We have had dysfunctional parenting for ages. What makes the current batch of idiots so bad is that the Greatest Generation wanted a better world for their children that they were a bit more forgiving about discipline. The boomers went nuts being their own brand of people and had children who were even less capable of being parents. Now the folks having kids are just breeders with no clue how to raise a child. There are no consequences that used to teach you often and early the best path forward
