      Yup. Knowing none of your neighbors; knowing none of your coworkers; making no friends through hobbies

      Seeing widespread problems and injustice but having no time or energy to organize, … Or instead, having an inability to see any problem as shared. I think Mark Fisher had something about “anti-solidarity” in one of his books that sounds like the latter thinking-about-it

      My left neighbor is a tweaker and the one on the right is fucking batshit. Guy two doors over steals Door dash orders and land lady is across the street, it’s in my best interest to not be seen by my neighbors.
