    Responses to this comment are why intelligent discussion around this and many topics like it are worthless to have on Lemmy. There is an echo chamber here way larger and more insular than there ever was on Reddit.

    The Lemmy hive mind is of a single perspective. It is best to ignore discussion around serious topics on this site, unfortunately.

      I mean while I agree with you on the surface, that dude is comparing old Soviet Union life to modern American life… it’s pretty obvious those two things are very different.

        Oh I completely agree with you. But the comments against it are ridiculous.

        For decades, young people lived with roommates yet this is completely ignored. I grew up with roommates. My parents did too. So did their parents. But reading these comments makes it sound like the expectation is to turn 18 and be handed the keys to a 1 BR in a nice area.

        Just ridiculous. And every single topic in this site is the same.

          I don’t know about all that I think most of the angst or anger comes from the fact that they’d have to work like a hundred and something hours a week just to afford a one bedroom.

            Right and that is understandable. My point is that if you are working min wage, you can’t afford a 1BR and should live with roommates.
