Notice that the antiestablishment movement is not about fixing something but taking down the current state(the individual fractions have different ideas on the fix but they unite on the destruction). Not having the moral high grounds enables that because you no longer have a discussion over how to solve issues, everything is about destroying the current order(since it's completely corrupt and immoral, beyond any repair).
You're mistaking a prevailing attitude today for some "antiestablishment movement". You're right that a lack of moral compass is causing our society to degrade. But "the establishment" and "the barbarians" is essentially the same group - anyone with power or a platform today has learned to package themselves as against some "system" whenever it's convenient and things being bad, it's often convenient (plenty of "rogue CIA officers doing what "the system" won't do to defend America" types out there - they have had publicity with shows like "24" as well). Of course, the prevalence of and even admiration for, unprincipled chameleons is a way this society is degrading as well. But it's situation anyone would have trouble walking back.
