>It's hard not to economically progress when one robs and sabotages all the largest economies in the world. You mean what literally every society and culture was doing for all of human history? Native tribes across the globe were in perpetual war. Why do you think it was called the Aztec Empire as just one example? Every primitive culture would have done the same thing if they had the technology. Deception is a recurring theme in The Art of War and similar strategic works across time. Ancient Greece, ancient Rome, China, Persia, Islamic empires, etc. >You are pointing out rituals in the rest of the world but these were occassional ceremonies. lol no they weren't, human sacrifice happened dozens of times a day every day in Mayan and Aztec civilization. Cannibalism was a regular staple in many native American and African tribes. All your comments on cannibalism are complete bullshit. The mummy eating stuff was basically over by the 17th century, except in rare instances. Eating mummies is also completely different from literally killing someone for the purpose of eating them, or decapitating/ripping the heart out of someone for human sacrifice. For someone claiming objective facts you certainly don't have any. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_incidents_of_cannibalism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_incidents_of_canniba...

>basically non existent in western culture after the 15th century >basically over by the 17th century It went from 15th century to 17th century? I like that you are admitting you dont know basic European history and based on your factually deficient response, you still have a lot to catch up on. I will leave you to do that.

  No it didn't, you'll notice I had very precise descriptors in each comment. I'm glad you accept that your perspective that Western colonials were uniquely bad is blatantly false.

    >Eating mummies is also completely different from literally killing someone for the purpose of eating them... Europeans did both. Everything I stated is factual and didnt require alteration or retraction. You on the other hand, have been proven wrong over and over again and that anecdata from a wikipedia page as a source is laughable. Re-read the thread and quotes, perhaps you missed the part where you lost this argument. We need to argue using facts and citations, not feelings. You, for one, being off by 2-3 centuries is not trivial in a discussion of recent history.

      Your hyper focused whataboutism on European cannibalism and refusal to acknowledge the myriad examples and counters regarding human sacrifice, war, technology enabled conquest, cultural norms across the globe, cannibalism, and particularly that Western societies didn't do anything everybody else wasn't already attempting, they just did it better and had more progressive cultures while doing so, doesn't do your argument any favors mate. My points stand on firm foundations in context. Luckily, debate is for the observer, not bad faith historical revisionists with anti Western indoctrination.
