I think it is somewhat due to the fact that staring at a phone screen all day and not being social leads to an absence of any degree of a sense of humor. Everyone has become solemn and easily offended because they do not know how to laugh at themselves and their every person flaws and situations. I feel that because so many have primarily only interacted with themselves they are unable to recognize sarcasm, dark humor or serious situations.
There are many injustices in todays world, some of a very serious nature that need to be addressed and fixed where possible, however, every little minor thing along with very serious things are all given the same degree of concern when that shouldn't be the case. That elevates the mundane and by natural reactions brings the serious things down to be grouped with the mundane. I have never seen a time when society has been so unable to differentiate the important from the petty.
I never thought I would say this, especially at the time, but having survive being in a war situation, and looking back, I think that it really has given me more of an ability to see the big picture, having seen the worst of mankind in action. So many thing that people find deadly serious, I find a whole lot of whining. My scale of concern ranges from Meh to Damn that's awful. It just seems like society today is in constant "damn that's awful" state. Others just overplay some minor situations for personal gain and so many are not able to understand that.
