What if we operate according to a politics of affinity? It's a matter of us contending with the relationships and the violence that we re-enact, because institutions and the state don't exist outside us - we fill them up and re-enact those violences that we're born into every single day in our day-to-day encounters. We can never delineate the violence or asymmetries of power amongst us, but we can certainly minimize of them, by embodying politics of responsibility.
