I believe this is only part of the greater equation stacked against us younger generations. I'm in-between millennial and gen z, so I have an interesting perspective being on the cusp of this all unfolding before my very eyes. The list includes not only these traits, but also our education system, the splintering of the nuclear family, internet culture and social media influence, and the overall state of the workforce / economy at large.

Our education system has been flattened to meet the needs of the lowest common denominator. How did it happen? Well, thanks to our lovely pal George W Bush, he forced education to be a federally controlled system with the "No Child Left Behind" Act. No longer are we trying to help kids achieve what is necessary of them to succeed in life. Instead, school has been retrofitted around the concept of "National Testing," which forces curriculums to revolve around preparing for these tests rather than preparing students with the knowledge that is necessary for success. So, even though states decide what is necessary for their schools to receive state funding, the federal government still has final say since they dictate the national tests that determine what states get in federal funding. Better test results equals more funding, and how do you get better test results? By teaching what is necessary to pass the tests, ie, the federal curriculum. And guess how most states get funding for schools? Federal funding. So, by design, we aren't teaching our best and brightest to their fullest, instead we're pushing everyone along, specifically our dumbest, at the expense of our best and brightest. It's not so much a participation trophy type mentality, but rather a "make metrics look better by having everyone graduate" mentality. How do you do that? By making education as easy as necessary to let our dumbest graduate. What does that do? Makes everyone stupid in the process since they're only learning what the dumb are capable of learning. In turn, this also means there isn't time in the curriculum to learn actual life changing information (philosophy and home ec, specifically). Throw in the fact that they banned religion and continually ban history and older media in the pursuit of "political correctness," and you have a greater picture of how our education system is designed to let us down.

Now, how does splintering the nuclear family play into this? Well, if Mom and Dad are both busy working, then there isn't anyone to teach the kids but the schools themselves. Our schools are raising us and everyone else's kids because children's parents are too busy to teach them anything, let alone help them with their studies. Parents are completely disconnected from the education their children are receiving, and as a result, children are being groomed into obedient slaves to a system they were purposely uneducated on to ensure their mental enslavement.

This also leaves children completely to their own devices, literally and figuratively. Television, video games, and the books they are being shown are all tailored with DEI and SJW wokeness in mind. How do you get funding for anything nowadays, even as a company? By having a high credit score, and for business' that also includes having a high social credit score, aka, conforming to DEI standards. So, as we've been witnessing over the past 10+ years, slowly but surely, companies have not only been infiltrated by woke-types, they're also being pressured by big finance to conform or go under from a lack of funding. Thus, we have the endless barrage of woke-drivel being forced into every cultural medium. Companies aren't doing this because they believe these things, they do it because it gives them funding and access to easy money. The big dogs and top finance companies, in my opinion, are also doing this not only to brainwash younger generations with this mindset, but also to ensure these assets crash and burn and can then be swallowed up on the cheap. They get a triple whammy in their pursuit of control: brainwash the youth, splinter the masses (and families) on culture issues, and control more assets for cheap.

What about social media and influencers? Social media users conformed entirely, partially because of bot farms pushing specific narratives and attacking those who don't support that narrative (see the "Dead Internet Theory"), but also because of people's fear of offending others. This one comes from the education system and woke media pushing people to believe their woke version of the "Original Sin," and therefore everyone who is labeled with some -ism must stand aside and silence themselves, less they want to be mobbed. The grey area of conversation has been completely co-opted, and what we're left with is a "team A vs team B" situation, and you must pick a side (in their worldview). What about influencers? Well, if you want to be an influencer, you have to conform to not only the rules of the platforms they use, but also to the rules that their sponsors follow. No swearing, no use of specific language, no talking about specific topics, unless you want to get banned or blacklisted from receiving any support from these people. Language has been dumbed down because it isn't being taught in school, since the stronger your vocabulary, the more ways you have to express yourself. On top of that, language is also being suppressed, and therefore censored, so even if you have a strong vocabulary, you aren't allowed to use it without fear of offending imbeciles. Mix it all together, and the end result is a world where everyone is at each other's throats, no one knows how to communicate or express themselves, and no one is allowed to have a rationed, nuanced conversation.

Finally, you must consider the state of our economy as a whole. Why try and do anything if inflation is on the rise and we're all too stupid to do anything that requires proper education? We don't know how to or have the courage to educate ourselves on any specific topic. Children have also been taught to look down upon trade work because it's a waste of time and for the dumb, so you must get an education from a federally funded University and continue to be brainwashed with federal curriculums. No matter what school you go to, everyone is buying the same textbooks and being taught the same general course studies. The best Universities and professors are the ones who design the curriculum themselves, and that's becoming harder and harder to come by as these older professors retire, or are forced out, and get replaced with textbook pushers. But even if you decide to forgo higher education, most of our factory jobs and other trade work is being entirely replaced or pushed overseas. Throw in the fact that younger generations watched their families get worked to the bone with nothing to show for it today thanks to inflation, or the fact that recent college grads aren't able to find any kind of job because the markets are oversaturated with dime a dozen college degrees, and it's understandable why young people are left feeling hopeless and without purpose.

So, not only are we having to deal with neurodivergent issues thanks to vaccines and our food like you mentioned, young people aren't being taught the proper things to succeed. Their families have become fragmented due to overworking and cultural nonsense splintering them. Entertainment and social media gives off the perception that people are bad for simply existing and everyone believes it. The economy has been forced into being predominately services focused, with trades being labeled as worthless and factory work being shipped off overseas. The whole world has been stacked against our younger generations BY DESIGN to ensure they conform to the system being setup to control them. They aren't being taught how to find purpose or educate themselves, how to analyze the world, how to find God and inner peace. They're being taught that they stole everything for merely being born with specific racial and cultural traits, and to step aside and let someone take their place. All of this leads to the world we're facing now, but luckily God woke many of us up and Trump is here to show us the way. It had to be this way, for at the very precipice of losing it all, you step back and realize you can't kid yourself anymore. Your current way of life and understanding of things is flawed, and you must look deeper. Only then do you find purpose, and only then do you find the will to change.

TL;DR, it's despotism by design.
