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.

    They don't "lose money" because they aren't selling their home, because they live in it. They don't care. That is what I'm telling you. Most people who own one house that they live in (with some exceptions, although there are opposite exceptions of people who own more than one house) don't care to sell their house or rent it out, because again, that would probably be more of a hassle than it is worth for them, since they'd have to move all their stuff, go somewhere else that they probably don't like as much, and have to pay rent PLUS the taxes they already have to pay for owning a house, so unless their house is already very expensive (in which case they are indeed hard to radicalize, because they're already fucking rich and it's not who we are talking about). Idk why you are acting you found some deep truth or something, it's just not the case.

        They haven't "become", they have been that way for a long time, including when Marx was alive. Idk how I can convince you because you have a weird view of working class home owners that doesn't really correspond to reality.
