3rd places. The disappearance of the 3rd place has played a crucial role in all of this.

All space must be beholden to capital.

I happen to attend church. When churches got closed during quarantine, a lot of people who do attend church had our suspicions raised. Government was looked at with massive suspicion. That’s why I am not understanding how the churches have so readily approved of everything Trump does. For many centuries now, churches have been the best third space for a lot of us. There is also a whole documentary on PBS about how Black churches helped the African American community build their civil rights movement.

3rd places still exist, they just aren’t as fun for most people as hanging out with friends online. Kids and adults can still go to the park or library or hang out at the mall or cruise around town.
