Some things can be blamed on the economy — not this. This is a matter of making first things first and not blaming others for our own short comings.
This is connected to economy and politics. Neoliberalism, to be exact. Rugged individualism, individual responsibility, every man for himself… The same myths used for concentrating wealth into teeny tiny minority and making masses poorer, are also making us lonely and isolated.
We are pack animals, we have survived for hundreds of thousands of years (millions if you count non-sapient ancestors) by building communes and taking care of eachother.
Not funny in any way and sad in so many.
Commentary about how isolated men are?
Or commentary that men have become so ineffectual that they cannot create a single meaningful relationship that evolves to the hug level?

I think it’s a comment about this artists need for affection more then a commentary about men in general.
