There have been some pretty dark periods in human history. I think it just seems worse now because of how connected the world is.
I think the truly powerful control the world more absolutely than they ever have but overall, I'm not sure the world is more dangerous/tragic/sad now then ever before.

I think we definitely just hear about this stuff and more often. With the internet our access to news is instantaneous.
There are also more people in the world everyday. Just from a pure statistical point of view, you're bound to see more people snapping and "going postal".
