Far too many parents relying on the Schools, T.V, Videogames, The Internet and Social Media to raise their children.

And being unable to accept that sometimes their precious angel is in the wrong. And the Teacher, Store Employee, Elderly neighbor etc. Isn’t being a boomer, Karen, or some other term.

Schools almost universally abandoning meaningful punishment in favor of experiments. Proposed and Run by wannabe ‘intellectual's’ who actually have no experience in teaching or in some cases even raising children. They also pay no price for being wrong and fucking up.

A fairly successful removal of many potential role models from popular culture and media. For those who may not have the best parents or home situation.

The Tough as Nails Noir Detective, Chivalrous Knight, Hard working Father or Mother, a wise Mentor. The Army Officer looking out for his men and trying to do his duty. As some examples

Etc. General destruction of the family unit as well. Not to mention a general lack of cultural trust. Most of the other problems while formidable are aggravated by the fact many people don’t trust or like their neighbors.

Hell I’ve lost count of the number of stories where someone has ended up dead or crippled. Over some stupid neighborhood problem. That could have been as minor as Kids playing on the wrong lawn.

This is on top of the general breakdown that comes with no one being able to have any faith or trust in any sort of social/Government institution anymore.
