Blaming society for one's problems is the easiest thing to do. We live in a time with more entertainment than ever. But noone is being forced to consume it. We've chosen this fate for ourselves. Admittedly, out of ignorance, but still. It's a circle of destruction. If your life sucks, you try to escape reality. The more you escape/neglect it, the more your life sucks.* Partial blame can be shifted onto parents, for doing such a "great" job of getting us ready for life. But that's a poor consolation. Now that you're mature enough to face reality, pick up the ball by facing your problems.
*Anime is only one of the many readily available mediums for escaping reality. There are also games, anything with cheap thrills will do.
I don't think you truly fathom the breadth and scale of the problems you're telling people to face.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPmm4Fm_BsATen and a half minute video where this individual lays out the problems with trying to pursue traditionalist roles. (Though he doesn't really address the issues on the other side of the coin in any of his videos, at least among those I've watched, such as declining birthrates.) Unless you're extremely wealthy or have powerful connections, chances are you're not going to have a lot of luck in areas such as winning cases in marriage court systems that are biased towards women, much less getting the laws changed for the better in the first place.
Then you have shit like this:

hardware.slashdot.org/sto...-being-replaced-by-robotsWhat that boils down to is that you can't reasonably expect to throw "hard work" at the wall until success sticks and you have a respectable standard of living in this day and age. Self-employment is one way around this problem, but that has its own risks that it entails. And if things keep progressing in this manner there won't be much of a consumer base to get paying customers from regardless.
I agree with you only so far as to the individuals holding responsibility for an unwillingness to take action. But if you stop and think about the kind of action that would be required in order to actually improve their lives, it should be blatantly obvious why that hasn't happened.

super-fucking important:
There is no historical precedent for a lasting, meaningful improvement of standards of living for the masses through peaceful political action alone. Nothing short of total state and economic collapse or an extremely bloody and violent revolution is going to set society back on its proper course. But people in general, much less weebs and such, aren't going to be doing that anytime soon because, despite poor economic opportunities, the population on average is still relatively well off.
These people are smarter than you give them credit for, they know all too well what the reality is. It's just that, unlike you, they also recognize the amount of risk of losing what they still have versus the reward of
maybe improving their living conditions, or
maybe those conditions further deteriorate, simply isn't worth it.
You can't place any blame upon an individual for anything beyond the range of that individual's sphere of influence. Attitudes towards these issues such as yours are neither realistic nor productive, and are a total non-starter. So unless you have some kind of grandiose, foolproof plan of purging all elites, globalists and such from the face of the earth
without fail, AS WELL AS solving all of the other problems I've mentioned in this post also
without fail, you have no business scolding people over not addressing problems they are not equipped to solve.
