The May 2021 American Perspectives Survey finds that Americans report having fewer close friendships than they once did, talking to their friends less often, and relying less on their friends for personal support.
I don’t think you should blame people for the alienation imposed on them by capitalism. The US has almost no social support structures or places to meet friends outside of school or work. Even those that want to are unable because of long working hours and exhaustion.
The article talks about how many people, young women especially, have lost touch with their close friends during covid, and are suffering from alienation. Why was your first reaction to call them assholes?
And yes hegemonic capitalist culture can produce and encourages ppl to be individualistic obviously, but its extremely insensitive to victim blame here, especially when it comes to mental well being.

I’m not blaming the people, the capitalist culture does this to people, I’m just pointing out that’s the reaction

I have autism and misunderstood your comments probably because of it, oops.
Are they assholes or aren’t they?
Western culture produces assholes don’t they? Do I have to explain the culture here now?

They’re being an edgelord in multiple threads rn. Having autism is not a license to say harmful or reactionary things.
