Are these people feds?
Because they’re overdoing it, the left cannot be character assassinated any further.
Regardless of whether or not these people are feds, I think this kind of shit is a reasonable argument for the need to have a centralized party or parties that have the power to censure or expell members.
. Not us this time!
Everything indigenous groups have ever done is good, actually. I am very smart.
Ritual human sacrifice to appease the gods? Not actually that bad! Kill the krakkka inside your head.
I mean, it wasn’t that bad compared to the scale of human sacrifice in Europe at the time, yes I am including executions in this metric
.Europeans are also indigenous to Europe.
I thought Yakub created them in a lab in Africa?
Actually the lab was in Crete so that’s still Europe
Damn, looks like I need to brush up on my Yakubian lore. Thanks comrade.
(cw: cannibalism of stick figures)
Cannibalism as a widespread cultural practice is actually super fucking rare outside of England.
One of the funniest bits of projection ever. Victorians were coming up with all kinds of crazy ways to eat mummies and shit, and all of western society memory-holed it.
Let’s not forget their fondness of powdered Irish skulls.
First I’m hearing about it. Where did you find out about that?
powdered Irish skulls
literally just google this and you get:

Yeah, I am reading that first link. Wild.
Aren’t all Christians cannibals? Don’t they believe they’re eating the body of Christ? Sorry I don’t fully understand transubstantiation.
Only Catholic dogma still believe that it literally turns into the flesh and blood of Christ. Protestants generally acknowledge it as a symbol, not the real deal.
Gotcha thanks
This also depends on the specific sect of Protestantism though, with some believing it is merely a symbol, while others believe it is the spiritual body and blood of Christ.
Why don’t they just compromise and say the bread stays bread but the wine does turn into blood, should I start my own sect
Me the ultimate leftist going down on my sister just as Marx intended
The “oral with your sister” / “anal with your father” schism is tearing leftism apart.

I will not eat the people.
I will not fuck the sister.
What are you a lib
Hilariously, /r/tankiejerk also complained about this post.
I do not know if the culturalist opponents of the real world and its evolutionary trends, understood as Americanization by some and Westernization by others, can be described as rational. Confronted by the threat of Americanization, some defend unique “cultural values”…This is a dangerous situation, and the danger is enhanced by adherence to the principle of irresponsibility. It is dangerous because the (capitalist) system has reached a stage characterized by the monstrous power of its destructive capacities. As I said above, the system is capable of destroying human beings, nature, and whole societies.
- Samir Amin, Eurocentrism.
They certainly aren’t rational here…
If you start from a culturalist critique and not a materialistic one, this is what happens.
I don’t understand shit of the quote. What is “americanization” according to the author?
Essentially the extreme form of liberal ideology that the USA has exported across the world post WW2. The key defining factors are the reduction of social organisation to only two factors, liberty viewed as freedom of private enterprise, and private property. The second key factor that defines this Americanization being the ideological seperation (as the two concepts are in reality inseparable) of economic and political life, in which the free market regulates economic life, and the political life is seperated from it and reduced to voting for a candidate who defines the rules for political life. A low intensity democracy if you will.
Samir Amin later went on to write “The Liberal Virus - Permanent War and the Americanization of the World” to expand on this concept.
so the ‘culturalist’ opponents defy something modern and evolutionary, like lgbt rights, on the grounds it is ‘americanization/westernization’. and the culturalists in the OP are defending anti-modern things in the guise of opposing westernization.
the problem i identify (and maybe he deals with this beyond the quote), is how we should know what is actually modern. because to return to lgbt rights, the suppression of them in the middle-east dates back to the nascent modernization programmes of states trying desperately to resist european colonialism. the very thing culturalists defend as invioable tradition was itself once the ‘evolutionary’ force.
It’s actually dealt with in the preface/introduction of the book. Firstly culturalism is defined:
In this work, I propose a critique of what can be called “culturalism.” I define culturalism as an apparently coherent and holistic theory based on the hypothesis that there are cultural invariants able to persist through and beyond possible transformations in economic, social, and political systems. Cultural specificity, then, becomes the main driving force of inevitably quite different historical trajectories.
Then modernity is critiqued.
Modernity is the product of nascent capitalism and develops in close association with the worldwide expansion of the latter. The specific logic of the fundamental laws that govern the expansion of capitalism leads to a growing l inequality and asymmetry on a global level. The societies at the peripheries are trapped in the impossibility of catching up with and becoming like the societies of the centers, today the triad of the United States, Europe, and Japan. In turn, this distortion affects modernity, as it exists in the capitalist world, so that it assumes a truncated form in the periphery. The culture of capitalism is formed and develops by internalizing the requirements of this asymmetric reality. Universalist claims are systematically combined with culturalist arguments, in this case Eurocentric ones, which invalidate the possible significance of the former.
The crisis of modernity is itself the sign of the obsolescence of the system. Bourgeois ideology, which originally had a universalist ambition, has renounced that ambition and substituted the postmodernist discourse of irreducible “cultural specificities” (in its crude form, the inevitable clash of cultures). As opposed to this discourse, I suggest that we begin with a view of modernity as a still incomplete process, which will only be able to go beyond the mortal crisis it is now undergoing through the reinvention of universal values. This implies the economic, social, and political reconstruction of all societies in the world.
The universalist values (such as LGBT rights) got undermined and invalidated during colonialism, the only way to move forward is a redefinition of universal values from a non eurocentric point of view, not rainbow capitalism/imperialism.
Prion diseases eating good off this
From the title I assumed this would be about Andy & Leyley.
That makes two bideo game poisoned brains.
I mean, the cannibal incest game that’s popular on the internet makes sense as a reference when people talk about cannibalism and incest on the internet

seems like the thread is agreeing that eating people and fucking family members is indeed bad

ah, fair lol
On top of everything else saying native Americans were cannibals is uniquely offensive.
The whole idea of wendigos is its what happens to you if you consume human flesh.
Entire villages committed mass suicide before winters if they didn’t have enough food so no one would have to resort to cannibalism.
On top of everything else saying native Americans were cannibals is uniquely offensive.
Because all Native Americans are Algonquian?
There have been some indigenous cultures that genuinely practiced cannibalism such as the Wari’, but to imply it was commonplace is not only incorrect but also doing the work of (ironically cannibalistic) European colonizers.
thinking back to a shipwreck i read about where the survivors decided to take a longer route to safety bc they thought the closest inhabited island was filled with scary cannibals
you’ll never guess what happened next~

that’s the one! thanks for the name, i was drawing a serious blank
Papists do weekly ritual cannibalism according to their own doctrine
The W* (which is how you should refer to it because invoking it’s name is frowned upon) isn’t just some monster horror story. In my tribe and others it is a cannibalistic spirit that may possess you if invoked. That being said there are several tribes where folks do eat their ancestors as a part of their funeral practices.
Really wishing it never got picked up by the internet spoopy creepypasta culture and turned into some zombie deer thing.
well possessed by a spirit of unquenchable murderous greed is not an unfair description of our society
I mean fair, but most of these internet depictions aren’t that so much as “big spooky deer what lives in the woods and eats u because”
Yeah its origin is probably closer to an uncanny valley “thing looks human but doesn’t act human and is dangerous.”
There’s usually a kernel of truth in a lot of the old indigenous legends and stories. These become traditions and rituals over time but likely started as practices to guard against actual dangers. Like funerary practices. If you go with exposure you don’t leave the body near where you live. Or you bury the dead. You might do this to “respect the spirits” but it also prevents disease and/or attracting undesired animals to your location.
should we all type G-d instead of God?

Bad take
it’s almost like different cultural traditions are different. It’s not a big ask that you when referencing a culture that has been the subject of sustained efforts to destroy it respect their terminology
Catfish just explained that her tribe believes that the thing possesss you if you invoke it. She’s just trying not to get possessed by a cannibal spirit.
