    And about a century later, history repeats itself.

    Those who do learn the history are doomed to watch and see others repeat the same mistakes.

    Stupidity is passed down from generation to generation. Next time you are called stupid, feel free to lay the blame on your ancestors! :blobpeek:

    We don't get smart. The smart ones only transmigrated and we are all naturally idiots.

    It is much complicated than stupidity. Some people are out of work and force to choose between starvation and disease. In case of small business, they can't survive if the shutdown continue any longer and the employees knows they will lose their job if it happen .

    The problem is it is suddenly opened up without continuing standard hygienic practices. What happen in the past is they open up and discontinued prevention.

    It also does not help that authorities are being unreasonable authoritarian and people fear any longer it would be permanent. News of microchips and tracking devices also worry people ( libertarians(fear of 1984)and religious(fear of mark of the beast)especially).

    They should open up but still continue social distancing, hand-washing and avoiding physical contact.

    I'm clapping in joy daily at how stupid people are

    i.e there is now a vocal majority (or minority. can't really tell) who claim this virus is made up. people who are sick from this virus or who died from this virus are made up.
    we have created a new breed of stupid

    History is basically a loop of itself. Different people, different scenarios but same results no matter how advanced we become:blobsad::blobsad:

    Well, time is a funny thing. While we perceive it as linear its actually circular, we only think like that because we don't live long enough to experience the pattern twice

    "Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it" Is pretty much why we still have people who openly call themselves 'Communists' even today, though some pretend to be Socialists instead. Makes me worried every day as they're repeating the same mistakes of 193X Europe.

    it's because stupidity is seen as being tough and cool that it continues to propagate for millennia to come.
    even if they lift the curfew and open everything up again I will still be at home working as usual.

    I don't see why the government hasn't helped the ppl out in this crisis they think tossing a few checks is enough. they need to make all the bills currently free until it's ok for ppl to continue their daily life and then slowly help ppl pay those bills that couldn't be paid.
    for situation as critical as this one I don't understand how they don't have a crisis plan like giving out food stamp cards so that it covers the month that those who have had no work to be able to buy food. how hard is it to have ppl activate them online after filing an application via mail or online.

    You do realize that the 1930's problem in europe was the rise of nationalist leaders, not communism. The communists actually fought on allies side.
    Communism only became a problem in 1950's with the advent of nuclear weaponry and burecratic corruption

    it became a problem because Communism controlled a good portion of europe under the USSR flag.
    despite Stalin OPENLY being for communism within borders, no spreading. (paranoid man indeed, but smart at times) the democacracy perceived it as a threat and so started the cold war. spies and nukes on all sides.
    it didn't help that americans involved themselves in multiple places where communism was.
    china, vietnam, korea.
    and even after the cold war in yugoslavia and the entire eastern europe. with fall of major communism coalitions the history wrote the winner, and winner claimed it's rule. communism evil and doom of mankind.


    im not saying communism has no faults. ofcourse it does. stalin's and lenin's communism was a mess that would never work.
    broz tito made his version with capitalistic motivation and yugoslavia was advancing even

    Nah the problem is those polarizing nature of identity politics. Communism, capitalism, etc is just an idea. Push it to the extreme then unfavorable things happen. Logic and pragmatism should triumph over any kind of zealousness.

    The quote is true. For example, when Disney bought out most of 21st Century Fox last year, that would enable Disney to get about just over 40% of the domestic box office share. In 1929, William Fox had his media downfall because of a July 1929 car injury, the infamous stock market crash that helped usher in the Great Depression, and antitrust suits against his planned merger/buy-out of MGM and its then-parent company. Had the transaction gone through, he would have had about 40% of the domestic movie market share.

    I didn't watch the video, but I wanna say that the idiom on the title is a historical fallacy that has fallen out of favor since the 19th century.

    Two circumstances in two different time periods are never the same. The knowledge from what happened 500 years ago simply doesn't carry over.
