  • I can see why they might think that. Churches bred and centeralised community. But it can happen anywhere, in Australia, where we have very few churches, communities center around sports clubs.

    IMO, materialism and modernism has changed the populous’ focus away from community, shifting to the values of capital (which serves only capital) and forcing everyone into a 40 hour work week. While financial independence from a majoritively abusive male cast, a female member of each household could maintain social connections to their community and share in unpaid labour with households nearby. [To disuade docwhistle; the neo liberal solution to this is a 4 day week (not tradwives).]

    There is simply no way to have societal mental health without community.

    However, people who feel safe and supported by their communities are more difficult to manipulate and dominate, they are harder to proffit from as they pool their resources and keep their money within their community. As such, I do not think we will see a solution to this problem under the current system.
