- aaomidi 3y agoWait until you realize that a lot of human sacrifice in the past had willing victims. Willing being a bit of a stretch considering the entire society was conditioned to believe it was necessary. Anyway, I’ll leave you with that and maybe you’ll go do some research on this topic.
- mchaver 3y agoI think it still exists in some extreme groups. Just think about any cause worth dying for an you essentially find an argument for a sacrifice. In fact I remember the Texas governor Dan Patrick saying a lot of grandparents would be willing to sacrifice themselves during Covid for the economy (oddly he did not seem to be willing to lead by example).
