David Rolfe Graeber (/ˈɡreɪbər/; February 12, 1961 – September 2, 2020) was an American anthropologist and anarchist activist. His influential work in economic anthropology, particularly his books Debt: The First 5,000 Years (2011), Bullshit Jobs (2018), and The Dawn of Everything (2021), and his leading role in the Occupy movement, earned him recognition as one of the foremost anthropologists and left-wing thinkers of his time.
every example of "monkey considering monkey stranger" was "bad monkey." That is the forest of this article: we're good monkeys to monkey friends and bad monkeys to monkey strangers.

again I agree that we don't think of people outside our 150-200 person capacity in the same way as those we know well. we don't give them the level of consideration we should. we don't live up to the golden rule all the time.
but EVERY example in the article was monkey stranger --> bad monkey.
