(CW: Misogyny) Shit like this is why Kamala might win. Republicans are deeply abnormal and unappealing people.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I don't think so. Suburbs are very child-unfriendly, for example, and this, I think, is one of the most important factors for the rise of socially maladjusted people. The capitalist economy is also much harder for people with children.
That's probably true these days. I grew up in a neighborhood, and it was just like the boomers say. Playing until the street lights came on, all the kids were close enough to my age... We played street hockey and skateboarded. Lots of neighborhood wide games of hide and seek. The neighbors mostly knew each other
Our lives were a little less atomized back then, and the economy wasn't completely soul crushing.
Inner ring or pre 1990s suburbs are pretty child friendly. I see kids about 8+ going to the park or 711 or whatever. The problem is you're not going to get a 3500 sq ft house on half an acre of unused land in these places and that's what people wanted up until fairly recently.
