No, you’re not going anywhere with this.
Human sacrifices in the time of Columbus were irrational prayers to a non-existent sun (or whatever) god.
At least the technology being built by slave labor is moving humanity forward.
Also, we’re not all the same. Blank slate theory is an absolute lie. Now, the conditions should be much better, but many people cannot think like you or I. They can’t type, they’ll never be able to really read, and labor is an honorable task.
To equate the two sacrifices are absurd.
Different times, same shit.
Year 1450
The Taino people believed that human sacrifices were sometimes necessary to appease the gods during times of crisis, such as droughts. They performed these rare rituals in hopes of restoring balance and ensuring the survival of their community.
Year 2024
Israel is flattening Gaza, knowing there are children and civilians in the area, with the blind hope of destroying Hamas fighters or one of its tunnel exits.
And a charry on top, people still belive in some imaginary being nowdays. I'm not judging, just saying. We still believe in something that gives us hope.
Sacrifices were hope for Taino people. We can't compare thinking from now and then but similarities are obvious.
Ok.
Israel and Gaza are completely different to the people building our cell phone.
For Israel, I just learned the definition of holocaust. Do you know it?
What Israel is doing is a genocide.
Answer the question
And what holocaust have incomon with those indegious people?
Fuck an A you’re slow.
Go do a quick google search on the definition of Holocaust.
I do have life outdide of messaging nostriches on nostr so, one step at a time.
Quick answer: I never read the definition of it. But I will later today. See, in every conversation we can find inspiration to do stuff we usually would not :)
Also, fuck off with “rare ritual.”
That shit happened ALL THE TIME and sometimes in the 10s of thousands.
And what is our proof of how frequently their rituals were? Movie Apocalypse by Mel Gibson?
I bet rituals were rarer then weight of human lives lost from inhumane confitions in mines.
Rarer then all the human lives lost in wars we have fought for no fucking reason.
Mass graves.
I can’t believe you’re sitting here defending human sacrifice. Are you whatever the fuck people that did that?
What gives you an impression I defend human sacrifice?
They didn't know other way of life like we are today. They believed sacrifices work 🤷🏽 and they practicing it because they live in such belief.
You most know in what kind of stupid shit people still believe today and this is way more concerning because we have options. Our leaders have options but yet they are sacrificing us for their greater goals.
