My "whitepill" for all of this stuff is basically that humanity's population exploded unnaturally in response to the discovery of fossil fuels. Especially oil an natural gas which allow for far more food production (and transport) than would otherwise be possible. We basically passed our "carrying capacity" and have been dealing with the consequences of this since the mid-2000s when conventional oil in the middle east peaked.
Our financial system is also more-or-less entirely predicated on growth in the energy supply. And while it continues to grow from a total perspective, it has not grown enough from a per capita perspective. So you have major world powers basically beefing with one another because there isn't enough of the key energy supplies to go around. Particularly heavier oil that is used for diesel and jet fuel.
Various shortages have led to spikes in energy prices which in turn has led to an increase in the debt bubble. This in turn has made it harder to grow because more and more productivity must be used to manage the debt.
Advancements in technology have been in part a reaction to this (if not consciously, but because of incentives.) And these advancements in technology have made life seem easier, even while it is actually becoming harder in a sense to make the system work as a whole.
I think people understand this, at least at a subconscious level. And that is why there is a great malaise. We are effectively all forced to serve a machine that does not work because it is built around an aberration (from a population and energy supply perspective.)
It sounds like a dismal blackpill, but I think things will actually be better in 20 - 30 years. It's just that going through a population bottleneck will not be fun given the way the financial system works. Elites are trying to manage this (directly and indirectly). And as a byproduct, the elite class has attracted some real scumbags for the most part.
