Social media has destroyed all community ties

These days there is no community anymore.
People just wageslave, go to the gym, go home and sit on the phone, feed their pets or kids. They don't have any friends or group of people they meet or hangout with.
Even when you go to church there is no unity. Everyone is just an individual who shows up, then goes home without a care for anyone else.
Is this an organzied effort or just an incidental result of everyone being on their social media all the time?

Yup, the west has become EXTREMLEY individualised.

Social media/smartphones are not the cause though, they're only catalysts that make things worse. The cause is far left/extreme cultural liberalism + neo liberal capitalism.

Disagreed, lots of unity with family etc, and people have it within their social groups/work/hobbies and whatnot. You just haven't found yours op

It's because when you used to be in a room talking to people, they couldn't censor you at the click of a button.

My elderly mom finally stopped going to church last year because she said it felt awkward with the forced distance seating and masks. I always knew church was just as much (if not more) of a social affair for people as it is a religious one. It's unfortunate.

Originally I think the behavior that you describe was incidental resulting from social media, but now it's become a tool just like MSM (may as well be the same thing) to push agendas and mantras. Keep people busy with the rat race and divided.
drvillain PM's mods to do his bidding - CONFIRMED.

Thats what American "freedom" has always been leading up to. None of you cucks were intelligent enough to realize this many years ago.

Hyper individualism leads to isolated and socially inept humans. Remember that you all wanted this.

This is mostly prevalent in western, capitalist, liberal countries. You are overworked and have no time for friends and family, yet you have the freedom of living entirely by yourself without relying on anyone. You have social media to replace social contact because your closest friend or family lives hours away from you. Believe it or not, people in "****hole" countries have far healthier social lives and relations. We ****ed up, need to go back to monke.
