I remember being shown that at school. Seems kind of bizarre now. Maybe it makes sense exposing kids to that sort of thing so that they understand death and war is a terrible thing. Then again you had all that stuff about kids making jokes about Budd Dwyer.mk64 wrote:after walking into the WWII section where they showed footage of the concentration camps.

I had to walk out of the Imperial War museum about 10 years ago after walking into the WWII section where they showed footage of the concentration camps. I dont think anything I could watch online would be worse than that tbh. Felt sick for hours.

It's an interesting point - I've been to the hiroshima memorial thingy and also seen concentration camp stuff.Âmk64 wrote:I had to walk out of the Imperial War museum about 10 years ago after walking into the WWII section where they showed footage of the concentration camps.

Another side reasoning for the showing of dead dictators is the bebunking of conspiracy theories that they are still alive. Not a justification for the whooping and hollering that has been the vehicle for presenting these images mind.djchump wrote:In contrast, the glorification of pics of dead dictators seems more of a cultural "look what we did to this bad guy, other bad guys be warned cos this'll happen to you, we are the good guys" kinda thing.
I guess, confirming to the general public that the Big Bad Wolf is actually dead - hardcore conspiracy theory fans will believe any old shit and evidence never seems their strong point - but I take your point.Liveinadive wrote:Another side reasoning for the showing of dead dictators is the bebunking of conspiracy theories that they are still alive.
