I had a discussion on another social platform, in which we came to an hypothesis for that phenomenon : We now have two or three generations of very educated urban denizens which have lived in relatively efficient but very wealthy social machines - modern western-model cities. These machines were made to make their life safe and easy. A necessary side effect, needed to remove social friction, is the progressive removing of personal responsibility. After all, modern institutions are really able to get "into" and meddle with the private/family sphere, for better or worse. In addition to that, the hard-knocks/social struggle/unionized western left of yore figuratively "nannied" or "helicopter parented" their children way past reason - often 10 years or more after biological adolescence ends. As a consequence, we live with gigantic proportion of 20-45 year olds which "fail to adult". They are used to devolve a lot of responsibility to state institution which they need to implicitly trust. They fail to mentally separate social rules from their actual applications. They also fail to mentally separate both from the actual people enforcing said rules. To them, rules equals institutions and automatic respect thereof. Large scale TV, Media and internet operations are such institutions for them. These beliefs "in the system", really, acts as a psychological pacifier : "everything is alright, somebody is in charge". If they released their own grip on that beliefs, the cognitive dissonance, and terror, would be too big. No need for a totalitarian "patriarchal" violent and overbearing state to impose such mental constructions.Turns out that a totalitarian suffocating "matriarchal" nanny state works much better. In an ironic almost twist of fate, they also give the same trust, deference and belief to private organizations and institutions, such as corporations. That phenomenon is actually almost fascist (old style) in nature, which is very frightening to me.
