@sofia@chaos.social That question is exactly what society *should* be configured to work out, but currently isn't.

It's not the sort of question you can easily solve on your own, which is exactly why people have so much trouble balancing even their personal needs, let alone communal needs. It requires social support structures.

But that doesn't mean it can't be answered. It just means that the tools we have today (and I'm looking at the policing system in particular, and how it is applied to conflicts) are not suitable for the task.
