Is this what you're referecing?

(I've never heard of it directly. Looks interesting. Thanks for sharing.)

Unraveling According to Strauss and Howe, the Third Turning is an Unraveling. The mood of this era they say is in many ways the opposite of a High: Institutions are weak and distrusted, while individualism is strong and flourishing. The authors say Highs come after Crises, when society wants to coalesce and build and avoid the death and destruction of the previous crisis. Unravelings come after Awakenings, when society wants to atomize and enjoy.[40] They say the most recent Unraveling in the US began in the 1980s and includes the Long Boom and Culture War.[21]

It's interesting it always falls apart when we hit peak individualism. We see that pattern all over history.

The book The Fate of Empire by Sir John Bagot Glubb goes into this a bit.

There's a youtuber named coach redpill that discusses this in a good video but for the life of me I can't find it right now.

Probably got censored.

Yes, Strauss and Howe wrote a mass market book about cycles in history.

My personal belief is that, like an infection, altruism is causing the current crisis: civic decay is caused by putting perverts and minorities on a pedestal.

It's multivariable but you're right about that one. When you factor in the widespread atomization (libertarian/bootstrap economic atomization, feminism and the destruction of the family, atheism and community isolation, others?, etc.; basically all a different form of applied critical theory).

Looking at how chaotic the world has become isn't surprising when you consider how unraveled it is.

Yep, and when chaos reigns, authoritarianism flourishes. However this cycle ends, war or depression or maybe both, governments will want to control all the chaos with 24/7/365 surveillance. It’s a bad scenario.
