Common failure pattern in contemporary Western Society:

Life goes badly because of rotten liberal social ideas, lack of community, lack of church, etc causing mental health problems and social breakdown.

But the in-your-face manifestation is poverty.

So blame #capitalism!
Why do mental health problems and social breakdown manifest as poverty?

Because mental health problems and social breakdown make humans 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 less productive and the economic management system notices this as a lack of money in your bank account and tries to starve/evict you.
People are unproductive when they are sad, mentally broken, sexually abused, lonely etc.

Liberal social ideas excel at creating these conditions via a broken mating market, atomization, naive #atheism, etc.

Hence the synergy of human misery between liberalism and leftism.
Some aspects of naive free-market capitalism also contribute to this #ToxicModernity situation: cigarettes, gambling, alcohol, drugs, addictive-tech, firms with too much market power, naive globalism etc.
What's the solution?

We need to reinvent religion, clubs, social norms and communities in a way that works for the 21st century.

@default_friend 's arranged marriage thing is philosophically right even if the implementation is uncertain right now.
Humans without religion, clubs, social norms and communities are like baremetal hardware with no software on them, and if you add modern leftist ideas like gender equality, feminism and intersectionality they're like computers running a bunch of different viruses and trojans.
