Its worse now
however the terrorist acts such as bombing and bank robbery have not happened yet
maybe because soros is funding the a tion any these marxist anarchists are not starved for cash
I remember watching the anti-Vietnam war student protesters go toe to toe with the police in 1968 on the TV.
There were massive fistfights with the police, who were smacking the protesters in the head with nightsticks, and there was a lot of blood flowing on both sides. The students were dedicated to their cause and weren't backing down one bit.
Contrast that with the Antifa wimps hiding behind masks, wearing helmets, bravely holding their cell phones while cussing at the police, and lighting trash cans on fire. ...

The anti-war protests in the early years started out as peaceful demonstrations. But the protesters were dope smoking hippies and disliked by the general public who supported the war.Please explain this some more if you will. I wasn't there, but from what I could tell, the old school hippies didn't fight back much at all. They were using the Gandhi approach of passive resistance, sit-in, love ins and gaining the support of the masses by NOT being the aggressors.

We are losing rights in a general sense. Even what we type here could eventually be used against us in the future. But blowing away some steam is not bad. Today, there are a percentage of people rioting with no cause. Insulting yourself with privilege while still living with it is being a true hypocrite. Most of the media and entertainers who have a say to us all are just that. They can go from expensive cuts of meats, caviar and champagnes to spam, tuna fish and cheap wine. From expensive cars to economy cars. From huge mansions to small homes or apartments while giving away their wealth to the less privileged. They ain't doing that. That means that the peasant will be on the hock when the Progs come back to power.I am 83.
I remember all the tragedies of the 1960s involving President Kennedy, Senator Robert Kennedy, Dr. King, the 1968 Convention in Chicago, etc.
But it did not seem so anarchic as today's COVID-19 tragedy, the BLM protests, the looting, & the upcoming "controversial" presidential election.
I think (repeat: "think") that the difference is due to the Internet.
A nobody like me is now blowing off steam. In the 1960s, we nobodies did not have an outlet for our opinions, conspiracy theories, hate speech, lies, etc. The media (print newspapers and TV networks) were the gatekeepers. There were no cellphones, either, so it was more difficult for troublemakers to plan riots, etc.
Today, if one depends on the Internet for one's impression of the nation, it seems that the United States is coming apart at the seams. Back in the 1960s, no one had any such fears.
