The United States is aflame with rage over the police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis on 25 May.

Perceived impending shortages of toilet paper owing to the spread of COVID-19 set off widespread panic.

While these feelings make sense, we should also recognise and counter the tendency that they produce towards individualism and isolation.
