Anecdotally it’s the triple whammy of depression/anxiety, social isolation, and scarcity/precarity.
The precariousness I think is more of a factor as the long term poor have still managed to survive historically. The randomness and changing social safety nets and possibility of needing to migrate to survive is probably a big factor.
It feels like we’re all bracing for the end of the world all the time.
Procreation (or lack of it) is voting “no candidate”. It’s the only control anyone has over their life today.
