im british and even though i like some aspects of the victorian era most of that age was full of corruption and vice everything was done for the sake of social status rather than the advancement and nurture of british society. thats very bad but, the best thing about the victorian age was the art and literature produced during that time.
@doctorw2 then Imagine what they will say about our era, where everything is done for profit and political correctness. where we take so-called legalized drugs which where in reality made from experiments with children in africa. we will look like savages in a 100 years. theres a lot of change going on but the change is only in a small portion of the world which is the first world and second world countries. the vast extention of the rest of this planet don't even have human rights.
I like the victorian era for one thing - the irony. As he said in the end, they pretended to be nice to gain social status. In fact, the victorian era are probably the most perverted, cruel and wrong time ever. No matter if the men had or didn't have a wife, they went whoring all the time, small kids were used for labour and all stuff like that. But in the streets during the day - everything was quite idylic.
honestly, who's really to say what one's motives are for etiquette and manners? What's not to say that, in modern times, some will want to appear kind on the surface for scoial status, whereas others are kind because they just want to be kind?
I've just started a 'song a week' project all about the victorian east end of london. i upload a video and song every week for a year. if you're interested check it out..
Having studied this era I disagree that their etiquette was for selfish reasons. The people of this period in time were in fact more cultured because they enjoyed being quality people. The crime rate was much lower but of course White people represented a much higher percentage of the total population which had a lot to do with that being non-Whites as a group have a much higher crime rate.
@MrBEB123 LOLLL honey, the crime rate was so ripe in the Victorian era, its the reason Australia is what it is. 159 thousand criminals were transported because Englands gaols were overcrowded. Crime rate was not low in that time, I don't know where you're studying history but you're learning the wrong facts.
@loyalqueen The nature of crime was much different in those days so even thought there might have been as many crimes 100 to 200 years ago the crimes committed were not as vicious or harmful as they have been in more recent times. Thinking and morals were a bigger part of the crimes of the past as opposed to today's let's see how much we can make someone suffer even if there is no money in it. Today's anti-White news media is trying to cover up these facts.
That's an interesting point. I also love the Victorian era but this video is amusing and Penna and Teller do have a point about the motivations people probably had for being polite back then. The way I feel about the Victorian Era was that if I could time-travel, it would be a nice place to visit;but I wouldn't want to live there.

What's wrong with wearing a T-Shirt? What's wrong with dressing casually? I honestly don't see why we need to dress that way. Not everyone is trying to impress people.

I like the use of the word "they.". As if we're really supposed to believe everyone was the same. Nice dehumanizing effect.
