I have been thinking about how there should be another term (like “himpathy”), which conveys the phenomenon of not wanting to be crude even in talking about the most base of violations.
For example, the word “incest” is a more palatable term than “rape by a family member”.

Sometimes it felt insanely antisocial -- people spitting or coughing on strangers.
But there were also times when it was community at its absolute best.
