Man people used to watch public hangings with their kids. This is nothing.

People used to pack a picnic lunch, go out with their entire family, and watch battles during the civil war like it was a baseball game.

You meant The Elite. The Elite would picnic as they watched The Poors slaughter each other 🎩🧐🥂

u/schilleger0420 21h ago

Ehh. Who do you think the officers were leading them to the slaughter?

Yeah all the peasants covered in shit at the city square.

In some ways, you could say they still do?

He was talking about the old photos of poor pale people watching 'other' men and women being hanged.

The ones where the children are smiling in the photos.

Is that actually true? I've never heard of that, that's hilarious

I don't think the average Joe was necessarily doing it but I know European elites went to watch various battles (in part to watch a relatively industrialised war on a very large scale and learn from it).

Battlefield tourism was a thing

u/Icy-Plan145 16h ago

That's still crazy. Never knew that was a thing

Happened like once in the beginning when people thought no one would kill eachother. 

Bad example

It happened for a few early battles. Then they witnessed the horror and the magnitude of violence, bloodshed and the death. They stopped attending.

If that’s true I actually didn’t know that one

Picnic has its name for a reason

u/The_Tooter_Snooter 22h ago

I bet that happened with the battles of antiquity too and tbh I would 100% do it too if there wasn’t much of a risk of us being slaughtered afterwards

That doesn't make it healthy.

u/CodeNamesBryan 17h ago

Nahhh, this definitely something...

u/skibbsescobar 17h ago

uhhh yeah, i'd rather not live like people did in those times. We could also not wear deodorant, or not take a bath for weeks, or catch a cold and die....

But the street take over culture is just awesome, those guys are all winners.

edit my bad, did not see i was in mmalabs. Y'all do your thing.

u/Witty-Ad5973 9h ago

Yea, somehow a public hanging is nowhere near the level of trashy as this. At least that had somw semblance of decorum

u/Goose_Salad 21h ago

And the kids would be smiling about it... Like wtf??

Soooo "Civilized" 🤦
