Thank you, Bob, for this window into the inner workings and establishment of neofascism, a term I learned from Naomi Kline as I read her book the Shock Doctrine many years ago. Here in my community in New Hampshire, we have a weekly vigil that has been going since George Floyd's murder and we're now offering "Neighboring" workshops, modeled after the City of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada's exemplary mutual aid network of neighbors and neighborhoods for collective resilience. Onward and upward, Reb MacKenzie
Hi Reb—thanks for your comments. And wonderful to hear about the work you are doing. It will be important for everyone to understand the nature of collective traumas and how they can be healed. Our priorities must be to build social connections and actively engage people in prosocial activities that give them new sources of meaning, purpose, and hope. You are already doing this—-and I urge others to engage in similar activities! Thanks again,
