Socialize the Patriarchy to Death!
How should communities protect themselves from echoing schisms of couples and smaller subgroups more generally? How graph-theoretic an answer can be provided?
As community size increases, so does the chance of subgroup schisms, which tend to reduce community size, producing an upper bound on community size which ultimately stifles community organizing, perpetuating our collective oppression.
One might suspect these conflicts are subconsciously invented if necessary to keep communities below Dunbar's number, in which case I have to say that I have more faith in our capacity for complexity given humanity's mental adaptability generally and that, like #metaphobia, we must overcome our collective fears of computational complexity and thus of larger communities.
(And of larger numbers of relationship possibilities--computational laziness doesn't just drive metaphobia, but also homophobia, biphobia, #polyphobia, and inconsiderateness in general, since considering less makes computation 'easier' (on who?))
As the world's population increases, the degree of oligarchy in having true community strictly below the Dunbar number increases, so bottom-up organizing increasingly must do better than our natural tribal capacities and that won't be easy for anyone, so if you aren't pushing yourself socially, you're part of the problem.
Suppose I am allowed one unprovable intuition: the path to peace and out of oppression lies in *increasing Dunbar's number*. (Compare this to Singer's 'Expanding Circle').
This is why, past a certain point, introversion is incompatible with activism, and this point gets closer every day as the world gets larger and the old boy's club still has the same old table with the same number of seats.

"The text argues that communities need to protect themselves from the negative effects of subgroup schisms by increasing their size and complexity. This can help to reduce the tendency towards oligarchy and the stifling of community organizing, which can perpetuate collective oppression. The text suggests that this can be achieved by overcoming fears of computational complexity and larger communities, and by pushing ourselves to be more socially engaged. By increasing the size of communities, it may be possible to increase the number of relationship possibilities and overcome social biases such as homophobia and polyphobia. The ultimate goal is to achieve peace and overcome oppression by increasing the number of people within a community, and by fostering a more inclusive and diverse social environment."
