Protest in the 1960's occurred while the economy was still in good shape and people felt comfortable and secure in their jobs and homes. This resulted in the middle class having time and personal security to afford to be able to concern themselves with issues like civil rights, war, and segregation and discrimination, and they protest all those issues fully.
In the 1970's the economic conditions turned sour causing many people to be concerned more about that job and security of their home and family; the "bread and butter" issues became more important than issues of society's wrongs.
Maybe this was planned by those who run this country, who were fed-up with the masses protesting issues that rocked the boat and threatened to end the privileged position of those who run the country. If they could divert everyone's attention from the society's problems by causing people to worry about their own security then the "establishment" could continue to rule without interference from the mass.
This was accomplished by driving down wages, destroying the union movement, shipping jobs and money overseas and changing the tax laws to benefit the wealthy. By making people more fearful they could make them more manageable and in the process increase their own wealth to obscene levels not seen since the Gilded Age.
This would quality as a "conspiracy theory" of some kind.
