people got really excited about being angry about something

I feel like you just described most of the Internet. Unfortunately the attitude is seeping into real life now too.

It seems like you've seen a lot of historical events and influences, so I'm curious: What's your opinion on present day social activism (Black Lives Matter, Third-Wave Feminism, etc) compared to the activism when you were younger?

From my perspective it seems like people are much more concerned about others offending them, than an actual lack of rights or freedom like in many past movements. But I don't know if that's just the rose-colored glasses of history.

Do we just respect historical activism more because we weren't present to see the participants and their actions, or is current activism really behaving in a much more self-aggrandizing manner?
