And you didn't even mention climate change.

I'm in my early 30s, so I experienced cooler summers, but also the crises in 2007 and the following years (where basically every Eurozone country south of the Alps almost collapsed).

I also experienced the refugee "crisis" in Germany and obviously covid.

What I learned is, that the only thing our governments can do is throwing money at rich people. Literally nothing else. Every single crisis, conflict, bad situation was met with utter incompetence, corruption, and often enough some new way to blame poor people.

I can't speak for other countries, but ask yourself, what actually changed for the better in the last 20 years thanks to any government action? Rents? Still high. Education? Educate yourself. Healthcare? Here's aspirin, good luck.

The young people of today see that our entire society is moving in an extremely dangerous direction of collapse, and they feel like they can do nothing against it. They feel powerless against a system that ostensibly is super open and democratic. That's why so many (not only young people) are voting for extremists. They want to see everything burn.

Your gay uncle can get married for now. That's still potentially on the chopping block with the current Supreme Court.

I agree. But there have still been SOME victories, although not enough.
