I think about this David #Graeber quote a lot:

> [S]tructural inequality—what I've been calling structural violence—invariably creates highly lopsided structures of the imagination. Since […] imagination tends to bring with it sympathy, the result is that victims of structural violence tend to care about its beneficiaries far more than those beneficiaries care about them. This might well be, after the violence itself, the single most powerful force preserving such relations.
