Ah, see the thing is, our society always had issues. They never stopped, but more so evolved.
One thing that's really interesting though is that most issues in our society are connected (depression and insecurity - social media - promoting unrealistic beauty standards and expectations - mainly those of the western world (more specifically, I'd say the United States) - globalization and the access to internet - human thirst for power and world domination).
I don't think it's even possible to pinpoint one specific thing that is an issue and that can be solved without taking care of other things first. But the biggest issue is probably that the GLOBAL issues indirectly affect normal people and their daily lives which sucks and unfortunately, there will never be a society without any problems because the problems we have today will evolve into something more.
At this point, I just think the issue is us, the human race. We should just restart the entire thing.
I hope I got my point across, this is kind of messy lol. Interesting question though.

Everyone is so focused on their individualism and “proving” something to the world that they’re valuable when in reality we all are valuable in our own ways but mostly in how we are compassionate and connected together. Yet, we all run on ego and have been bred into a society that congratulates and motivates you to “do better” for some made up system that is supposed to define our worth, and we’re stuck in a reward system that will never be fulfilling. And then, don’t get me started on social media. That all just reinforces the idea of the individual and how “important” we should all try to be. So everyone is constantly trying to show off how cool or talented or financially well off they are or pretty, etc and what’s sad is that 1) no body really cares/the only one who is so focused on you is you and 2) everyone has just become like everyone else and it’s all so robotic and programmed... I don’t think people know how to act like humans anymore. We just are told how to think and react and feel based off of something we read or watched online or tv. It’s all so dumb. And relationships are suffering because everyone is so focused on themselves. I hate it all.
Communists are using Active Measures to literally destroy America, and by extension, the rest of the West, through the means of censorship, social justice bigotry, corporate control over the government, and other Divide and Conquer methods, and the stupidest, most retarded everyday people in society are happily helping them do it. The ones who'll suffer the most are Third Worlders when China conquers them, the few non-retarded Millennials out there like myself, and the Gen Z'ers who can see how messed up the world they're growing up in, is. All because of evil Communist scum and the people too stupid to deserve voting rights or the ability to reproduce.
Too many diverging opinions on how people should lead their lives. Too many different values and religions always clashing with one another as well as the non religious going after them. Mostly has to do with gov sanctioned divisive operations if you ask me. They never know and us to get along. If we did there would be no is vs them mentality and they'd quickly lose relevancy. Internet is great for a lot of things but also a double edged sword. Our biology and our technology are completely out of sync and we are advanci too fast for our species to catch a breath. Social media is basically cancer for the most part.

They [Young People] have exalted notions, because they have not been humbled by life or learned its necessary limitations; moreover, their hopeful disposition makes them think themselves equal to great things -- and that means having exalted notions. They would always rather do noble deeds than useful ones: Their lives are regulated more by moral feeling than by reasoning -- all their mistakes are in the direction of doing things excessively and vehemently. They overdo everything -- they love too much, hate too much, and the same with everything else.
(Aristotle)Whats wrong with modern society. Simple you spoiled children haven't had to face any hardships and so you make up shit that you think is bad. If the worst thing you have to face in life is someone saying mean words to you and having to deal with a restaurantnot offering a glutenfree option. You need to be dropped into the woods for a few days with nothing but a knife so you can experience the joy of finding off bears and wolves whilst barley scrapping together enough calories to survive. Like you ancestors had to.
Suddenly modern society dosent seem that bad does itA lot honestly. I dont know how to like say it all but just things like racism, judging others for their looks, etc, etc, just growing far apart instead of coming together, spreading out love. also there's this one ariana grande lyric saying "If we give a little love, maybe we can change the world" and its so right in so many ways honestly.
civilizations go in 3 phases. barbarism, stability, decadence.
barbarism: where we commit genocide to establish the norms
stability: we live off the fruits of our violence but the violence is present in our minds. so our institutions remain stable because we remember when they were not.
decadence: we are so far removed from the violence that we have forgotten the consequences of letting things fall apart. so we begin to act irrationally and avoid all short term negativity even if it makes things bad in the long term because we can't see long termSocial media are partly to blame. Everyone, even the most uneducated people can post something and as always there are people who follow. Soon a stupid/toxic challenge, trend or ideology spreads around like a wildfire. And this is just 1 thing.
There are many other problems in western society: feminism for example, there is a female privilege (they can babytrap men, they can take away everything from a guy after divorce, their crime punishments are way tamer compared to men's etc.) The toxic mentality of the self entiteled women who deserves a throne, a perfect prince charming etc.
Also the (American) mentality that they are the center of earth, they are the vips and not care about anything but themselfes and say f*** climate change.
There are many more points...Rational and analytical people have become a minority. People have become so brainwashed, they've forgotten how to analyze issues from all angles and come to a conclusion themselves. And they refuse to believe that there could be another side to the story,
Read @nightdrot's. It's not everything, he was answering a specific question, but it's a damn good start as to what's wrong today.
Do you think most people get offended to easily these days?In a lot of ways it's the same issue that it's always been. People forgetting a pendulum swings both ways. We could find some middle ground where the pendulum could come to rest. But now we have turned a pendulum to a pendulum saw. One side is doing their best push it into the other side. Only for that pendulum to be pushed back at them. In the end it's a seemingly endless fight and both sides are deeply cut open.
Same problems new looks. Humans have never worked right in any society funny thought.
Literal social creatures meant to be social have never worked socially together correctly.
Creatures also don't work well socially together so like how do we expect humans to do so? You can put your laws and morals there but we are all just creatures.
The very existence of bactira the thing we are from, causes fundamental problems among creatures that live.The question should be what is not wrong with it, its like we get our freedoms but now if you have a unpopular belief, idea or talk out of turn you won't get in trouble with the government but the people will sure as heck make sure your fired and never work again.
They enjoy making you homeless or the death penalty. Were losing our freedoms and without any government regulation causing it, just plain social media and public pressure.Nah I've actually changed my mind in the last year or less that it's actually okay.
It's actually not so bad afterall. A global pandemic ongoing, really gave me perspective and perhaps a refreshing new mindset ☮️☮️😝👍My hand cramps up at the thought of the list- here are a few- - - - - - - -
It's become too "modern" for its own good.
(scientific) progress exceeds our mentality to cope with it in humane/sane/responsible ways.
Fostering lack of personal responsibility, gov't handouts which = govt control.
Do nothings feeding off the work of others and expecting even more!
Progressive media control.
One world order = globalism.Good question young buck. At least in America.
#1: No fear of God.
#2: Promotes immortality such as abortion, homosexuality and whoring.
#3: Politically very unbalanced and divided.
#4: Corporate greed. Low class workers not getting paid enough to live with dignity.
#5: Serious lack of common sense especially among the youth.(1) People are tremendously isolated and feeling very alone
(2) Secual selection has been reduced to whoever has the most disposable income to spend on stupid shit they are conditioned to buy as status symbols
(3) Most modern industries are complete bullshit with no inclusion of the human potential for creativity and self expressionThey don't understand the difference between society norms and gender nature. That's why they start fuking up everything... For example when you tell them there are things meant for men and other things for women. They will get triggered in a sec 👀😅.
They always say break the stereotypes but. In reality they are breaking generations and create problems.Nothing, man is bound to change, change is a constant, choices have consequences. It’s ironical that person are happy with technology but wanna remain with ancient minds for example.
People take too much notice of social media. They think it's important - it's not
Why we see sadists as victims. Most stalking victims are gaslighting the Mentally ill so that they can look like they are being stalked.
Depends on how deep you want to go, but it boils down to a series of unmet expectations, the fetishization of victimhood, and a complete inability to communicate.
I don't know, but at the rate people are killing each other lately we won't need Covid to do the dirty work.
