It was really jarring when they started locking up the razors and requiring an employee unlock the case. The idea of placing the antitheft tags on like a bag of cheetos is so dystopian but at this point I'm not surprised. It's going to get worse and we will see them expand their control over us with this shit. I don't know how much further this can get but I also don't believe in the American people to do anything meaningful to resist this for a while.

We're a surplus population that isn't needed combined with a consumer market. If the capitalists needed Americans to be a healthy and productive workforce then we would have cheaper healthcare. Like fundamentally they don't care about us and all of neoliberalism is just looting society at large because it doesn't matter. To people like Thatcher society didn't even really exist.
Buddy, I was born to piss.
A Mormon church is a weird target. What are the chances this is chud on chud violence? Mormons are weird and weren't really viewed well a lot of American Christians until recently.
Survivorship bias
People seem to be forgetting movies. Studio Ghibli is very well known for making quality movies like Spirited Away. I also enjoyed Look Back (deals with loss) and A Silent Voice (this movie starts with a suicide attempt and very brutal bullying) which are both pg13 and probably outside her current interests. I also liked the show 86 (anti racist in a more liberal way).
I'd like to find her some good anime to watch, that isn't full of the typical borderline porno stuff it seems is popular with G*mers.
A quick visual que I use to gauge anime is the hemline on women's clothes (less obvious compared to every character having giant tits). The lower it is the less likely it's got bad shit in it. Like there are good anime where the women's skirts are above the knee but it tells me roughly how much anime bullshit I'll need to put up with.
Edit: Also there are some battle shonen that feel partially like ads for the Japanese Self Defense Force in the same way American movies are ads to join the military. Might come up depending on what she naturally watches and I'd assume you're against that kind of thing given where we are.
No, neoliberals won so hard that in 2008 the economy had an integer overflow error on that caused the global financial crisis. This gives a false impression to anyone stupid enough to question the perfect system. We only know winning and will never see an ideology based around selfishness and looting society for your own personal benefit collapse.
They have a few links to see the data on the website and it looks like young people and 30-44 years old are below average for time spent alone but have noticeably gone up. Older people were already pretty high and remain higher than young people. Young people were the only ones that really could increase like that without a mass movement of boomers becoming shutins.
I think the polycrisis, or whatever it's best called, makes most issues have like a dozen interlocking and self reinforcing causes and effects. The nihilism in culture makes us hedonistic and slop oriented which makes us dumber which makes us unfulfilled which makes depressed which makes us hedonistic and so on with every issue. Kids can definitely see there being no good future for the Great Satan.

Yeah, shit's fucked. The UK and EU aren't as far into the neoliberal rot so it surprises me that I'm hearing about it happening outside of the US before hearing about it happening in the US. Anyway, stay strong.
