People were always like this. You just weren't able to see it, because you were in an offline "filter bubble" of peaceful and reasonable people. There have been countless civil wars in history after all.

One large difference is the Internet forces us to live with each other. Without the Internet it's easier to have two differing communities with different values and laws and so on, and they can both live and let live.

But now we have put all of the communities onto the same websites, and this is much more difficult.
