T Rocko is concerned such a vast investment in multicultural respect, solidarity of resonance, integrity of long-term resiience through commitment to public dialogue rather than contentious debate, could only be justified with quantitative data Adding up how much anti-militarism and anti-police brutality prejudice exists and costs in Colchester. In this political and economic moment of social cooperative distancing, dissociation, scape-goating, rabid polarization, toxic partisanship We need a baseline, says he, of mutual disregard, to measure regenerative progress and/or degenerative retrenchment from community integral investments in health remediation, inclusive wealth for future cooperative governing generations.
