Social media has given everyone a voice and you now are able to hear and see that voice constantly.
Ideas that were once isolated to small pockets are now spread openly and easily.
Basically, you have a time in history where we don't have any real problems, so people start looking and searching for problems because they need some cause to latch onto to feel some meaning in life.
Add the ease in which social media has allowed ideas to spread, and you get where we are today.

This is right on the money. Facebook was full throttle by 2006, Iphone in 2007, Obama in 2008. And no, I'm not saying having a black president was a bad thing, I'm saying it was an extremely hot button issue (centered on race and identity politics) that coincided with the rapid rise of social media and smart phones.
