I’ve seen this linked a few times now. It seems to be overly reductive and blames a large societal issue on a singular thing. Which is an immediate red flag as far as ideas go. They also commit errors by confusing correlation and causation.
No mention of the continued decline of material conditions in the west or the growing wealth disparity, for instance. They bring up unemployment rates but then say it can’t be the economy cause unemployment went down, ignoring how unemployment classification changed after 08, and they don’t even mention what unemployment stat they used. Not to mention I can easily say they got work but it was trash and didn’t pay well. Or their parents struggled to make ends meet, were not there for the kids, and they lacked proper parenting. So many other possible explanations.
But, nope, it’s all social media and phones.
