Like the anti vaccine movement, many have forgotten the horrors of the past and feel like they can just discard the things that got us to where we are.
Nah. The generations that live through such trauma (such as the horrors of nazi Germany just as an example) and witness it first hand are the ones who work the hardest to make sure it doesn’t happen again. But once you’re a couple generations removed from it, that memory fades, and the ones in power stop caring as much about preventing it because they just never lived it. History always “repeats itself” for a reason.

Just like how fascism is back. Generations die off, and (particularly if we don’t educate), people forget.
Bad times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men, etc etc etc…
Yeah that’s just bullshit platitudes
