I'm glad people are talking about this.
I think capitalism is extremely isolating.
You have to move for your job, so people have to cut all the ties that they've made, leave their communities, friends, families....all for money.
Sure you can make new ones, but after working and commuting for 8 to 10 hours a day you get home exhausted and on weekends you have to take care of personal errands.
Now multiply this times millions of people, it makes it very hard for multiple people to have the time and energy to forge a friendship that will take effort and time.
Effort and time that people don't really have.
There's tons of studies about how isolated people become after college.
I don't know what the solution is.
Remote work is going to be awesome and huge to help with this.
- collaborative 6y agoI think the post is more about the isolation that comes from utopic ideologies/nationalisms (via displaced "undesirable" persons) than about the failures of capitalism/communism etc. The dark pictures remind me of how an "undesirable" person feels in an intolerant society
