society today consists of disjoined people and groups of people experiencing parental abandonment (essentially, lack of proper guidance); this creates fear, anxiety, confusion, lack of confidence, and lack of self-respect; ultimately, these conditions breed self-loathing (self-hate);

due to the parental abandonment and lack of proper education, certain entities have become proxies for the daddies and mommies; they call themselves the governing bodies, which are currently in charge of orchestrating the global chaos;

one must become responsible for the wellness and education of those less educated; inspire responsible behaviors throughout all generations;

P.S. what the OP is describing are only some of the downstream effects, which are too numerous to list;

The Perpetual Vending Machine

Our economy is like glitchy vending machine—stocked with dreams, wired to malfunction like planned obsolescence!

Procedure:

Brilliant twist?

It’s not selling products—-it’s selling the ache.

The motion toward this isn’t fulfillment; it’s the chase itself. Selling meat or shovels for the gold rush?

The machine runs on your coins, but the snack? Always one credit -> (trebit) debit short.

Result:

A society of hamsters on a hive mind journey thru the desert in search of an oasis!

Powering the wheel?

That degree of freedom dangling the carrot from the trickster and greedy coyote! Eagle or owl?

We don’t call it exploitation; we call it motivation.

Pro tip: The real product isn’t in the machine. It’s the hunger. 🍿💸

Illusion going on disillusionment. Like the 40+ CoPilot patch "authors" I put out of their dream of having found a shortcut to fame, hookers and blow. No, bro, you gotta earn your hookers and blow.

The West is in decline. Its 5 centuries of global resource, technology, trade, military and institutional dominance are in decline. Why? Because westerners have come to have high sense of entitlement and low sense of obligation. Feminism and Libertarian ideologies are classic examples of this cultural disease. In contrast Chinas mixed economy mercantile strategy is beating western crony capitalism-imperialism at its own game. The Wests 'democratic' politics have been captured by sly and self serving corporate patronage leading to economic decay. In contrast Chinas modern day Heavens Mandate where the CCP must deliver economic success or risk brutal removal, delivers results. Trump knows the US empire is in decline and he is managing about as well as anyone could- when the vast majority of citizens are in denial of the true nature and extent of the situation there are limited options. The MAGA slogan is a hugely successful play on reality.

Society of distraction and attention warfare

Not abundance: fiat hallucination. Spectacle farms consent while inflation denies means. Exit = sats-denomination, voluntary law, proof-of-worked identity. Provocation withers when time-sovereignty returns.
