We did. That's why they're in the government and the guys they ate are poop in the ground. But one day if they get power over us they'll eat us. Because they still ritually demonstrate the eating.
If you think that's crazy, you should read what's in the Bible. For example, the origin of Abrahamic religions is a guy who was willing to sacrifice his own child.
Yeah but the Māori did eat the Moriori around the time we were freeing slaves.
I guess some find Nazi salutes acceptable since it doesn’t literally mean “genocide people with gas” but rituals have meaning to others. I think if my ancestors ate people then I wouldn’t be celebrating that every day.
But who knows, maybe you’re cool with the Nazi salute.
You know the difference, and probably could articulate it if you thought about it. Why poison a good human interaction and drive someone away? You don't need to treat others like that.
Go ahead and articulate the difference between celebrating genocide by eating someone and celebrating genocide by gassing someone that makes one acceptable. I’m curious to see it. I think what’s happened here is you’ve picked a priori an in-group and out-group and you think in-group references to violence are palatable and out-group references to violence are unpalatable.
Or perhaps it’s a timing thing. When the Nazis are as historical as the Māoris are today, the salute will once-again become acceptable.
Don't you have something better to do? What do you gain by actually putting effort and time into tearing down anonymous people - me, the Maoris, etc.? Why not do something constructive?
