Another example would be 1930s Germany. Instead of learning from history and working to resolve issues, we instead get countless articles of "actually things are better than ever and it's your fault you don't understand how good you have it". Anything to not interrupt the transfer the wealth to the rich. That's how capitalism devolves into fascism. The wealthy industrialists were great fans of the nazis (or were simply nazis themselves).
