At least back then kids weren’t cutting themselves because of depression at age 11 or 12 nor were they killing themselves because of the same reason at age 16-17, and I’m talking about cases that I know directly (mean not read in the media). So, yes, the condition of children in our society was included in my original thought. But me wanting for us to resume the (even extended) family as a solution to that problem would get me branded almost on the spot as at least right-wing adjacent by what now stands for “centrists”, because “family values” as a whole are now associated to right-wing-ism. I could give at least two, three other examples (probably more) of stuff that I believe in which would probably get me branded as left-wing, stuff that used to be the domain of common sense, of the political center, until a few decades ago even in the West (for example affordable housing for all is being more and more associated with being left-wing, that wasn’t always the case).
