We're as atomized and alienated as ever, but now we also can't afford to buy a house or raise kids. Libs will celebrate this.

    Ugh the death of the nuclear family was a small blip of hope in this hell world but you're right; it's just the death of the family part not the nuclear part. We are more nuclear if anything...

      I don't want to come off the wrong way in this thread; the nuclear family structure is shit and we should always strive towards more communal and egalitarian relations. I'm just worried what we're getting in its place is just as far from that goal. Same patriarchal structure, just with more precarity.

      Or maybe I'm wrong, Idk I'm just here to stoke a struggle session.

        We should have seen the writing on the wall and got real fucking concerned when corporations started appropriating familial language.
