The further some people are from the conflict zone, the hornier they get. They have nothing at stake so why not bet on other people dying, just for fun?
War is so unreal to Americans because none of them have ever endured a conflict on their home soil. I'm sure the continued decay of capitalism into fascism and worsening ecological collapse will remedy that, though :doomjak:
In the Civil War that happened once when it was still treated as a little rebellion and super super early on. It was Bull Run and they largely stood 5 miles away till the route. One congressman was taken captive though

Civil War 2 will probably have a bunch of Chuds picnicking around the battlefront to see the war just the like first time around
Of course, I will then sneak up on them, [redacted] and then make off with their picnic baskets
Awh fuck now this place is going to be crawling with Park Rangers. I gotta get outta here.

in occupied palestine today libs hang out to watch bombings like they're a fireworks show
during the american civil war people had picnics on hillsides to watch battles
i'm sure war spectating is very old and people following and betting on the news probably happened in every war, they just didn't have the internet.

I don't think this is betting. As in not for a prize or anything
