I think that's true for our society in general at the moment. Everyone can behave like an asshole and it's completely OK for a society if they say "I had a tough childhood and haven't received a professional help".

Literally none of these people claims that. What they actually say is "acting like an asshole is a cool manly thing".
Meanwhile, the help for people with tough childhoods is slashed and protection for kids is scaled back. People who had tough childhoods and did not received professional help are getting roughly no help or benefit of doubt.
I didn't talk about these people, I was talking about society in general. And the problem with even slight erosion of responsibility is that sociopaths benefit most.
