The persistent consensus of collective memory is about belonging too. If I deny a happening that everyone has agreed upon then I run the risk of being socially rejected; therefore probably lessening my chance of surviving.
Also, this false memory should be corrected as you say and it makes me wonder about the role false memory has played in our understanding of previous liberation and climate movements.
you've taken a personal use of the word "lockdown," and turned it into a study of false memories, of which there are many. but in this case everyone during covid experienced their own sense of lockdown, imposed not strictly by governments but supported in fact if not in name by all sorts of online media and from friends' views, etc. so i can say that i'm just tentatively emerging from 3 years of lockdown, my spouse having been notified of cancer just as covid began, and wev'e not eaten indoors since or taken public transportation till this month. first movie, also, in a nearly empty theater. we have a friend who walks masked in the street and carries a co2 monitor and is still in "lockdown." we also have friends who are vaccine skeptics and have never agreed to lockdown, say it didn't apply to them. what's in a word...?
Thanks Nathan. Sorry to hear about your partner, I hope they are doing better. You're right, but I hope most people will understand lockdown here to mean the mandated prohibition of movement and a wide range of activities specifically by governments
