Is the #loneliness crisis rooted in capitalism? Maybe!

One thing #capitalism HATES is community bc it can provide things for free that capitalism would rather sell you, but also would rather you never actually get so that you'll keep buying: emotional support, friends, sex, family, etc. It's called #atomization, making us all little allegedly separate particles rather than a society.

We're lonely, I'd argue, bc society has been replaced by buying things.
