It's less about language and more about how atomized everyone is now.

When the person next to you on a bus is as likely to report you to the govt as they are to side with you, it's hard to feel like anything but a single plank of wood, adrift on an ocean of nothingness.

That's why (((individualism))) is so important. That's why destruction of the family is so important. When you feel you can only rely on yourself, you're broken and lost.

The default attitude then becomes:

"Why would I stand up for these other people and risk my life when no one else seems to care about the state of the world?"

Add in the movies and TV shows that all show neighborhoods becoming violent dog eat dog situations in apocalyptic scenarios and you see how they not only literally atomize everyone, but also enforce that programming through propaganda.

It all seems so hopeless.
