I hate that I live in a world where people get a dog because socialization is so broken and a nameless interaction at a park is among the barrel-scraping interactions people are doing to cope with it. Like if it's gotten that bad we should be having a revolution, not getting dogs.

Revolutions need targets. What's the target for how socialization has gone the past few decades? What material, unpopular opinion entity can be abolished to fix things?

If it was easy to have a target we'd have had the revolution by now. That's why it's taking so long: no one's quite sure what to do about it.

My money's on "social revolution where we all destroy our TVs and unplug our internet and throw away our phones" as the best way out.

But there's a lot of other things that need revolutioning at once. It's gonna take a big movement.

So, it will work like "the war on terror"?

You're not even trying to converse, go away.
