Progressive, like queer rights are the most important political matter for me.
Current system is a failure (the nordic model for me), people are driven into loneliness and even if you work, you can't survive. Salaries aren't high enough. Robots and AI are supposed make it so people can earn more money and do less work. Instead, the owners take all the benefits of automatization making historical profits and workers are left with nothing but poverty. Then the rich oppose to every form of social benefits to the workers they exploit. This is wrong and needs to be stopped or we will destroy ourselves.
I also want to live in a commune or a yurt village or whatever because it's too damn lonely here. So many people would feel better if there was a possbility to prepare meals with others, do daily tasks with others' help, fill boring moments with games and song... But instead we are sitting in our tiny apartments all alone and maybe drinking ourselves blackout drunk to get even a shiver of freedom from this depressing, meaningless existence
