Refusing to be Accountable: Responsibility, Boundaries, Intervention and Punishment

Previous Episode: Cancel Club with DJ Fraser: We Don't Know How to Live and We Are on the Brink of Death

Next Episode: Talking Shit with He Valencia: We Need Socialism So Y'all Can Get Some Damn Therapy

In Episode 6, we discuss different situations in which people hurt others and feel hurt by others, what distinguishes one type of such an experience from another, and what sorts of responses are appropriate. We unpack the terms ‘harm’ and ‘accountability’, often used in the Nexus but seldom defined, and tease apart some of the unstated assumptions underlying them. We offer a framework for understanding responses to situations of interpersonal discord, differentiating between responsibility, boundaries, intervention, and punishment.
