I am suggesting that there are people who want things this way, yes. Over the last 20 years especially, it seems there are similar interests going after institutions that often bring communities together, schools, churches, sports, etc. The more isolated people are from their local community, the more they are driven online where social media and forums will have more influence. When you step back and look at everything that goes on, it's hard to ignore and the result is people who are more detached with fewer friends, isolated and lonely. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/11/friendships-less-is-now-more/ https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/11/friendships-less-is-n... https://www.npr.org/2023/10/25/1208572681/friends-friendship-meet-up-research-pew-health-benefits https://www.npr.org/2023/10/25/1208572681/friends-friendship... https://www.euronews.com/health/2023/02/15/fewer-friends-less-time-to-hang-out-what-data-says-of-our-friendships-post-pandemic-world https://www.euronews.com/health/2023/02/15/fewer-friends-les... https://www.vox.com/23130613/fewer-friends-how-many https://www.vox.com/23130613/fewer-friends-how-many https://nypost.com/2021/07/27/americans-have-fewer-friends-than-ever-before-study/ https://nypost.com/2021/07/27/americans-have-fewer-friends-t...
