Eh, I'm being a tad facetious here. But at the end of the day it's true: When things are going bad for people in general, you will see an uptick in articles actively promoting anti-social behavior and lifestyle choices. You will also see an uptick of articles glamorizing childlessness in these times. It's not an illogical leap to say this is done on purpose to isolate and marginalize people that may otherwise be outspoken and organize collective action. At this point, I honestly see these articles as pre-indicators of a recession, based on historical observations in my old age, which is basically like the original person who touched on that very thread. I guess if it was too hyperbolic to see my point, sorry I guess? The point stands though.
