If your local town zoning forbids you from building
detached accessory buildingsaccessory dwelling units for having your nephew live in, change the fucking zoning. Community is facilitated by convenience, and living within a stone’s throw from loved ones is great way to build community.That is happening in some places. Accessory dwelling units (the term of art in planning and zoning worlds) are being allowed more and more. Things change slowly in the urban planning and zoning world, though.
Consider the destruction of OkCupid as an attack against its liberal-skewed user base.

Twitter.
Yes! I’m not crazy. All the liberal spaces have been slowly disappearing and it feels like they’re being taken over every time under the guise of capitalism. I’m not one to call a conspiracy, but…
You don’t need a conspiracy when everybody’s working from the same playbook.
Capitalism is part of it. Spending too much time on the internet and social media is a hell of a lot more of it.
Capitalism bastardised the internet to be like this. There was a communal web in the making.

Yeah, but describing the problem as a problem of capitalism makes it sound inescapable and unfixable without a complete overhaul of society.
In reality you just need to get off social media and stop scrolling.
I believe capitalism is the problem, and should be replaced by a retroactively-estimating value-production reward-system. Only the economy is overhauled, not society.
Yes, but social media is the problem in your life that you can change today. Capitalism is a system that will take, at minimum, years to replace.
