The day is getting closer where I roll onto Nextdoor and post my 95 Theses of "All this neighborhood paranoia isn't going to stop the crime you are, mostly, imagining is happening." there to start the endless war with my new neighbors.

1. The NIMBY, classist bullshit belief that "Hey if I own property I'm better than everyone else and have the absolute right to dictate what goes on around me for the sake of 'muh property values'"
2. The constant fear-mongering that everyone not us is out to harm us.
These come from the media and from toxic "American Dream" individualism, but Nextdoor has tilled a fertile farm to grow these feelings of distrust and selfishness into an engagement machine much like Twitter has done with sociopolitical disagreement and outrage.
