    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.

      I don’t use social media (aside from lemmy). I can assure you that the problem is inescapable and unfixable without a complete overhaul of society.

      The problem is capitalism.

            Because you’re making the claim that capitalism inherently leads to loneliness.

            If there are capitalist societies that aren’t lonely then that would indicate that capitalism does not inherently lead to loneliness, or that there are other factors that can address loneliness that are more powerful than capitalism.
