@TafTabTah There's a multitude of reasons. More parents less interested in their kids. More free-range kids. More super-sheltered kids. Lowering standards in education, because everybody needs to be educated, whether they want it, like it, or are suited for it or not. The canonization of entitlement. The celebration of weakness and emotional helplessness.
I'd say it's all just the natural consequence of good times breeding weak people, but there are major milestones in the 20th Century, like the income tax, fiat currency, "emergency" war measures that remained in force for decades after the fall of Nazi Germany, the deconstruction of free-market capitalism when socialism couldn't be sold on its own merits, creeping fascism, ...
A lot of what alarms people, NOW, is less about how bad things are and more about the fact that they're not hiding what they've been doing under the radar for a long time. The Internet giving people alternate sources of information exposed a lot of BS to a lot of people that never would've broken through otherwise.
