I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too

Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It's pretty cool to see.

We were shown an A&E biography episode on Ray Crock my freshman year of high school for career class and they quoted the dude as saying

@zinklog "History loves repeat itself" With Covid , Wars and even daily life you see this so so many times. On big or little scales but this is a almost mantra to me " History is spiral it always comes back to point x" Sometimes it's scary because you know exactly what happened and what happening now can happen again...

Im not wild about this because to often I see folks use something like it to imply something we face now is no big deal due to a false analogy. Like covid with spanish flu. I.E. - I don't need to mask or vaccinate because we got through the spanish flu. Not taking into account its not as bad because of vaccines but without them it is actually a worse disease and that pictures clearly show folks used masks for the spanish flu. Its not just that but with climate change implying it just seems like the end like the cold war but they are completely different issues with different possibilities for solutions.
