it's not that things are getting worse, they are better than they've ever been; it's that all the horrible things that have always existed are being brought to light. I agree with this completely.
I've felt this way for a long time.
Also, statistically speaking there's been a departure from aggression in modern society. Sadly, we can say that it was significantly more evil in the past.

Fewer deaths from war, less poverty, people feel the world is falling apart but I think the internet has just magnified our worries. That and some whiplash from an unsustainably massive economic boom that many of the previous generation lived through
Also though, we have something in us that wants to think the end is near. We've been provably saying this for a few thousand years. It probably even predates this.
