Ritual Human Sacrifice In North America

Postby Kurt » Fri Jan 28, 2022 4:59 pm

Kurt Andersen has an interesting article in the Atlantic.

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archi ... on/621355/

(a few free articles then it goes behind a paywall)

A few common denominators are:

1. Complex Society.

We view human sacrifice as bunch of Unga Bungas with bones in their noses crawl out of their mud huts and set someone on fire or place them on an alert so some spirit will grant them a few more yams and bananas, but the reality it is happens in complex societies with a population that can absorb the loss of life

2. Class Stratification.

Human sacrifice maintains the class stratification and appears when the stratification is at it's highest level. The victims are mostly from the lower rungs of society and deemed the least important.

3. Most sacrifice is via trickery or is voluntary.

Here we got various media outlets telling people not to get vaxxed and we have people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for "their beliefs". Most who sacrifice themselves think someone else is going to die, not them, but when they do die they accept their fate.

4. Societies that practice human sacrifice do not oppose it.

The Spaniards claimed that they save the Aztecs from Human sacrifice, which they did, but the thing is the Aztecs probably felt it was needed. Imagine if the USA went around with tranq guns filled with vaccines and dosed those unwilling to get vaccinated. Though statistically that action would save lives, those it saved would be really fucking pissed off. (btw I oppose tranq gun vax programs if ever they pop up)

Anyway, worth a read, especially if you are trapped by what is supposed to be quite a blizzard on the east coast this weekend.

It’s a comprehensive article.

“ “Ritual human sacrifice,” an official summary of the research said, “played a central role in helping those at the top of the social hierarchy maintain power over those at the bottom.”

Since the vaccine how many "elites" have died?
My guess is that those that say they never had the vax have had it, like Palin, MTG etc. etc.

NYC is pretty strict about checking the vax pass for dining out and unvaxxed Palin has been eating out maskless, unvaxxed and after testing positive. My guess is she is vaxxed but letting her rube followers think she is really just strong and defying the rules in liberal nyc.
However it would be funny if she was arrested, but thats not going to happen. She is to connected with the enterainment industry to actually get cuffed.

Now that's some fucked up shit. And to your own neighbors! In a town of 1,200 people.

It's always about the money isn't it?

“It’s always about the money isn’t it?”

GOP candidates (like Romney, like Trump) and their voters like to espouse that “government should be run like business”.

This is what happens.

Of course with Trickle-Down Economics from the Reagan Revolution the money stays at the top, because they clogged the drains (BUT THATS A SMART BUSINESS DECISION) and the GOP voters are too slow to the punch to catch on to that.

Not going to bother with the VPN to send a sternly worded email where I juxtapose this with celebrity culture and paparazzi.
