Near as I can tell, the US is getting hit with massive manipulative propaganda BS, and a lot of people are burnt out and even having PTSD type reactions (See Complex PTSD) to other people because of it.
And unlike other countries, a lot of (in person) social community was already weak, and is getting targeted with this propoganda on
top of that.
So a lot of folks in the US pretty much are staying home because otherwise it’s just too much to handle. And that puts them in the ‘terminally online’ risk category, which also makes it worse.
Add on top of that shitty commutes, expensive daycare, comfortable homes (with AC and all the amenities), and it’s not hard to see why.
