How did we wind up with an entire generation of little narcissists who honest-to-god believe that all other humans on earth are just NPC’s that exist for no reason but to constantly validate them?

These people are certifiable. Holy fuck.

Social media. Reality TV. Participation trophies. Lack of constructive criticism and proper discipline growing up. Decline in the strength of the family and of the community, resulting in the atomisation of people and the increase in selfishness.

This. Here in the U.S. I think the “lack of constructive criticism and proper discipline” was crucial to the formation of these narcissistic monsters. I witnessed this firsthand back in the day - I used to work in a childcare place in the ‘90s, and these children were coddled and catered to an insane (to me) degree. I grew up in the ‘80s when we didn’t have that kind of helicopter parenting, but ‘90s and ‘00s parents I interacted with were crazy indulgent and protective of their little princes and princesses. I truly think that’s why they grew expecting that the whole world owes them love and worship.

Someone shouldve told those parents that princes and princesses should be held to the highest standards of behavior and responsibility...

I don't think the lack of discipline is the biggest issue. In countries like Israel or Sweden, children are coddled and treated generously, and parents are limited in their choice of discipline. However, they still generally grow up to be well adjusted. I think the broader societal environment is way more influential. The United States and it's aggressive individualism, combined with uncertain economic future, will foster these toxic attitudes.

Sounds very sciencey, not just a bunch of sophistry based on stereotypes, generalizations and your personal bigotry. Can I play too?

I've always wondered what it's like to be from a place where everybody's grandparents spent their childhood hungry and homeless and exposed to horrific violence and mass death, especially with the evidence that malnutrition and trauma cause epigenetic changes that can affect the health and well-being of your children and grandchildren. Do you think that's why Ukrainians are so drunk, poor and unhappy?

At least you caught a break with the wind blowing north that day and poisoning Belarus instead of you, huh?

Just after some cursory Googling on a hunch, I suspect this free chapter of a book from 2017 might be illuminating.
