Are people of the twenty-first century too messed up to love one another, sacrifice for one another, or to mature in the presence of difficulty?

For modern marriages, three decades of therapeutic counselling trends are bearing destructive fruit. It's an ongoing revolt against maturity. Sanctification is today a foreign concept, even in the Evangelical world.

What do people count as relational wisdom today? Fighting for your own personal "rights"...and winning in the process. Perfecting clever snarkiness. Outdoing one another in selfishness. Juxtaposing personal dreams and ambitions against another's personal dreams and ambitions.

The way forward when life together gets unbearable? Grumble to a "counselor." Or, if you're tech-savvy, crowd source your therapy. Pour out all your grudges and aversions on the internet, in the guise of "getting a little perspective" [and advice from the mob.]

Today the internet mob is a feedback loop which has become a death spiral -- a chorus of voices calling for an end of humility, self-sacrifice and real sacrificial love. It's becoming a cultural tidal wave of perversity, strife and the separation of intimate friends. Proverbs 16:28 

If you want a hundred people to tell you the easy way out, just hang out on Reddit, where you will be encouraged to give up, to stomp away, slam the door in anger on your way out, and to burn every bridge for any reconciliation. The mob on Reddit is spreading cultural cancer.
