I agree that the erosion of the middle class is a fundamental problem. The basic economic promises that these people were raised on were not delivered. College graduated didn't get jobs. Political power is going to older and older politicians rather than to the newer generations. I think this generated a lot of resentment and a general desire to do something and to overturn the "failing" system that they're locked out of.
Those urges sublimated into social issues because while they can't change the system, they can change each other. They can't overthrow the corporations but they can rub each other into the dirt. They can't get justice for their dead-end careers, but they can get justice for the imaginary racial and sexual minorities they've conjured for themselves. Activists arise for all issues, but it's notable that the economic activists are unable to grasp power - because they're directly against the corporations - but social activists are able to gain power easily because they only have to fight their follow individuals.

I mean it’s plain as day to see that that’s where the issue lies. When you look to countries like Japan, South Korea or even China what’s the one thing they all have in common that has prevented them from snowballing into a culture of polarized radicalization and Tumblr/Twitter Marxism? A stable middle class, and America used to be that way too before the 2008 Recession started our downward slide into political hell.
