Hmmm. Maybe there is a serious issue here. If one considers
bioregionalism, for example, and in its more extreme guises, say,
then perhaps a strong attachment to place/location could actually be
a form of "placism," leading to all sorts of illiberal
discrimination. E.G. buying locally, that kind of thing.
