    Just seeing this thread. I grew up in the 60's/70's. Worse now. At least we don't have a half dozen far left groups bombing buildings randomly. But tallying up the damage from last summer's mostly peaceful protests, any given year of violence then is nowhere near the destruction across the country as now.

    The biggest difference I see isn't in how radical they were then compared to now. It's that there are orders of magnitude more people taking part, are better organized, are way better funded, and all the major institutions are supportive. Education and entertainment were the only American institutions who supported back then. And then it was limited to the humanities educators in universities, and a smaller subset of Hollywood. Prosecutors did not refuse to prosecute the perpetrators.

    Vote, keep pressure on your representatives, and convince everyone you know to do the same, and explain why they need to. It's hard to believe, but most people just aren't paying attention, and won't until something the government does affects them personally.

    I am kind of an inbeweener... born in '62 graduated from High school in '81... One thing that I can really see that differentiates the Liberals of the past from the current crop of Lib/socialist/Commie is that back then they truly believed in free speech. The old line of "I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight for your right to say it" does not exist in todays liberal thinking. Today it is all about "sure you can speak and have an opinion, just as long as it what I think and say" God help you if you don't... if you don't you must be crushed under the weight of the title Bigot, Racist, Homophobe, and so on.... Socialism has never worked anywhere it has been tried... Why on Earth do those that feel we need to have it/try it think it will work here? All this crap I see about Basic Universal Wages, or AOC making the asinine comment about you should have a basic income whether you want to work or not is just crazy...

    The 70s at IU many of the academics saw socialism around the world as the future. On a map it looked that way as more countries in different parts of the world drifted that direction. The USSR was busy underwriting a lot of these movements, but when the 80s started it looked like they were running out of gas as keeping all these regimes shined up was draining a lot of their cash.

    President Carter was badly prepared to deal with this situation in the late 70s and it made the US look foolish and weak. The Iran hostage problem finished off his foreign policy much like the his fumbling energy issues did his domestic.

    While Ronald Regan was considered by many to be lightweight for the job and treated as a sort of "nuclear bogeyman" by big media at the time, the mood of country was finished with the 70s.
