So there is a loneliness epidemic caused by capitalist alienation. However, I wonder if lack of material conditions also adds to this. I just keep seeing lots of my broke guy friends depressed because they can’t find a partner and it is so hard for them to meet new people. This makes me wonder if their financial situation is the main reason.

    It is unfortunate that just physically being around other people is both difficult to make time for and often impractical in the atomized and alienated work/school conditions that people are forced into if they’re in any sort of economic precarity.

    Simply put, we shouldn’t have to live like that.
