Like, why is it so widespread, what causes it, what solutions are available, etc. I don’t really know how to ask this question so I hope I’m making sense

    Except for the fact that loneliness has existed long before capitalism and will continue to do so after its disbandment 🤦

      Capitalism exacerbates a lot of problems. You should try learning how and why rather than just going “nah those problems existed before” (Completely ignoring that they are far worse now than they were before, so fucking obviously something changed)

        Lmao of course you’d say they were worse before😂 even though feudalism was probably the most oppressive system we had as a society. Loneliness rates would’ve been through the roof. Sounds like you’re the one who needs to learn a little bit more

                I’m already quite open to socialism, but touting capitalism as the source of all your problems is becoming dogma at this point

                  I normally agree, but that also doesn’t mean that it’s always wrong. Many problems have multiple factors that encourage them and our economic system defines a lot of modern life. It’s bound to affect a lot of things.
