Maybe it’s because neoliberal economical policies (deregulation, austerity, lower taxes for the rich) has accelerated economical inequality in developed nations such as the US and UK, and the majority of the working class people are no longer able to pay for critical services such as healthcare and education. And the establishment has been so quiet about this issue and just acting as everything’s perfectly fine, and smartphones are the “real” reason people are so depressed. The basic reasons behind today’s societal depression and eventual political instability can really be explained with simple economics, even if you ignore the cultural changes that neoliberal ideology have brought.
