All of those could have been targeted with systemic+technological solutions with healthier budget structures - Which people in the west cannot have because they have to support a generation of elderly ****s that ****ed around like there is no tomorrow, but did not bother with raising the kids that comes with it, to support them in the future, when they are elderly - a clear structure for societies since the dawn of time. Now some hope for immigrants completely alien to their own countries to support them in old age, creating EVEN MORE social problems for their children, like elderly liberals, or just hope that "money" springing from thin air, without the real economy to show for it, will cover these costs.
What was happening in reality, though is that the west, lead by these people in positions of power, has been living basically depending on free labor from 3rd worlders, only having government bonds nominated in their own currency to show for it.
So, let us summarize the last 60 years: From leading the world and ruling it politically, having all of its industry, science and capital, the west has lost prominence in many issues as well as squandered all of their savings, become a net debtor to the rest of the planet, with its military prominence also being under threat, and all of its territories lost.
In the same time, these 60 years have been a period of the greatest material luxury and comfort humanity has EVER experienced.
Do you believe that these two are not connected in any way?
Present-Oriented Hedonism is what this behavior is called, and it is the distinguishing mark for the behavior of children.
The baby-boomers in the west were a generation of overgrown babies. That's all there is to it.
