I am glad you brought up 3rd places. My suspicion is that these places were defunded and pushed away on purpose. The owning class is ecstatic everyone turned inward into their cell phones.
Forget revolution, it becomes challenging to impossible to effectively organize without those places. A huge lobbying force used to be citizens themselves through those clubs.
The third places thing is a part of it, but there is a plethora of parts to it. Another one is the systematic brainwashing of workers to believe that unions are bad.
You can’t unionize with your coworkers if they thing unions are evil.
