If you are worried about the crap hitting the fan on the news and want to do something, get out and meat your neighbors.
Now I know that is going to make you look a little weird, but this may be the price you have to pay to avoid riots in your neighborhood.
It's not all that hard, just set your grill up in the front yard and send the kids to invite everybody over for hot dog, hamburger, or something vegan.
Folks that know each other typically talk out their problems.
Even gorillas rarely harm each other in their fights, they toss leaves, thump their chests, but debilitating injuries happen less often.
They know it is detrimental to the survival of the species.
They certainly don't team up into teams that only communicate through violence.
That is reserved for the 'higher' animals, humans.
I mean, who doesn't want to gang up for more rewards, right?
I'd recommend the same thing here, on Steemit, but there are certain cliques that wouldn't deign to move among the unwashed, uncowed, slightly disrespectful, certainly irreverent folks that don't meet the 'corporate' standards they have set for everybody on the platform.
But screw them, eh?

Have a perfectly peaceful day.
Keep working, stop paying. No war, but the class war!!
Viva! Tradeqwik, the exchange that pays you!
How to win in court for far less!!
Yup...that last paragraph... I get what you're saying...but most neighbors are crap!
Well, they can fill in on the barricades better if they are jerks in everyday life.
It just amazes me how many times I have biked or walked across this major metropolitan state capitol and don't see anybody outside.
The flashylight box is separating us from each other, imo.
I know my neighbours. I don't really like them but would be able to work temporarily with them if needed. I'm from South Africa and we are quite a friendly nation. We can easily chat to strangers while waiting in queues, for example.
That is an issue, the neighbors I do know aren't very friendly.
Here on the great plains of the united snakes folks are more polite to total strangers than anybody they know, mostly.
Astute observation. Easier to befriend strangers? Mmm
It is a veneer given to folks we don't know as well.
We see the flaws in folks we have more communications with.
Truth!
I just came here to correct you on your grammar.... But then I read the article. Well played.
Thanks.
What a funny headline, albeit I guess involuntarily.
