For instance, once someone has engaged in [[outing]], an attempted [[power grab]] that assigns a label or name to a body of work or behaviour, there is no cooperation or discussion with them in a [[community]] that follows this principle. Both [[gays]] and [[trolls]] seem to share a particular repugnance for involuntary association of [[body]] with label or name, and punish it most severely: at the very least, with absolute refusal to cooperate further with those who engage in it. Applying this principle strictly also shields acts of [[vigilantiism]]: | For instance, once someone has engaged in [[outing]], an attempted [[power grab]] that assigns a label or name to a body of work or behaviour, there is no cooperation or discussion with them in a [[community]] that follows this principle.

Outing [[journalist source]]s | In extreme cases people who involuntarily "out" others as homosexual have sometimes been killed: such killing can be ignored or justified as self-defense by the community as a whole, whose members are very often killed, far more frequently, for having being involuntarily labelled and exposed. Outing [[journalist source]]s often has a similar effect. To "out" someone in these circumstances, whether the outer knows those circumstances or not, is to declare war on their entire [[faction]], a war some take very seriously. For another example, consider the implications of [[ratting]] on the [[mafia]] - anyone who does this will have to change their entire identity since they are certain to be killed for this if they do not. | ||
Obviously, the '''no cooperation''' principle builds on itself since an action taken to end the unrighteous act is itself one that must be concealed by the community, if it wishes to retain the power to protect itself. If there is [[no confusion with group entity]] concerns such as legality or [[precedent]] then there will also be no doubt that the community knows best when to do this, and knows when not to do it, and that it will not be drawn into a cycle of simple acts of revenge - which would themselves require an authority to end and thus end the autonomy of the [[anarchize]]d group. | Obviously, the '''no cooperation''' principle builds on itself since an action taken to end the unrighteous act is itself one that must be concealed by the community, if it wishes to retain the power to protect itself.
