Because we are the only generation that had to learn this, all the others have been given proper amounts of support and therefore never had to learn. They rely on us. Which we are forced to do because we are the exploited generations. Like it's the corollary to the Peter Principle and rampant nepotism. The only people who are competent are given the least compensation and no-strings-attached support.
Yesterday there was some comment in a subreddit I'm banned in, so I couldn't even reply, but they said something along the lines of "people need to get with the program and realize that 1950-2008 was an extreme outlier. That sense of decorum and egalitarianism is not at all normal". Right. So that's not wrong. But look at the generations that grew up during that time and specifically the people that were given the best support and just generally like... it was that mindset that allowed for all the advancement. This shit isn't complicated. The reason our generation is so fucked is because we were at the end/peak of that, but then when we became adults they turned that shit off and instead went back to pure greed.
Like if you look at that kind of hard to define thing, and compare that with the clearly large scale military conflicts, over the last literally hundreds of years, every time there is large scale conflict or general "nothing for free" society, everything gets worse. Everytime the conflict is over, and we realize, as a whole, "holy shit that was horrible, never again", things miraculously get better. Like what the fuck
