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.
This is the kind of shit you would find on 4chan or worse, just plain racist misinfo designed to inflame everyone who comes in contact with it.
I won’t lie, back in the day I used to see Reddit as a place full of educated people who only made long, well-written, well-researched posts in good faith, devoid of any kind of trolling or low-effort material. Those days are LONG gone. Nowadays it only seems to get worse every day.
Yep, 4chan is like one of the worst places on the internet. Everyone uses Anon bc the few people with usernames get stalked or spammed
machine translated:
The map shows the areas where cannibalism has occurred since the Qin and Han dynasties, mainly as a result of famine, siege by war and predation by armed exiles. Other scattered areas are mainly the result of specific historical events.
So, it’s actually pretty small number for a country that suffered through a famine literally every single year for thousands of years until communists put an end to the famines.
Not to mention huge wars every now and then, some of the bloodiest wars in human history occured there. Until communists stopped that too.
it’s hard to tell from this map that has no scale. is it 1 area = 1 person eaten? all this tells you is that there was cannibalism there at some point. that’s anywhere from 1 cannibalism to infinity cannibalism
Small dots are more probably single cases and the red areas are where it occured on bigger scale. Note it’s apparently agregation from over 2000 years.
Plus – not to sound lib, but what were a whole lot of Europeans doing 2000 years ago? As a Y*nkee with a German surname, I can pretty confidently say that a whole lot of my ancestors were slaughtering each other with spears and clubs back then, not Building Civilization & Social Democracy.
Well Chinese were also killing eachother in great numbers back then, but somehow they never managed to knock themselves into the dark ages despite internal strife was intense and migrations were no less than in Europe (or maybe even greater).
Actually, they did had something of a semi official confederacy during Spring and Autumn which was to ensure their internal feuds won’t escalate into all out annihilation war, and that sentiment in this or that form lasted until Qin managed to unite the country, then it was made obsolete by the idea of unified empire.
Northern Europe back then was wilderness sparsely populated by tribals.
Did you know that Europeans ate mummies?
This is the worst one to me: french culture everyone.

It sounds like a descendent of the Roman festival Cerealia where they set fox tails on fire. But they managed to make it even fucking worse.
France in a nutshell: Take fucked up things from the past. Make them even worse.
I come from an industrial city that has a long history of (extreme) poverty. Due to this poverty it’s a bit of an urban legend that people used to kill cats in the streets and eat them. Yay for capitalism.
But this is just fucked up.
I wish it was a moment ago when I didn’t know this information
Wtf 😱 no!
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.
Oooooof
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)
I’d heard of corpse medicine just not them being served at dinner parties 😱
I’m now quitting lemmygrad everyone. This is farewell 😪
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
And made paint from them
I clearly don’t know all the wacky bs Europe got up to that I should 💀
One of my favourites (to hate) is when they started sending missionaries all around Europe to give the peasants demonstrations on the one and only correct sexual position.
It sounds fake at one point
They also crushed em up and snorted them like they were lines of cocaine
lmao, poster is from another fictional independence movement that literally has “CIA” in the name
Lmao what a dork 🤣
When r/dataisbeautiful is calling you out for being stupidly anti-communist, you are a real fork.
A sandwich short of a picnic if you will
map porn is so lib infested, half the maps are maps of ukraine and such, this isn’t even close to the first racist propaganda posted there
the funniest thing is that they posted this as propaganda but accidentally ended up admitting taiwan was part of china
Lmao admitting Taiwan is part of China to own the lefties
the funniest thing is that they posted this as propaganda but accidentally ended up admitting taiwan was part of china
lol
spreading extremely racist propaganda to help nudge the world just a tiny bit further to a nuclear apocalypse for the funny R*ddit points
Classic reddit 👌
“Yes, we might all be playing Fallout on Survival+ difficulty in real life now, but at least we had high karma on Reddit!”
Thank you for the gold, kind strrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
“We did it Reddit!”
(they caused nuclear armageddon)

EAT THE RICH
Meanwhile Westoids romanticize and soyface over Vikings and Germanic barbarians… who practiced cannibalism, lived in shitshacks, and and smeared shit and blood over themselves in their pagan rituals n whatnot… But apparently that’s supposed to be ‘cool’ and ‘badass’… Yea, it’s only ‘cool’ and ‘badass’ if the blonde hair blue eye aRyAnS do it, but evil and savage when the yellow man does it.
Westoid hypocrisy 😒
It’s not really cool either way. It’s just not true in either case.
Romans and western Europeans painted vikings and barbarians as undeveloped, primitive and brutish.
Western europeans painted China as undeveloped, primitive and brutish (opium wars, ww2)
Everyone is a a barbarian to someone.
To the west is anyone that doesn’t bend the knee to them.
Wait’ll they learn what Victorian English people liked to snack on. . .
That would require them to actually read history.
If you mention this on reddit they would label you a SeePeeSee Shill and proceed to say the most virulently sinophobic thing you’ve ever heard of
Classic day for them really

Cannibalism I guess?
It shows the state of the cannibalism-o-meter, obviously 😏
Right next to the authoritarian-o-meter
