The cause isn’t social media, social media simply prevents the terrible shit going on from being filtered out of their awareness by major news orgs. The cause is rampant disregard for looming environmental devastation, a society that is feudal at best, and the sense that everyone running the world hasn’t got a clue and so has siloed themselves into their small set of responsibilities and disregards every other axis of thought and concern. The kids see what’s wrong. The large scale effort to throw pills and other off the shelf mental health suppressive treatments at them is only masking their legitimate anxiety and reasonable loss of all sense of order and a future within the context presented them by the hapless adults. Kids are spot on to be freaking out, and honestly they would be justified in trying to grind the entire society to a halt until these issues are taken seriously.
