I was there and aware of the 60s and the 70s. To me, 1968 was the year of the Great American Mass Nervous Breakdown. The 70s are the one decade I was alive in that could go away (other than in that pre-HIV time, recreational sex was far more popular and available, so there's that).
I would categorize 2022 and 2023 as 1968 and 1969, 1969 being the first year of Nixon, while things got progressively worse with him throwing gas on the fire. These are two years that - like those - are so chaotic no one can predict with any accuracy what the news may be next week.
