Ghettoside talks a lot about how much community there is in the ghetto, and about how small disagreements escalate into years-long feuds. A sort of sharp retort to Putnam's Bowling Alone, if you will

I feel like these discussions treat feuds and socially-sanctioned lynch mobs as the *failure state* of a stateless society (or weak state), instead of just how these things tend to develop. People aren't stupid, and institutions evolve for a reason.
