Just when you think visiting Australia can't be any stranger, the Brits turn up a new one by discovering the resting place of the first person to circumnavigate Australia while renovating a train station. Remember, kids, always use lead for your coffin plate so if you are lost for a few centuries, people who find you will know who you are.

Japanese values of courtesy are based on fuedalism, aka a systematic lack of respect for 99% of human life. We got rid of that bullshit for a reason. I will not present my neck for cutting or blindly follow the orders of the more powerful.

Ignoring fanciful/idealized visions of history and ancient life, disrespect for 99% of human life has been a fact of human life in societies pretty much everywhere for the majority of recorded history. Specifics, attempts at constraint, and how far back you have to go vary.
On much of the planet, it remains how things are today.
