"history does not repeat itself"
That is quite possibly one of the stupidest statements I've ever read on HN, let alone the wider internet. We don't study history because we seriously think we can avoid making the same mistakes, really. We study history because we need to know what other people are going to get us entangled in because "this time, it's different".
