NextImg:Loneliness is Impacting Americans at a Record Rate - The Conservative Brief

New research shows just how many Americans are now living alone. This can be somebody’s individual choice, but on a medical level, it’s not healthy.

Having few or no friends and living alone harms your physical and mental health, taking years off your life. Let’s take a look at this sad crisis.

New research in the book “Going Solo” by Eric Klinenberg takes a look at the loneliness crisis. As Klinenberg finds, around 30% of Americans now live alone, by far the highest rate in history.

Klinenberg is a sociologist at New York University. He calls the new change “stunning” and the largest change in the past century in terms of how people live.

Klinenberg says we as a society need to start taking this change much more “seriously” if we want to address it and deal with the challenges that come from people living alone.

This isn’t just impacting elderly folks, either. More and more younger kids, teens, and young and middle-aged adults are finding themselves spending more time alone or with fewer friends.

The impacts of this are enormous on society as a whole.

Whether you believe we were made by God or evolution (or both), humans are designed by nature to live in groups. Ever since records and historical evidence have existed, homo sapiens have existed as a group.

In terms of US history, that’s been true stretching all the way back to the Native American tribes and the Puritans who came to Plymouth.

Until very recently, people lived with their family, with a small minority of usually very elderly or mentally unwell people living alone. In 1940 that number was 8%.

After the hippie drug and abortion changes of the 1960s, the rate of those living alone grew to 18%.

By 1980, half of adult women were working and more people than ever started living alone, including kids spending more and more time alone.

By 2022, the poison set in and the number was over 29%. It’s only grown in the past year.

You combine this with Americans marrying less and later in life, having far fewer kids, Americans getting older, and you have a very serious problem.

The globalists know this and are looking to take advantage of it and use it for their agenda.

Europe is in an even worse situation than America. In Finland, 45% of people live alone; in Germany 42%, in Sweden 40%, in Norway 39%.

Living alone for too long takes years off your life and directly contributes to increased rates of depression and anxiety.
