D. Simon,S4 Behind The Scenes: It’s all connected
The number of people who have been [ hideously ] or fecklessly left behind is shocking to me ”
Re-addingReading
D. Simon,Observer Ideas festival (2014)
Collective responsibility without personal freedom -or without liberty- is tyranny. It’s totalitarianism. That’s something we should fear always.
But conversely, personal freedom and personal liberty without collective responsibility -without a shared sense that you are part of society and that you owe it to society to participate fully- and to seek utilitarian solutions to society’s problems...
That’s just selfish. That’s just bad citizenship. That’s a recipe for a second-rate society.

And to the extent that its institutions manage to exclude or diminish its people, they will nonetheless find a way to play.

The Snotboogies of the world may be comical and doomed and they are often dangerous.
But as citizens of a parallel world under the same Stars and Stripes as the legitimate America, they must be allowed to play.
