    I deeply believe that this romantic idea is being pushed onto us so that we don’t complain while the big rich focus on taking over the world.

      What a sad, cynical, point of view. There is nothing that prevents you from trying to achieve riches while having a loving family.

      My fellow human,

      I do not wish to disrespect or discredit your fears and emotions, but I must advise to lay off social media for a while.

      You think that social animals with tight knit family groups posting about the benefits of tight knit family groups is propaganda?

      Just wait until you hear about Big Food and how they’ve manipulated you to eat every day. And don’t get me started on Big Air.

      By “this romantic idea”, do you mean the “richest man in the world” bit? I think people are responding under the impression that you think the idea of romance itself is propaganda, not the idea that romance is equivalent or superior to monetary wealth. That makes a little more sense; “tell them that love is worth more than gold so we can take all the riches”. Not saying I necessarily agree, but it’s certainly a less bleak outlook.

        That would be the gist of it. “Focus on romance lowborns, that’s all you need to be happy”.

        Love and family are great and very likely the best part of our lives, but it doesn’t make us any richer.
