Pretty sure the Myanmar military takes boys away at a very young age to train them up in a manner which eliminates emotional ties to their families, or indeed society. Hence their willingness to kill unarmed civilians.

The British public school system (private schools) was similarly designed to silo boys from their families, in the future service of the Empire.

On a slight tangent, how come in the Mad Max movies (not the first one) the ‘societies’ he encounters seem to be the products of multi-generational effort, especially Fury Road.

In the first one, there’s a more or less functional world almost as we know it. Then he goes out into the deserts and it’s like 100 years passes.

The thought of face-planting off a penny farthing makes my toes curl.
