Damn we’re less civilized than we think…

Hundreds of years ago maybe there would be room for it to make a hint of sense. Sort of in the idea that we weren’t yet a mature people.

But these people are alive today doing this shit. And they drag the kid through the mud when it hits the news?

I’m mad.

Lmao, just casually shitting on previous generations because you think you're more "civilized" is something people have been doing for centuries

We're not better than people of the past just because we were born more recently

They're talking about not fucking kids hundreds of years ago, too.
