I think in general the internet makes people a little standoffish and confrontational. We see a lot of those interactions online and then we see those who carry that same personality to real life plastered all over the internet via videos like above. In all honesty though, even people who are that way online come back to reality in person normally and go back to showing others a general respect and decorum that makes society tolerable. The disconnect of a person on the other side leads to a lot of this phenomenon but once you reintroduce a person you see humanity return for the most part.
Perception is not reality but it is your reality. Many talk about how social media distorts reality because you curate what you want to see therefor creating incomplete pictures of the world. This same thing happens to the news media we consume because many will digest multiple news sources but they will be in the same thought sphere which in general creates that curated perception of reality. We have issues, but there has never been a time in this country we didn't it's just presented and digested in a different way today than before.
