Thanks to @OrinCordus. 'Lockdowns' = people at home. To understand why the Economy folk fight lockdowns so viciously, read this. The Economy can't tolerate 'home', it was built on the destruction of place. My constant theme. /1 https://t.co/nlN89FWdjx

'Working from home (WFH) is the true fight. The severing of work from home, from community, is the entire rationale of the economy. In a globalised market, home is where the job is. Dislocation, displacement, this is how empires have always created power. By destroying homes. /2

...no sense of place, who then need the endless distraction of 'sights' from around the world, to compensate for a void in their own lives they don't even understand. Indigenous Australians know this with bitterness. It's the Australia they know and we never understood. /end
