Does history repeat itself?

>>2999544
Not to a t, but some aspects of certain events end up being similar.

Yes, first as tragedy, then as meme,

>>2999544
In abstracto yes.
In concreto no.

>>2999544
History is just a meme OP I mean honestly does anyone actually believe any of that crazy shit actually happened the truth is we were a bunch of shithead cave men going ooga booga and then one day the modern world appeared

over hundreds of thousands of years, maybe

Stop shilling the "time" meme this event happened yesterday

history is easy, it is dictated by the absolute spirit and it moves like this:
thesis >antithesis >synthesis
pink floyd > the clash > talking heads
treaty of versailles > WWII > european welfare state
renaissance > baroque > enlightenment > romanticism > modernism > post modernism

so yes, it repeats itself, but is also always modified and renewed. it's teleological after all

Shit is all relative and comparable.
It's not magically cyclical though.

>teleological
No.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
History is a resulting of cause and effect, not teleology.

>>2999544
No but it's like poetry, every stanza rhymes with the next

Humans (especially in positions of power) share the same drives and are hilariously ignorant so yes, shit repeats itself.
