I dunno, people have always been shitty, it's why we have so many wars all the time. We're just less shitty to people's faces unless we have that seething rage that makes you forget about the consequences.
It doesn't take that much to insult someone on the internet. Poke some keys, fire and forget. Disassociation would be the simplest term for it, I suppose. People have always talked behind people's backs, it's just easier to do it to someone's face when there isn't physically a face there.
EDIT: Also, most older folks are looking at things through red-tinted nostalgia glasses. Almost everything seems better looking back at it from 20 years in the future. "People were so much nicer." "Dirt tasted better." "Man it was fun driving through Death Valley without air-conditioning and a pair of siblings beating the crap out of each other in the back seat."
