@RyanYorkieBar2@BlazeBinges Yeah you’re absolutely right. But right in that moment it felt so awkward considerably because it followed up Barry’s revenge.
I definitely agree with you, but either way it is so vindicating.
I always asked this question. Deeper into research and cultural aspects, firstly, all these nations had empires and kings, or local rulers, so the aspect of hierarchy and royalty was not alien to them.
The British Empire is said to be the cause of this quirk of saying Sir a lot, but it’s more complex than that. In its hegemony as an empire it governed its overseas domains in a fuedal + hands off system. Especially in the Indian subcontinent because it wasn’t united and consisted of a hundred different kingdoms, ruled by Raja’s and Nawabs, the British Empire couldn’t control it in terms of ideology, and they certainly couldn’t directly appoint their own as leaders of local areas in certain areas, not until the late 1900s where it was more common to have British Mayors. So for the time being, local Kings served fundamentally as both figureheads and watered down vassals.
That was not the only aspect however because cultural roots in South Asia was heavily family patriarchal centric, and less to do with religion but more about cultural traditions.
And for modern day, yeah I sort of agree with you. It is pretty dumb to have this go on, it seems too much of a suck up, but in their perspective it is about automated respect, giving respect to others even if in awkward situations such as memorable adversaries, but it’s a stuck ideology rooted more in culture that was drilled in with feudal, family and military culture.
@JoezMcfLy Probably for repairmen for the inner-ceiling maintenance, presumably there’d be some sort of safety line and hook to be attached while they go down the ladder.
