I was thinking about this the other day. People will say "There were anti-slavery people back when the Constitution was signed, so folks knew it was wrong!" And I'm like "Those people were probably viewed the same way vegans are now."

... I could roast the shit out of this comparison.

I look at this cartoon and I see so=called centrists.

I look at people trying to turn "centrist" into a pejorative and see George Bush announcing that, "You're with us, or you're with the terrorists." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qdvm6h8WKg

Remind me again, what is the center between "gay|black|Jewish people have equal human rights" and "a little bit of genocide is needed"?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

This comic says nothing about any of those things. The characters aren't from any of those groups. There is no reference to genocide; ritual sacrifice typically entails within-group violence.

The famous quote, which the comic is presumably referring to, isn't about race or genocide either.

"democracy is the worst form of Government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time" -Winston Churchill

not an expert but [citation needed] on the "within-group violence" statement. From what I remember they quite often sacrificed captured slaves from other nations and ethnicities.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I don't have any numbers on it but it's often both. Sacrifice, as a religious practice, has a lot of variation.

But I'm not aware of any serious claims that ritual sacrifice has anything to do with genocide.
