The 60s were really a dangerous time in this country’s history.
Wondering how this time compares to then.
It is close to that. In those days at least they put up a fight. Despite what some think is outside federal control, Johnson sent in the 82nd I believe into Detroit to put down the rioting there. Tanks in some cities were common place. Today, the pansies in our government are
“concerned” how bad that would look. I see, it is better to see whole malls and parts of cities looted and burning rather than restoring order and if need be killing the damn rioters. The NJ national guard in Newark had to be restocked with ammo so much 30 cal had been fired for instance. By 70 the race riots had morphed into anti war riots.
The only difference I can see is that in the 1960s riots and protest movements, the Soviet embassy and diplomats played an important role. In today’s movement, as I’ve outlined, it looks very much as though the main organizational energy comes from the establishment of the Democratic Party, with the possible additional involvement of George Soros.
I would bet that if that “Refusefascism.org” outfit was raided and fully investigated, all sorts of connections with the Democrats would be quickly exposed. But even if they have carefully hidden the connections, just the location gives it away — New York liberals. The whole complex is basically synonymous with the Democrats and their brand of politics.
Antifa may be partly autonomous, the impulse to join an Antifa cell probably comes about as a natural part of a leftist university indoctrination. But money to help them do what they do probably comes from this same source, although college professors are not exactly starving.
I found it interesting in the refusefascism.org material how prominent a role they assigned to Mike Pence and his faith. Apparently this is a big irritant to them.
