The more I read history the more I realize how little is actually new. Our political struggles today involve the same forces, even the same language, as in the 1930s etc. The present is often so arrogant towards the past when in fact there is usually so much to learn from it.

I highly recommend "Money, Power and the People" by @chris_w_shaw. You want to talk about history we can use today, that's the book you want to take a look at.

It's amazing how slow a republican brain works huh?

@RayDalio talks about this point a lot when referencing his latest book The Changing World Order. He studied 500 years of precedent to see the same patterns repeated, only, they happened only once in one’s lifetime so we form a sort of consequential arrogance

Put the unvaccinated in camps. That would be a parallel. The left cheered it on for 2 years.

Time passes ... but from generation to generation ... when things don't go right ... many like to blame others ... that's exactly what happened back in the 1920s and the 1930s ... and that's exactly what's happening now!

Yes 🙏🏼

yes, like banning an entire population from working, going to school, entering public places, saying it’s “for your health & safety.” sounds like the 1930s to me. would have been nice if you spoke up against it instead of speaking to segregated audiences. annefrank.freetls.fastly.net…

It’s the history of the world just played over & Over like a scratched record throughout societies forever
