I am not sure how that would be helpful, regardless of how you mean that. Nothing in the past has ever even gotten remotely close to what even exists today, let alone what will exist in all of our lifetimes, no matter how old you are.
Humans are basically the same, even if the technology is different.
"History doesn't repeat itself but rhymes a lot" (or words to that effect). What is happening now in the US (and many other places) strongly echoes the events leading up to WW2.
Sadly it is only going to get much worse before it gets better.
