The issue isn't with the absolute level of wages but with increasing income inequality (Gini coefficient) and the resulting loss of social status for young men on the lower end of that scale.

Correct. The hierarchy is getting steeper and harder to climb.

Men who don’t feel connected to a clear path of ascension become desperate and often either dangerous or losers.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens to the increasing number of men who feel they have “fallen off the path”. Could be scary

They will probably seek revenge against the social norms and classes which alienated them. History tends to repeat itself.
