You don't have to be an Ayn Rand fanboy to appreciate how well she described how society slowly breaks to pieces under the weight of what we call "leftist" ideas.
Maybe because she lived through it.
But society doesn't break apart in a moment. It slowly corrodes; one decision at a time. Once it becomes more important to avoid thought crime than do the right thing, a series of responsibility avoidance over a long time frame across a large number of people leads to a blown out window. It isn't a random event. It's a chain reaction of decaying society where everyone is just looking out for themselves and the highest goal is avoiding responsibility and virtue signaling rather than pride in the best tool you can make, and the best designs, and the best windows, and the best workmanship, and pride in a plane that can fly.

Right. This stuff started around then.
Someone can correct me but i think the "zero tolerance" stuff started in the 90s as a way of allowing the school administration to absolve themselves from having to do the right thing. It is much easier to just follow the policy when the policy makes no determination of right and wrong.

re: Bullying
You hear too often about kids committing suicide from bullying. I wonder if this happened at the same rate in the 1950s and you just didnt hear about it because no internet?
Im assuming it didnt happen; at least, not at current rates.
So, why?
Schools added "zero tolerance" policies. In reality, these policies are similar to the policies of current leftist prosecutors, wherein they are more apt to come down harshly on someone for trying to do the right thing in a bad situation, than they are to go after actual bad actors.
Public school policies toward bullying are similar. The schools dont aggressively punish bad actors. They do punish everyone together if you fight back against a bully per the "zero tolerance" policies.
The result?
In the past, bullies were like wolves in a forest. Nobody liked it, but they are there, and your choice is fight or flight.
Now, they are still wolves in a forest, but if you fight, the forest ranger will come down on you and you'll be in just as much (or more) trouble than the wolf. In schools, there was a kind of Wild West code of Justice, and if you could hit the bully back, everyone knew they deserved it.
Now the system turns a blind eye until you are pushed to your limit and fight back, and then the same system comes down agaisnt you with prejudice for your pursuit of Justice.
I imagine this is what the kids are finding unbearable.

The core parts of Libertarianism that should be included as building blocks of a society are freedom of association, and an Austrian school understanding of economics.
But Libertarianism is not sufficient for a society. Libertarianism deals with the logical, but most of the problems are moral and cultural. Libertarianism is built in economic ideas and pretends to be a moral philosophy.
As a holistic model, it has no answer for (and often logically encourages) all sorts of societal ills, like strip mall blight, employer mandates, the toxic factory going up next to your neighborhood, degeneracy in general, consumerism, corporate farms, Walmart out competing local stores, etc
If you listened to the Reason Magazine during the lockdowns, they basically said, "ackshually Facebook censoring content and employer health mandates are fine, because they are a private company." Worse than worthless positions to hold.
For example, what is the libertarian argument against ESG funds?
What is the libertarian argument against a handful of giant tech companies controlling 99% of social media and pushing leftwing ideology?

> You can still have culture but not be forced to contribute to parts of society you don't agree with
This is increasingly not true.

The flaw is that they ignore culture.
Everything is downstream of culture.

Those same people arent generally sharing their struggles and downs.
Maybe that's what makes it so hard to bare.

I know it doesn't fix anything, but dont forget that social media is by nature a distortion:
