This is just the old Chomsky false conscious argument which is as wrong now as ever. Nothing is stopping you from living frugally and valuing friends and family

This is just the old Chomsky false conscious argument which is as wrong now as ever. Nothing is stopping you from living frugally and valuing friends and family. The economic structure doesn’t prevent that, in fact it’s generally easier to live with parents if you get along well.
Other people just want other things, and that’s OK too.
- hotpotamus 3y ago> it’s generally easier to live with parents if you get along well Yeah, but American/human mating rituals being what they are, it's not like you'll be getting married and having kids in that situation.
- ch4s3 3y agoI wouldn't say this is necessarily universal or a fixed cultural feature. Lots of couple in the US live with a parent or parents.
