I know right, people hold elaborate ceremonies that cost many thousands of dollars and invite all their family and friends for sometimes a week at a time just to announce, “Hey everybody, we’re fucking!” They even get small children to participate in these shameless sex rituals, they should all be locked up for child abuse.

The lonelier we are, the more profitable we are and the less power we have.
You could argue that a lot of this was just a gradual evolution of society into a form that suits the ruling class, but also neoliberalism was a deliberate project to bring this about.
