Apparently this is a map showing cannibalism from ancient China through to today. Obviously that context is intentionally left out of the post unless you read Chinese which on a primarily Anglo/English speaking site is just malicious at best and down right racist at worst.

Interestingly there is no mention of the fact that at a time when China didn’t do this, the Belgians were cutting the limbs of workers for failing to hit their rubber quotas.

I hate reddit.

    Listen here! You made fun of them for not reading what Victorians ate but you didn’t read about it either? They ate like, almost all the mummies for…their power or something.

    And made the rest into paint.

        You’ve been called out! Becoming the liberal you never wanted to see in the world. . .

        (side-note, they also ate like, living flesh, and there was such a big market for mummies that gravediggers were just digging up cemeteries to make fake mummies for sale)

            Blood of the freshly executed also was considered medicine in much of europe until about a bit over a century ago. And the big pedo gang still does cannibalistic rituals in which they drink the blood of God and eat his flesh.

              Yeah that always weirded me out when people did communion since all I heard was it literally as a kid
