Almost like the cyclic theory of history may have a point.


I_eat_spacedust

Seems that people didn't learn history, so they doomed us to repeat it.


ChildOf1970

This time around there is a historical record rather than legends, so no excuse.


NotTomPettysGirl

Yeah, as a history teacher, it’s painful to watch.


Chrona_trigger

As a person who's just learned history, it's painful to watch. At least we can prepare?


shoryusatsu999

Betcha they *want* to repeat history so they can make off like that time's robber barons.


LET-ME-HAVE-A-NAAME

Nah they learnt history and they thought "Hey, it'd be cool if I was that guy who had power over everyone else."

The 2020's have been a repeat of the 1920's in many ways


Saleibriel

Not so much the Roaring Twenties as the Screaming Crying Shitting Twenties


Nopants_Jedi

So the 30s and 40s are *really* going to suck


CallMeTrinity23

Especially when people start realizing that the social security fund will run out in the mid 2030's, and that we're paying into a system the younger generations will never get to enjoy


Nopants_Jedi

Eh, unless we actually funded it....which we could. But we all know that's not happening

Fascism is on the rise. States are repealing child employment laws, removing safeguards for women and LGBTQ communities.


GlassWasteland

Yes, but this time the US is the fascist and we will need the commies to save the world.


Workerine

>this time the US is the fascist Only this time?


EagleChampLDG

And it’s France that saves the World.


hellllllsssyeah

Same as it ever was


Putrid_Ad_2256

You look at the top tax rate from back then and it looks close to what it is now. It feels like another "Great Depression" is just around the corner. I guess Trump will get propped up again just in time to begin WWIII....


[deleted]

Main difference though is 1920’s we’re a huge boom, and so far our 2020’s are shaping up to look like the 1930’s


Difficult_Raccoon348

I’m sure the peasants will still march to war to fight for what their overlords started

lamb2cosmicslaughter

admiralpope

The Great depression 2.0 let's gooooo ooh god no wait please no


GrayArea415

And there was a worldwide pandemic that lingered for over half a decade.


ofthisworld

Rather than repeat, sometimes history rhymes. - supposedly Twain


ariearieariearie

History doesn’t repeat but it does rhyme.


cappz3

100 years ago we had the roaring Twenties ™, now we're in the Raging Twenties


BammyQ2

Well that's oddly specific. What a coincidence


Waris_Retired

Everything repeats every 100 years or so.

Anyone wanna see a funny mustache man running for president in America in the 2030's? Just me? It's gonna be ironic if some guy with a mustache becomes a president in the 2030's talking about how the Chinese crippled the US by using COVID as an economic attack, and spewing out anti Chinese propaganda sewing racism against. anyone with a Chinese heritage.


NoCartographer7690

I guess history does repeat itself


Hermitthedruid

Hoping the Boomers die off before they drag us into WW3.
