Social media and individualism result in increased isolation, as it tears apart the social fabric of our societies. For many there is not much interaction beyond the family circle. Even neighbours are just strangers. This ultimately will undoubtedly lead to major disruptions and social unrest. How do we go about breaking that cycle and build real communities again?
We don’t need to spend more time with the neighbors.
What we need is a way to deprogram 1/3rd of the neighbors of the belief that anyone in the other 2/3rds is responsible for their plight. If we could knock off the victime blaming circlejerks of society long enough to recognize the very easily identifiable common interests we all have…maybe we’ll pull through.
