- the-dude 6y agoWould you rather be pulled apart by four horses?
- ed25519FUUU 6y agoI know that's a rhetorical question, but I would personally choose being ripped apart by horses than spirited away to a torture chamber and tortured to death.
- the-dude 6y agoHow about rats?
- function_seven 6y agoBut keep asking yourself the similar rhetorical questions until you land on something that's hard to choose between. The methods of torture devices centuries and millennia ago are just as horrifying as what you see here. Crucifixion for starters. Brazen bull. Breaking on the wheel. Etc. No, this isn't new. What is new is that this is more rare than it used to be. (At least, I think/hope it is. I might be wrong). We just need to continue on that path.
- flir 6y agoDunno. Are they duck-sized?
- austinprete 6y agoTorture chambers are nothing new, unfortunately. While still completely disturbing, if anything I’d say this setup was relatively mild compared to what you might’ve seen in medieval times or the Inquisition.
- catalogia 6y agoThe instruments involved may look mild because they're common household items, but I don't think it's safe to conclude there's therefore a discrepancy in the experience. If you're being skinned alive with a common kitchen knife, you're still being skinned alive.
- jacquesm 6y agoWe have a torture museum in Amsterdam that shows endless creativity for this kind of stuff. Some people are quite sick.
- mercer 6y ago"Discipline and Punish" is just a wonderfully depressing book that describes some of this creativity.
- celticninja 6y agoAbu Ghraib was in 2004 and was carried out by a government. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghraib_torture_and_prisoner_abuse https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghraib_torture_and_priso... I am not sure why you think that this sort of behaviour is new?
