(9,137 posts)to where from and how food etc. comes to urban "civilization"? And that the relation between self-sufficient rural life and dependent urban life is based on structural violence? Kings and priests etc. more equals than others urban "superiors" refusing to work to support themselves and their families and using violence and threat of violence to rob and tax their livelihood from peasants.
I don't believe you mean harm and just speak from limited experience, the way you have raised, but as fossil fuel based industrialized agriculture is coming to end, it's worth while giving a thought to relation of rural and urban ways of life and how they could be organized non-violently, including healing causes of self-destructive violence towards Mother Nature.
