HellsBelle@sh.itjust.workstoUnited States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Professor who predicted 2020s unrest sees US sliding deeper into crisisEnglish8·2 days agoOne of the clearest historical parallels to now, he notes, is the 1970s. That decade saw radical movements emerge from university campuses and middle-class enclaves not just in the U.S., but across the West. The far-left Weather Underground movement, which started as a campus organization at the University of Michigan, bombed government buildings and banks; the Red Army Faction in West Germany and Italy’s Red Brigades carried out kidnappings and assassinations. These weren’t movements of the dispossessed, but of the downwardly mobile—overeducated and politically alienated.

Mr Trump could take a more far-reaching step by invoking the Insurrection Act of 1792, which would allow troops to directly participate in civilian law enforcement, for which there is little recent precedent.
Casting protests as an “insurrection” that requires the deployment of troops against US citizens would be riskier legal territory, one legal expert said, in part because mostly peaceful protests and minor incidents are not the sort of thing that the Insurrection Act were designed to address.
