Yes.
I have been trying to figure that out. I am not well-read, so I lack foundation. But, it's rather obvious that, as society deteriorates, people devolve to groupthink as a source of identity and value. I understand this isn't exactly the same thing as what you posted about. But, in the current paradigm, it's obvious that this is the case. That resentment leads to wanting to tear down said structures that make you angry, and so institutions deteriorate.
In the beginning, sime of these gripes are legitimate, as any hierarchy imolies the existence of the dispossessed, but it doesn't end there. It keeps advancing, rotting everything it touches. Allowed under the initial perceived validity.
It's obvious that, for a liberal society to work out, one where everyone is allowed to pursue their own individuality and differentiation from the group, there must be a collective starting point. A set of axioms that everyone agrees on, from which they derive a collective identity and then they develop themselves within the bounds of this identity. But, again, this will always alienate some.
I think religion, particularly monotheism, solves this by being voluntary acceptance. Allowing for choice when it comes to belonging to the collective. And thus the development if a high trust environment.
But I don't know how to solve the issue of societal deterioration, polarization and the fact that this choice can only be made by people who are aware of their actions, meaning new generations will always be forced into the collective regardless.
