Nothing is more depressing than talking to US Americans about what they imagine a return to communal life would look like. Lots of Type 1 fun and ego-syntonic ideas, IE "everybody will do things with me that aesthetically please me."
Like... go talk to people who live in actually communal societies. It's very often Type 2 and ego-dystonic, like "shuffle around in the cold rain while you and your cousin do X because your uncle says so," or "host a distant relative in your home for a long time."
I'll believe that US Americans are ready for communal lifestyles when they start making love love love songs about family bonds rather than individual romances.
