I agree but even then, at some point, the kids must face the reality of life. There's an advantage on that regard about the time the youth is expected to start to develop financial freedom, and that's about the pride they held so high at that age, where it's so important to show off. My lil brother was sadly pretty spoiled, yet as he passed his twenties, he started getting increasingly ashamed at not being financially independent, to the point he even moved near the first place where he found a barely decent job, abandoning the comfort of my fathers home. The youth that gets spoiled in a context of abundance is common and does damage, but doesn't drives the needle. Here what caused the needle to spin 180° was the affirmation and unavoidability of financial dependence from the state to survive, via subsidies and state-positions (can't call them "jobs"). Many Argentinian provinces have rates of state-derived income as high as 90%, maintained by the provinces that do work. What's key here is that that scheme wasn't forced in the hard-working provinces, but those very same provinces where the ones who voted for those schemes, out of socialist indoctrination. The provinces that became used and thus dependent on that income degenerated over time into distopic wastelands. Bottom line is that, while accommodated people do play a role, it's not a driving role, and what killed the country was sheer ignorance.
