Facts, the most sensible gun legislation in this country’s history came after the Black Panthers formed.

Yeah lmao people with mental health issues should just get over it

Lmao yeah sure, conpared to now, where the government sets taxes and you pay it already? That doesn’t sound much different tbh

Currency, the term you are looking for is currency.

The way you exchange value for goods and services without needlessly attaching an energy wasting puzzel game to it is to not do it!

Just have physical or digital currency in USD or some other real world currency that doesn’t require a blockchain and doesn’t have its amount artificially capped by processing power. It’s a dumb idea made by con men to take money from people.

People are also more poor in general.

Wages have been stagnating for over 50 years.

Independence requires financial independence.

It’s not possible to meaningfully participate in society without disposable income.

This leads to the avg person having less power and influence than almost any of their ancestors.

Unfortunately nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

How much time do you willingly spend in public interacting with others?

There was a lot more of it happening before society required everyone to have personal transportation.

I’m an introvert so I am at home, work, or errands. I probably would talk to a lot more strangers if I had to use public transport and it wasn’t so expensive to do anything fun in public.

Generally if there is a massive trend in society then only systemic changes will change that trend.

Sure it would be nice if every incel worked out, microdosed mushrooms and became more selfless people, but that’s not something that will happen.

One thing that would fix a lot of this would be the government better regulating dating apps, since that’s how the vast majority of people meet their partners now.
