minus-squareBeetschnapps@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-23 months agoHow many times are needed to “remind” you? Your attempt at “Remembering” history doesn’t mean you’re preventing it. Shit you are the one PREDICTING history! Again what was your point? Remember berries from a self-proclaimed prophecy?
minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoI would say, every time there’s an event that (so far) is 80% the same as an historical one, and the remaining 20% is in the very near future.
minus-squareBeetschnapps@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-23 months agoSounds sure, and sounds foolish. Are we talking about an “event” like a meteor shower or a full moon? Does it coincide with the fall or a human sacrifice? Should the village be concerned?
minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-23 months agoWhen the alternative to failing to heed history is political violence, it always makes sense to be aware of precedent. The alternative is standing around after the fact moaning “But how could this happen??!??” Well, you see, in 1968… you know the last time this happened…
