In retrospect I think the big points are:
-internalizing the human experience as strictly a consumer leaves most young people feeling like a significant part of their life is missing
-individualized mental illness masks the fact that our current social and economic system is a significant cause of mental illness
-the worst parts of salinity bureaucracy (working in a way that produces the metrics that make your boss happy at the expense of whatever good/service you're supposed to be providing) have been totally incorporated into modern capitalist neoliberalism.
I think I agree with all of these points even though I would normally disagree with a semi-marxist anticapitalist worldview like the one the author holds
