CULTURAL REWILDING presents an icon in which the Russian saying в каменных домах сердца становятся каменные is added. The saying is taken from Peter Kropotkin's book on mutual aid in the section in which he talks about indigenous people and can literally be translated to "stone houses make stony hearts". While indigenous people lived precariously, middle-class people often aided by their religions are just about establishing themselves in their private strongholds.
