This seems to be rooted in the notion that the liberal upper class benefits by having cohesive families while at the same time saying that divorce doesn’t matter and, in fact, celebrating it. I can’t help but ask you to support that, because it seems like a bizarre claim to me. The only type of person that comes to mind for me when thinking of people that celebrate divorce are people that have been divorced.

Celebrating widespread, no-fault divorce and dismissing the importance of household-scale social cohesion is indeed a key part of the current Zeitgeist amongst intellectual, often left-leaning elites.
- bandyaboot 5y agoIt’s quite possible I missed the relevant evidence as I skimmed through a lot of it. There was certainly a relevant supporting anecdote, but I assume you’re referring to more than that? I won’t bother responding to the part that is essentially “support through repetition”.
