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.

People aren't the medium, and that's what we're talking about. Social media is a different kind of communication mechanism that has evolved extremely rapidly and has overrun all of the typical social systems we had in place.

We just aren't designed to handle this and it's bringing out the worst in us.
