@shekinahcancook@escarpment This is a strong philosophical claim about the nature of social reality. It is easier for me to follow if we drop the term “reality” which comes with a lot of baggage. If you say that people will behave as they will, then I must agree. The consequences of doing so are based on power. Power may arise from consensus, but agreement is not always affirmative —plenty of people go along to get along.
