It once was liberation to end the brutal hardships of manual labor in sectors where this was possible - like in this former brick-making factory I visited here in #Brandenburg last weekend. It now sits as a reminder. But in a world where facts no longer don't matter much to too many people, where propaganda and slop are pushing aside the concreteness, reliability and sensuousness of the real world, self-determined manual work can be an antidote that reconnects us. Skill, craft, wood, brick.
