The difference is that back then, the message was mostly things like "communism is bad, and we should be glad we were born in the land of the free" or a general "the government doesn't care about us man, so let's rebel". Even when race and gender were addressed, the message was usually delivered by and through a white dude. This was less threatening the white, male America. When the message changed from "commies hate freedom" to "hey, minorities and women haven't been treated so good", and the message started being delivered through minorities and women, then white, male America decided they were being personally attacked.
The message from pre-1965 was that control freaks weren't people to be trusted with power. The message from 1965 was glorification, admiration, and idolization of control freaks. Control freaks who actually decide what other people are thinking, like the raving lunatics who want to believe white male America decided they were being personally attacked by messages delivered through minorities. I certainly met no one who expressed any such feeling, so the raving lunatics who want to make up this false accusation just want to believe what they want to believe, stamp it with their "control freak stamp" and stammer like madmen. And that's okay according to post 1965 style movies, because those are the movies that say being a control freak is awesome, and we should follow control freaks. Post 1965 brainwashing is why control freaks like Donald Trump got the respect and votes that such control freaks got.
Sadly, the very preachiness of hacks like Polanski, Leone, Coppola, and the maniacs who admired them havee enabled feeble minded morons to believe their self righteousness of just falsely accusing anyone they want to accuse of being self righteous bigots makes them "visionaries" instead of babbling self righteous maniacs full of unprovoked hate. Thank you for proving this in your illustration.
