The Sixties protests were different.
It was not so much about ideology.
A lot of protesters had skin in the game as they did not want to go put their life on the line for a war that had NO military objectives to speak of, but was based on some stupid premise of the domino theory.
Absent of real military objectives, the reported progress of the stupid war devolved into weekly body counts in which the books were likely cooked.
Today’s protesters particularly the pro-Hamas protesters have no skin in the game.
The appear to be role playing and play acting.
They have been indoctrinated by a Marxist public school system to play stupid games and take stupid positions.
Nothing disturbs me more than to see school projects where kids are role playing slavery or even stupider role playing homeless people by sleeping in cardboard boxes.
When I see some of these protesters, I see them play acting as they have been taught to act out social issues as if it is somehow socially redeeming when in fact they are simply indoctrinated puppets of those with a much larger and darker agenda.
Bull s**t. There might have been “protesters” who didn't like the war, but the leadership were hard core commies who thought they could provoke a revolution using the war. If you doubt me, read David Horowitz’s book Radical Son. Those SOBs were nothing but ideology.
