@corrupt you were talking about the 1920s and the rise of fascism but I think that this time it's more about the mentality. The world is getting craquer and Europe is deteriorating.

I already said like ten years ago that we are facing the resurrection of far-right views. You can call me a cynic or a clairvoyant. 'Cos look at Germany (AfD), Slovakia, Hungary and now FPÖ in Austria. It's a pattern.

At least for now, I don't see any potential downsides

@X-Ray Rod, I'm from Russia, but I've moved to Argentina couple of years ago. Chile... well, it's not work related, I guess I'm just looking for a country in South America to settle in, and Chile seems to be the best choice

Another thing is that to think about history one has to do more than basic survival, and world's in a bad shape for most people to do more than simply exist.

@corrupt: The reason we as species don't learn from history is because history is many times longer than a lifespan of a single human. Anything at that scale is beyond comprehension of most people.
