You know nothing about me so your presumptions are at best an indication of poor reasoning.
This isn’t happening in all capitalist nations and absolutely happens in non-capitalist cultures. The collapse of communities can happen for many reasons. For the USA, which has traditionally been very religious, I suspect much if it has to do with people not forming communities to replace the religious ones previous generations had.
I get that ML circles tend to lead to an extremely narrow focus and discourage independent thought but you can choose to not be “that guy”. As a Marxist you probably shouldn’t be calling anyone’s world view “ignorant” given the history of Marxism’s failures.
Youtube is never a good source for academic discussions. There is no reason to consider the source as having a valid or informed opinion on the issue. Finally, it doesn’t address the fact that this happens in other non-capitalist systems and does not happen in all systems.
The sources are given below the video. YouTube is a great source for academic discussions. Universities host forums on there. His opinion is informed(see sources.). Just because loneliness and depression happens in other systems doesn’t negate the fact that it is endemic to capitalism. What system doesn’t have mental health issues.? The point is that capitalism compounds the issue. Maybe instead of dismissing the proposition, do some investigating to find out if it’s true. Just a suggestion.
If it is a feature of capitalism why is it not found in all capitalist systems? Why did it take centuries to come about?
You not willing to see a thing because it doesn’t fit in with your narrow and wilfully ignorant world view, doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

Youtube is a poor source because it is harder to check questionable claims in video than in print. That is why youtube isn’t a good source.
