Scary stuff on the right

Just a thought. As I see it, the biggest difference between current radical (left and right) events and past events, is the communications revolution. News and hype travel so much faster, and from so many smallvilles now, it appears to have grown exponentially. Try reading some newspapers from 1924. All the stories are very familiar regarding corrupt politicians, revolutions in banana republics, crimes of violence, bombings, etc.
