Feeling Lonely
-
Aww, I didn't know that about OKC. I met my wife on there in 2015, married in 2017, and had our first kid in 2019. Of all the dating sites, it was the best for weeding out what I wanted in a partner. I hate capitalism even more now.
It's still better than the alternatives. But it got massively enshittified over the years

Is that something someone needs in order to criticize it? Why?
wrote last edited by [email protected]Because you're making the claim that capitalism inherently leads to loneliness.
If there are capitalist societies that aren't lonely then that would indicate that capitalism does not inherently lead to loneliness, or that there are other factors that can address loneliness that are more powerful than capitalism.

It is by design, but unless you wanna rot in your basement until you expire, it's up to you to defy the pushes of the system to complacency. Going out and making some friends with a common interest immediately improves your life.

I have no friends
This is the difference between the individual and the systemic. Sure, the system is putting pressures that make the past of least resistance to be friendless and alone. But you have the power to fight that, and if you want your life to be better, you absolutely must. I believe in you

I don't use social media (aside from lemmy). I can assure you that the problem is inescapable and unfixable without a complete overhaul of society.
The problem is capitalism.
I have no issues with human connection, but I am also subject to capitalism.

Yes! I'm not crazy. All the liberal spaces have been slowly disappearing and it feels like they're being taken over every time under the guise of capitalism. I'm not one to call a conspiracy, but...
You don't need a conspiracy when everybody's working from the same playbook.
