    Threat of social exclusion is a threat to material conditions. Practically noone can survive completely on their own. It invariably creates a toxic social atmosphere of mistrust, as the first priority of each individual must be self-preservation. If you feel like someone is out to get you excluded from the group, for any reason big or small, then you must be out to get them first.

    Social cohesion is built via trust, trust comes when you believe the community at large has your best interests at heart. Preservation of the group becomes more important than preservation of the individual.

    Its certainly a hell of a lot of mental and emotional labor to rehab problematic people, but the payoff is a system that’s sets people up for success.
