This isn't even a good article, but we all kinda know it. The suburb, the detached single family home, the kitchen, the laundry room, the garage, the car, they're all anti-culture weapons designed to destroy human beings and make consumers out of their bones.

Like ha ha ha I am detached and ironic but god it hurts so much having to live in this fucking anti-human nightmare society knowing that fascists turned the whole country in a labyrinth with the express purpose of creating exhausted, lonely, isolated, helpless people. It's a nightmare. It's a nightmare.

I don’t even know if it’s the single-family house in and of itself, but more the way they’re laid out in the larger urban planning scheme. There’s been single-family houses in political economies before capitalism, but the layout of them in the community was optimized for, well, strong communities. The suburbs are laid out so that each cookie cutter house is its own little fiefdom, an estate cut off from everyone else and removed from the sort of businesses and institutions that could foster greater community cohesion.
