Probably when I debated with some kids that thought capitalism is the root cause of loneliness. My point was that loneliness was a condition of being alive- not a result of a system of government. Besides… There’s loneliness in communist countries too. Safe to say capitalism cased that? Shit… Even animals get lonely. I’m pretty sure animals don’t really have a concept of the inner workings of capitalism. And even if there is an anecdotal instance or two- it’s still a dumb thing to hang on capitalism.
There’s enough real shit you can pin on capitalism to argue its ineffectiveness. But loneliness?

Loneliness appeared the moment humans stopped living in tribes
Yep. And according to a lot of people on lemmy, that’s around when capitalism must have started.
