It's been mad all along. We're just going through a rapid change in the mechanisms of social control. Lamestream consumerism and individualism is waning while new secular moralism evolves to fill the void. This had to happen (was documented by the more observant commentators before 2015) because of the replacement of top-down broadcast culture with bottom-up ad-hoc networks. Now the ruling class is learning to control those networks and the new secular moralism is happy with that.

It's all very interesting but just a bunch of self-absorbed navel gazing in relation to the effects of empire on the rest of the world (people, other biology etc).
