Today, those most identified with the old story are in crisis. (e.g., Low-class “White Males” [Incels]; Evangelicals).

(Joseph Campbell interviewed by Bill Moyer)

What happens when our myths disappear or become dysfunctional?

Just read the newspaper.  Myth's must and do provide "life-models".  The myths (life-models) have to be appropriate to the possibilities of the time in which we are living.  Our time has changed and will continue to change so fast that what was proper 50 years ago is not proper today.  So the virtues of the past are the vices of today and many of what were the vices of yesterday are the necessities of today.  And the moral order has to catch up with the moral necessities of actual life in time here and now. And that is what it is not doing.” 

We are witnessing the Death of the so-called White Man’s Divine Self-Image and the Caste system that it depends on for its survival.
