A good comment on the article points out that the critical element here is the coddling of the young. "If you are a teenager your opinions deserve to be destroyed." Treating the young like they are idiot savants instead of the actual idiots they are has brought us to this cultural point. Special Snowflakes are the logical endpoint of "you can do anything you want, little jimmy!" culture of the 80s in schools.
By lying to children and telling them they are presumptively great instead of admonishing their hubris and encouraging the requisite humility, we have raised two generations now of egomaniacs by default. When they are confronted by the reality that they are pathetic they suffer a mental break and in the BEST case, begin to learn about life extremely late. In the typical case, they retreat behind their pillows and cultivated psychoses to deny their eyes. In the worst case, they double down and band with a subculture that denies them nothing while extending their lies to all elements of reality.
The latter is the SJW group, and they have grown quite naturally and steadily because we still haven't adjusted our attitudes toward children. We continue to raise them in this way. The effects in society will continue to progress as they have and worsen until collapse if we don't address this flaw in reasoning.

Children are stupid, treat them like it.
I think it started in the late 80's but really ramped up in the 90's and early 2000's.
