Wrong horse, wrong cart, and in the wrong order. Apart from that you are right
We see two things happen in sequence and say the one that happened first probably caused the second. But unless there is some logical elplanation of why the first would cause the second all we have is the fact that 2 things happenened. Some third happening (eg: the growth of the cell phone network) could have caused both. Causation is tricky and rarely obvious.

While that invasion may have contributed to a sense of futility and vulnerability I think its more the popular passivity of the day resulting from overuse of computers for everything as well as the hopelessness and lack of empowerment brought on by that as well as not having strong religious faith. So many young people don't seem to work on anything constructive the way they used to. So they feel they have nothing positive to contribute to the world so they end up not really fitting in and they just turn back on themselves.
Like wooden ship and airplane models. Kids stopped buying them about the time cell phones were invented. Now you can't even find a kit for sale. Middle age men publish plans on the internet and that's it.
