The Anti-Social Century Americans are now spending more time alone than ever. Itโ€™s changing our personalities, our politics, and even our relationship to reality.

This one of many reasons that 21st century liberalism should reorient itself around *places*, namely creating places that are actually pleasant to live in, with generous public spaces that bring people's physical bodies into proximity.

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

When someone says one thing to gain power and then a contradictory thing when exercising that power, the most useful lens for understanding it is power, not hypocrisy.

This Friday, Australia's men's national team will contest the ANZAC Soccer Ashes against New Zealand in Canberra.

The match will come just after the so-called 'March for Australia' -- the divisive, racist anti-immigration rallies held across the country on Sunday.

The PFA unequivocally condemns these events, their message, violence, and the harm they caused to Australia's multicultural communities and our First Nations people.

While its organisers and attendees -- including known neo-Nazis -- seek to sow division, Friday's match will stand as a powerful reminder of the strength of multiculturalism and the unique role it plays in Australian life and Australian football.

Our Socceroos will take the field with players united by a shared goal: representing our country and its many communities, races and people.

This team, like so many before it, reflects the resilience, contribution, and spirit of migrant communities across generations.

The PFA stands proudly in solidarity with multicultural communities and will continue to oppose attempts to divide our nation through hatred, intimidation or intolerance.
