As the home has broken apart, public education and mass advertising have created peer culture. The results have been apparent for awhile and are disastrous. Peer segregation, lacking intergenerational verticality, is destroying people. https://twitter.com/dcintra/status/1327986281029263363
Skeptical how bad it is? Lately there has been thread after thread of someone suffering the collapse of parenting, the collapse of teaching family formation, and the inability of urban roommate culture to provide emotional long-term meaning and stability. https://twitter.com/sonyasupposedly/status/1327771944188448768

Thousands of people desperate to talk to each other about how they will visit their parents in their nursing home, but their parent's refusal to parent means their will be no one to visit them as they age https://twitter.com/barf_captain/status/1326927077182943240
Women trying to broach the Porn is Good wall to talk about why sex positivism is leading to ever-greater taboo breaking, and, um, death: https://twitter.com/Wecantconsentto/status/1326201324061544448

A woman tries to tell others that the sexually liberation she was promised seemed fun but just led to a bunch of predator men using women until they could dispose of them. She's battered for it. https://twitter.com/GwendolynKansen/status/1295872669229907969
Women are struggling to articulate that the lack of commitment, which has turned the foundational relationships of society into a perpetual carnival leading to frenzied misery, impacts people's ability to consent. She gets in trouble. https://twitter.com/lethal_heroine/status/1326715575435988992
The multiplication of choice leads to feeling you have no choice at all. This intelligent woman feels pressured to join something like the sexual alternative community.
