I'm trying to create a recognition of immaturity as an adult problem issue, and if that recognition takes place then society will generally recognize the issue, and that becomes internalized as an issue people understand.
The goal is not to call people out, the goal is recognition as a real, active issue at the root of a lot of public figure behavior. Those behaviors need to be called out, and those public figures shamed for their immature behaviors and immature opinions - which non-public figures then mimic in ordinary life. Which is an immaturity that I do not expect to be called out, which sound like you're focusing.
Beneath the immature world view and attitude is self deception, a far harder issue to call out. That self deception is caused by religious claims of answers to unanswerable questions. To accept an unanswerable question's "answer" from another is a self deception, driven by anxiety and fear. Life has uncomfortable unanswerable questions, and facing those unanswerable questions is a critical part of becoming mature - there are no answers to these questions about what happens or if there is an afterlife. By supplying answers to these critically unanswerable questions, religions create immature individuals that are in fact trapped within the cult of that religion's reasoning, which tends to be terribly immature in far too many logical manners. Then you get morons.
>I'm trying to create a recognition of immaturity as an adult problem issue
Adults don't just spawn into the world like characters in a video game. They're raised and educated into adulthood by the previous generation parents and political regimes. So if you want to point the finger for the issue with current generation, point it at those who raised and cared for them, as it was their job.
>and if that recognition takes place then society will generally recognize the issue, and that becomes internalized as an issue people understand.
The issue with your logic is that you assume society can recognize issues and acts rational to issues, when in fact it does not.
Society selectively chooses what it recognizes as issues, based on emotional manipulation and tribal behavior.
It is also the job of an individual. Immaturity is a choice. A choice to be adult or not to be an adult, and to pretend one is an adult when they are not is also immature. It's a vicious cycle each individual is in full control, despite their awareness of it.
Ah yes, great strategy. After they've been fucked over by a generation of bad parenting, bad governing, bad education and bad economics, go and tell them it's their fault and how they should pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
What could go wrong? I'm sure they'll vote rationally and responsibly and not in a vindictive way to watch the system burn to the ground. /s

What our society did instead was cut down the tree to save money on upkeep and increase the value of their property. Sorry, but you reap what you sow.
Of course children will react with emotion, which is why the only alternative is to treat them as an adult. Point out they can end the cycles they were born into by identification and effort. There is no other way, it cannot be done for them.
