What were some similarities and differences between the hysteria in Salem in 1692 and the red scare in 1947-1956?

Answer 1

People were often sick and children would die from poison by other jealous women,

(poison was all the rage in the late 1600s). And unlike today children had great value

as mindless beaten and brain damaged slaves, today you can beat and choke the poison "your" child and receive huge monthly compensation as the victim parent of a weird genetic defect, but most healthy children today have no $ value to the parent so many can not relate to hysteria over allegations that a child died of poison. The first trials involved Chinese methods of lie detection by the Puritans who yelled out: she is sweating, she is shaking, she is mumbling, so the elders could evaluate the evidence of lies, liars were not wealthy people as today, liars were beaten up fast and if demonic possession continued a united group of 12 or more could just beat them or kill them in self defense, as a cure to the harm of psychopathy's and sociopaths in primitive countries today, and to protect from theft by fraud. Review modern bankers destroying and squandering entire nations holdings and destroying the wealth and none remains. So the Puritans were actually wise and developing lie detection like Thomas Edison placing a string in a tin can and making a telephone line, funky but cool.

The hate of Puritans and the hate of capitalism comes from modern liars who want to hate the surface effects of people making money to enjoy justice and industry free from real mobsters, the real hysterical, the shallow minded who love to profile and

pretend they want fairness and forced total equality, when none really exists. We

are all unequal and fluctuate from day to day, we are free from forced ethics religions

like communism or forced equality from a jealous husband with poison. Poison is hard

to detect and only in modern times do people believe it is a risky crime and easy to

detect or prove. McCarthy revealed a real communist presence in America and wise

Americans snuffed the communists fast. Unwise American communists swore revenge and took revenge as dopey people believe any forced religion is a good national religion and dopey people want a forced nanny government so long as it is free of famous religious idols and is vague and chaotic or... communist. There is a good form of communism

where people meet voluntarily to agree to share and not horde, this will only come

with a scientific legal system, some say Jesus must be super glued to the judges

seat, to have justice, I don't think this will happen for long trials. So the red scare of communism was real, and the hysteria was a sensible reaction, since we recently

learned of released documents and witnesses showing massive efforts to enslave

America by communist "safety" ideals and poisons like pot in the 1940s, 50s. The old Puritan hysteria was probably not true as most poisoning was a complete mystery to them, but not today! The difference between the two trials and sub trials are only a slightly improved legal system in 130 years of hysteria and misery and successful criminals. Every DA- District Attorney that I know has a polygraph in his public office, he or she will offer you a polygraph test to help you prove your hysterical point.

Answer 2

Both events involved widespread fear and suspicion leading to accusations and persecution of individuals based on perceived threats. In Salem, the hysteria centered on accusations of witchcraft, while the Red Scare targeted individuals suspected of being communists or sympathizers. Both events resulted in significant social and political consequences, with innocent people being harmed due to baseless accusations.
