The destruction of the nuclear family and traditional family values finally rears its ugly head.
- Apocryphon 4y agoThe nuclear family was already a postwar, industrial era, departure from traditional family values. Traditional societies almost universally prioritize multigenerational households.

- Apocryphon 4y agoWe’re not moving towards it at all. Just saying it’s a short-sighted anachronism to claim that nuclear families somehow represent traditional values.
