This video's big point: suburbia was intentionally created to divide us and deprive us of community for three big reasons:
- Without community, radical social movements rarely gain traction.
- The class of people who choose this lifestyle become loyalists to the capitalists running things.
- The void left by the lack of community can be "filled" with lucrative consumerism, and it's endless because it never truly fills the void.
The capitalists played the American people and we fell for it. >:(
Suburbia (A Video Essay) — James D
Suburbia: The greatest liminal space of all time. Having grown up in suburbia, I've spent my entire life getting acquainted with the quiet sadness that it exudes. Today we'll be taking a deep dive into the quiet loneliness of Suburbia, and why it is very much intentional.

When it feels like all the world is wearing a frown, put a smile on and spread it around.
With your smile, turn the world upside down. 🙃

Don't you love when it's time for the antennas to all come into bloom? :3
In all seriousness, it's awesome to be back on the airwaves after all this time, and 2-meter is a great place to start! 👍

Kent said this must've happened very recently, as the city is on top of trail maintenance.
