NorgLyle posted:Almost every natural disaster has at least one of these. I'm from Washington State and was alive in 1980 and we had a whole weird semi-heroic profile thing going for this one old gently caress who lived on Mt Saint Helens and refused to leave even when people came to tell him 'your house is literally going to explode some time in the next couple of days'. I was five for the actual eruption but I remember reading about this idiot when I was in first grade and not being able to understand why an adult throwing a tantrum and refusing to leave was a newsworthy thing but when I did it at Chuck E Cheese I just got in trouble. so what happened to that guy was he ok

The kooky WA State governor at the time only encouraged his behavior publicly, which led to some speculation that had she kept her mouth shut, maybe Harry could have been convinced to come down the mountain. That's politicians advocating stupid poo poo for ya.

my favorite part of the dead idiots wiki:quote:Truman told reporters that he was knocked from his bed by precursor earthquakes, so he responded by moving his mattress to the basement. He claimed to wear spurs to bed to cope with the earthquakes while he slept. He scoffed at the public's concern for his safety, responding to scientists' claims about the threat of the volcano that "the mountain has shot its wad and it hasn't hurt my place a bit, but those goddamn geologists with their hair down to their butts wouldn't pay no attention to ol' Truman." god damned crystal worshiping hippy geologists

TBH there are hundreds of worse ways to die than buried by a volcano at the age of 83.

At one estate, the serfs sacked the manor house, killed the knight, and roasted him on a spit in front of his wife and kids. Then, after ten or twelve peasants violated the lady, with the children still watching, they forced her to eat the roasted flesh of her dead husband and then killed her.

H.P. Hovercraft posted:i really like this exerpt imagine how thoroughly dehumanized you are and/or bereft of any human sentiment or connection with your oppressors to do something like that. i wonder if its borne entirely from the level of cruelty visited upon them by the oppressor class as much as its just the accepted rules of engagement for both sides? Haitian revolution also had many examples like this; my gut says its the level of disparity that drives it; to see them living so well while you are so low, and you knowing that this is what they expect of you anyway. an interesting comparison is the lack of similar examples in American slaveholding states. there were constant rumors and even panics over slave revolts, which were almost unheard of in reality. and I havent heard of really any stories of slave revenge against the former master about the US either. selec has issued a correction as of 23:15 on Sep 14, 2018 |
