Territorial pissing and, yes, please do not confuse
"A study plubished in 1997 found
that drivers at a shopping mall left their parking spaces more slowly
when another car was waiting near that space than they did when no one
was around, even though that delay was costly for both parties. The
study’s authors attributed that finding to territorial behavior—”marking
or defending a location in order to indicate a presumed right to a
particular place.”
This behavior may be instinctual, but that doesn’t mean it’s just. Physical or legal, these walls implicitly assign different values to the lives of the people on either side of them. [...]
We should not confuse the accident of our birth on the richer or safer side of those walls with a moral right to exclusively enjoy that relative wealth or safety".
