If animal sacrifice became common again, I would expect articles to mention the fact that it was a human practice for millennia – and not pretend it's just a fringe thing those pesky Other People invented.
Homeschooling was also the default thing a ±century ago, while you'd need to go back pretty far to find true animal/human sacrifice in European/European-American culture.
- Manuel_D 3y agoThe default thing in preindustrial societies was no formal education for the vast majority of the population. The elite - a small slice of the population - was homeschooled by private tutors, and artisans (also small % of population) went into apprenticeships. This isn't really analogous to a vision of the world where the majority of the population is schooled at home.
