This is the first time I’ve heard of the term revenge travel. “When people seek to escape the monotonous routine that has emerged as the "new normal" in the wake of the coronavirus epidemic.”

Like the term 'quiet quitting' for the absolute audacity of workers who perform the tasks they're compensated for, no more, no less.

Culture wars to distract from the class war we should be fighting.
