to the gas station I was headed towards. I wasn’t worried about being mugged or carjacked or overcharged because this guy is probably my cousin’s friends brother in law or something. The tight networks create security and safety so efficiently. We “have a guy” for everything, and the social support and micro economy is quite incredible, all fueled by high trust in a closed tribe. No ethnic group or outsider is formally excluded but the only access method is social capital. This often attracts hate and jealousy from other groups, but there is no secrecy or nefarious mo’s behind these networks, and nothing that can’t be accomplished by other groups who seek to uplift themselves. Rather than hating on it, emulate it! Anti tribalism means the elimination of systems that provide resources to those who don’t necessarily have financial capital, which allows them to create it. Copy us! Build strong communities, encourage entrepreneurship, share your credit card logins. Stuck it to capitalism by creating your own versions of it.
