Is A Nuclear Family Of 3+ Even Fucking Healthy or NORMAL?steemCreated with Sketch.

I really don't think it's healthy the way our society tells us to raise kids and live in society.  We're social creatures, and the powers in control have separated us into little bits (which are easier to control)


Reason 1: It's Just Not Normal

Humans aren't made to live by themselves. We've ALWAYS, throughout our evolution, lived in communities or 30-200 people.  When we were hunter gatherers, we did everything as a community. Child caring and even breastfeeding was shared among all pregnant women. No one "owned" anything. We could rely on our friends, and our community.

Reason 2: Increased Isolation and Loneliness

We already have way too much of this in our world. Depression, anxiety, suicide. Keeping us isolated from the rest of our community eventually leads to so much emotional and mental distress. Right? So why are we doing this to ourselves?

Conspiracy Reason 3

Keeping us separate weakens us as a species. If those in power want a malleable people to control and impose their will upon, then keeping us in little groups is the way to go. 

Solution:

We much go back to our ancestral ways. Reaching out to others more. Finding our unique community.  It is harder and harder to do so, because everyone is so disconnected on their phones. Or even look at building or joining an already established community, and maybe move there on their land.  That is my goal.

So so so true @flexifriday ! Great article! Not many people realize that there's a massive agenda and propaganda industry aimed at breaking down family unit, which is the only unit standing in between them controlling us totally. That's why Hollywood produces shit, why fashion degrades women, why advertising makes all shit moves against family values look cool. Following you now. 100% upvote

Yes yes and yes!

I agree that community is good and it's a big part in raising up, and I think that being alone is also important because sometimes I need time for myself to calm down and relax without people around me who wants interaction.

Yes, introversion vs extroversion.

Yes, both are essential in a good upbringing. I agree.

Totally agree. That's why the media focuses on bad news and gives months of attention to a cop shooting trying play the racist card, to separate the masses.

Exactly.

I've thought about this a lot. We're so connected electronically, and yet somehow we've been driven to live lives that are isolated and lonely, in the belief that it's our right as "individuals" somehow.

Camille Paglia talks in her videos about how the old-school European families maintain their roles and culture, even doing things as simple as going to the park in huge numbers to spend a day together. And yet most Americans just sneer at these more traditional arrangements.

And they're the ones most content, happy, and probably live longer with less rates of mental illness. Thanks for sharing!

Mexico dude. They are still people, you go outside and food is everywhere. You never feel lonely. It's this lifestyle that creates that. Spending all day on the computer is not good for you and Facebook is the worst.

I only want some groups. The feed is the worst.
