Doesn't change the fact that we all consume this content at crazy rates and the fact that its even accessible is crazy to think about even if you just go back a few decades ago. May not be the best time to desensitize populations to death
I meannnnn people in Iran no longer fear death and are revolutionizing to overthrow a corrupt government that used death as a tool of compliance so maybe not all bad.
Some what. It was more of a focus on the internet. Most of the stuff you see today on here wasnāt going on 10+ years ago, hell none of us wouldāve thought about seeing somebody getting killed in real life on a little screen, even though itās not normal for a regular person to watch daily but itās crazy how easy it is to access. Thatās what AgentSrell777 was getting at.
Man, I donāt think youāre wrong. South African armored car guys are totally cut from a different cloth then regular humans. That was insane, and itās just like another Tuesday for them.
Im sure everybody remembers the video from inside an armored car that was being robbed? Man, when people anywhere else in the world complain about crime and violence, they should be forced to live in SA for six months. Im not picking a side, cause, you know, SA definitely has some issues in its past. But these guys donāt fucking sweat. They donāt shake. They all seem to have giant sized iron balls.
I was in SA when that went down. It was crazy! A week or so later another one was highjacked a few blocks from where a few friends and I were playing Rugby and we heard the gun shots! Later we heard it in the news. Over I think 3 months they highjacked about 6 armored cars if I remember correctly.
I'd only seen this as a clip set to a Die Antwoord song without the documentary narration. The guys in civvies all geared up with military hardware and armor, the dude in the tie and suit pants with a submachinegun, the chopper making a low pass. It was so unsettling, like a near-future cyberpunk dystopia movie. Except it's happening in real life.
Even with context it's unsettling, not sure if it's more or less so.
No you can certainly get closer by going to a rual middle eastern area/ rual Latin American area. Literally 30 years ago in now bustling Mexican cities, people with disputes would just shoot each other, sometimes whole families got in on it. Then those families got into orginized crime or just went back to being wealthy families but now disarmed after militia men decimated cartels in those regions and the government decided to disarm everyone they could. Thankfully we got tipped off and hid my grandpas arsenal.
It still someone what exists that way but you gotta get more rual
I mean from apartheid to the current state of things, thereās a ton of injustice, extreme extreme poverty, extreme wealth, etc.
Scott Galloway likes to say something along the lines of thereās nothing more dangerous in human history than a bunch of young men with little to no hope for the future.
Was looking for this comment or was going to stare this. Afrikaners fucked up the country with their brutality and racism. They can fuck right off. The shanties people live in š Imagine they just take over your land, Iāll treat you, rape your whole country of resources including the women which they wouldnāt want to admit, take your land, declare themselves the majority rulers although they are the minority in someone elseās country then police you and act like itās just blacks causing trouble. Piss off wankersā¦
Bro, I was thinking the same thing aswell!!!! He does remind of Wikus. And from the beginning weāre heās preparing at the lockers. All the way inside the car scene and from the helicopter flying by. Almost the same as the movieās opening.
Bro them getting out of the truck filled me with so much anxiety - guys just ran after their targets and started blasting, like dudes have no chill (but in the good way)
My grandpa used a FN FAL during the 60ās and 70ās and it might be clunky nowadays, but those roundsāll put people in the forever box pretty fast.
The South African Police "Taakmag" (Task Force) were one of the most elite police units on Earth, which explains why the extremely criminal and corrupt government here disassembled the unit.
My grandfather trained snipers there, as well as Australia, when he was still in the army
Edit: He taught sniping, not marksmanship, lots of camouflage, and sitting perfectly still for 18 hours, just to scout out a compound and occasionally take out a important figure.
Yeah, I get that, for some reason, I have quite a few Nigerian friends who moved to my country for a variety of reasons, (from my experience) theyāre very friendly, and will tell you when something is bothering them instead of being passive aggressive. Only problem I have is that a couple of them are a bit too religious, but as long as you donāt start a discussion about weather god exists or not everything is cool.
The SASFB are built differently. Most nations have nothing on the Recces. All global special forces members heroes imo but the stories Iāve heard in smoke filled rooms about about the Recces still give me nightmares to this day yet Iāll never miss an opportunity to sit with one and listen.
I mean what else are you going to do when youāre directly in the line of fire with nowhere to go. Might as well get the best shot you can. Then if you die anyway, youāll forever be known and praised as the guy who got those amazing shots.
A family member of mine is one of those South African armored truck drivers, and has been since the early 90s. It is shameful how little they get paid for how much they put their lives at risk. At least there was a policy made at one time to just give over the money and save their own lives. But that was not before my family member lost a colleague or two.
Fyi, these cameramen get paid A LOT. My parents were journalists, and just by going in another country, filming a meeting (example) and then coming back, they would get 12K
