It's just people have more ways to express their anger. 15 years ago all you had were letters to the editor and talk radio. Now you basically have any avenue you want.

I'll admit, that statement is anecdotal, based on my own life and who is in my social circle/community. Maybe my worldview is clouded by my own resentments and hangups. Statistics show the world is safer than ever but something seems 'off' with humanity these days. Not that it's necessarily 'worse' but people seem much more isolated than my parents generation. I don't know, I'm just thinking out loud right now.
