I know right, people hold elaborate ceremonies that cost many thousands of dollars and invite all their family and friends for sometimes a week at a time just to announce, "Hey everybody, we're fucking!" They even get small children to participate in these shameless sex rituals, they should all be locked up for child abuse.
Ban marriage.
You know its basically an MLM scam for rings and jewelry? Marriage wasn’t big with rings until jewelry companies thought they could capitalize on it. Modern day marriages are scams to get people to pay a lot of money for an excuse.
It's also the smallest community unit that we can reasonably be broken up into whilst still reproducing labourers for the economy.
The more society is ground down and split apart the less we can help one another out of solidarity, and the more we have to spend on housing, transport, and every other appliance that needs to be duplicated for each separate dwelling, and the more dependent we are on money, capital and the state to provide for our needs. The lonelier we are, the more profitable we are and the less power we have.
You could argue that a lot of this was just a gradual evolution of society into a form that suits the ruling class, but also neoliberalism was a deliberate project to bring this about. Thatcher knew what she was doing when she said, "There is no such thing as society, there are individual men and women and there are families."
