The different between then and now is the difference between liberal and leftists.
Hippie "liberals" at least valued free speech and due process. They were against political violence. They had some respect for individual liberty. Look at the Beatles' "Revolution" Lyrics..."if you want money for Che and Mao, don't bother to come around anyhow"
Today's leftists are anti free speech, anti due process, pro-violence, pro-communism. It's completely different and that's the scary part.
Of course the "60's liberals" are ultimately to blame. They are the ones who have controlled all the institutions the past 30 years, and they allowed their ideology to devolve into this.
What's the difference? I'm talking about political turbulence- this is nothing compared to the 60's and 70's. Literally.
