To try to draw the analogy over to real life, there's the rapid urbanization that society went through 100 years ago during the advent of the great depression and WW2. This instigated a drastic cultural shift, where most families no longer lived on farms, husbands worked long hours away from home and not with their sons, and young boys are mostly raised by women both at home and in school by the teachers who are predominantly women. I'm pulling this idea from the book "No More Mr. Nice Guy" by Robert Glover, but the thought is that young men don't receive the proper fathering they need, and so they wind up being less secure and more confused in their own masculinity, and therefore less confident, and therefore more estranged from the society they live in, which all in all means they wind up being worse fathers themselves, and so on and so forth.
So, in other words, it's Hitler's fault.
For the USA, the rapid urbanization begins after the Russian revolution and WWI, as the turmoils in Eastern & Southern Europe, Eastern Asia and the advent of steamships regularly ferrying people from the old world to the new world - certainly before Hitler's rise to power, while most other countries experienced this urbanization into truly modern cities as early as the 17th century with all its attendant changes to the social unit in society. I also do not like this focus for it does not factor in where generations had the previous generation of fathers wiped out and turned out fine, while further implying that sons raised by mothers and female teachers will be insecure because their expectations of masculinity cannot be taught by women; despite the expectations being mostly societal, or instinctive. Likewise while kids from single mother households on average experience greater incidents of mental illness or anguish in life, that most will turn out all right despite the total absence of a father must surely show that this is an incredibly important factor, but not the deciding factor, especially considering how they number
hundreds of thousands in the UK, millions in USA and Europe and hundreds of thousands in Japan. You also don't have to look too far on any online platform like reddit, facebook or imgur to find people who regularly go on about how they're barely functioning in life. My own theory:
-Total breakdown of the extended family in both Western and Eastern civilizations, all care of children and elderly falls to the state.
-The state is not an adequate substitute, if it is not the state of a nation which has also transferred this assumed responsibility to the private sector.
-Generational contempt for young people, levying all future consequences of debt, energy, poor personal development prospects and foreign policy as issues for future generations to suffer. Aka Boomers
-Economic cost of raising a family has gone from 1 parent working to support husband, wife and 8 kids, to two partners working full time just to pay off their student debts; if both partners are willing to even form a relationship.
-Young people are hypersocialized from the earliest age, with kids raised from babyhood to adulthood on smartphones and social media, do not learn how to interact with other people in the real world. I've seen this all too disappointingly much, where kids I'd seen take their first steps reached the point where they learned from the internet and stopped being able to interact with one another.
-Young people are hypersexualized from the earliest age, with kids raised from childhood to adulthood on pornography whilst they are maturing, leading to porn addictions, desensitization to all but the most decadent and obscure fetishes, addiction to viagra and parents either apathetic, clueless or encouraging of this. Shit's absolutely buggered
-Loss of purpose in all previous cultural, religious and economic milestones which granted senses of worth for ordinary individuals; new ones have not emerged to replace them in an age where cultures are sold or destroyed by previous generations or held in contempt by their current holders, religions diverging between their suicidal and their zealous sects, and economic milestones like embarking upon a prestigious career or owning a home unreachable or too costly to pursue. Careers like becoming a doctor or nurse for example, previous generations in the UK were paid to train, now young people pay to train and then do years of punishing labour with low pay; it is hard for them to be proud of the service they devote their lives to in such conditions.
-Biological clocks and the way our societies encourage tinder match-making and sexual experimenting at University until the 30s narrows unnecessary narrows potential pairs, as men in general always select downwards in age, while the recent phenomena of women pursuing higher education at far higher rates at men
creates a dating gap when their general preference is for intellectually equal partners.
-Urban planning, cosmopolitanism and increasing urbanization, turning urban cities into megacities. This can be easily observed in the megacities like London, New York and Tokyo, where millions are always in walking distance of one another but couldn't tell you the name of their next door neighbour or from childhood to death will have never set foot in a forest or taken a sail to sea. Creates low-trust societies in immensely dense but heterogenous localities with socially isolated individuals whose purpose is primarily economic for the state or company, not for their humanity.
-The environment is fucked. Regular pollution, hormone emulators, disrupters in the air, in the water, turning the freaking frogs gay lmao, it's not going to be helping anyone if their psychiatry is being messed up or if they're suffering from unnecessary lung disease.
-Total lack of confidence on every level, mental health issues highest than ever historically recorded, in the UK 1/4 of the total population will report mental illness of some sort annually, while it's 1/6 weekly for England.
-Obesity, kids raised into it, shit's buggered all over the place especially since parents often can't teach their kids how to cook because their parents never taught them.
-The communication echo chamber, where people can get unhealthily drawn into communities which are encouraging a self-destructive lifestyle
-The internet hate machine, where today you can be sanctioned for having made an opinion, and even opinions made in childhood can cause life ruining consequence decades later
I can go on, it's a perfect storm of bullshit that's only getting worse. Point that I'm getting at is, is that everything is going wrong, and they're all fucking it up together. Taken in isolation, each one of these could probably exist without causing this much harm, but that they're all fucking everything together with each reaction feeding into the next volatile reaction, you start seeing crazy shit like this. Like this incel man; it took a combination of mental illness, poor physical health, a non-existent social life, a personal development curve that was a plateau turning into a cliff, an echo-chamber so absorbed in its own irony it encouraged his self-destructive behaviour and he enjoyed it, for the perfect storm of stupidity and idiocy to make another meme killer!
How much easier it would be if it were all the fault of one man!
