I've been involved with community activism in one form or another for over twenty years. The one thing I've learned from that experience is that it only takes a few rogue individuals in a community to have a disproportionate impact on morale and the general sense of well-being. Were it not for decades of neo-liberal ideology and the consequent rise of atomisation and selfishness, it would be relatively easy to deal with these rogue elements. While there is still a yearning among many people for a sense of community and belonging, enough damage has been done to allow these rogue elements to carry on with their destructive behaviour without the fear of being apprehended.
