I think that humanity to a large degree simply turned a corner in the last few decades, deciding to just start putting “me” first and to hell with everybody/everything else. It’s all about what “I” want now and couple that with a higher percentage of youth believing that the planet is ecologically doomed, norms and rule of law simply don’t carry the same impact as they used to. Several in my family are career teachers and they all comment they have never in their lifetimes witnessed such a dim view of the future among their students as they are seeing now. And it’s playing out in our streets all the way to the halls of congress.
