the air of human extinction is innate to it;
the underlying experience of human sacrifice motivates every action produced by it,
whether the murderous cartel culture in south america or the WEC depopulation and degrowth agenda in north america; their views on "excess" are perennial.

They had human sacrifice in Europe too.
That's not human sacrifice, are you moronic?
Well, they are being killed, and their bodies displayed, guy holding a cross to them. Sure looks like human sacrifice.
Ok I was wrong, I looked up the definition and apparently even capital punishment counts as human sacrifice. But in this case the term practically doesn't even mean anything
I never understood why there is a dichotomy between europeans burning witches and aztecs offering hearts to the sun god.
I'm as far as you can possibly get to one of those "le aztecs killed 1000 gorillion people every second people!" types, but they were pretty different. Witch burning was an uncommon punishment for a perceived religious crime, Mesoamerican human sacrifice was an extremely widespread, thousand year-old, highly ritualized practice integral to every local religion in the region, and was closely tied together to their political and military doctrines as well as their worldview and philosophy.
One wasn't anywhere near as common as people might think, the other was literally as common, widespread and natural to its practicioners as the idea of dying in a war at all.
>Mesoamerican human sacrifice was an extremely widespread, thousand year-old, highly ritualized practice integral to every local religion in the region, and was closely tied together to their political and military doctrines as well as their worldview and philosophy.
Oh yeah, I know the witch burnings area a bad example, but all of this description could be equally applied to executions in europe. Where quite often the religion is involved and this activity is viewed as integral to the satisfaction of the deity and the functioning of society.
Yeah, the point of the response isn't to argue that witch burnings were anywhere near as common as Mesoamerican human sacrifice, but rather to point out that Christianity also has religiously motivated ritual murder in its list of practices. This is because the people who blow a gasket about Mesoamerican human sacrifice do so on the grounds that religiously motivated ritual murder is inherently bad in all circumstances and must never be done, which is obviously hypocritical to say if you're a practitioner of a religion that does (theoretically) practice religiously motivated ritual murder.
I'd still say a dichotomy between people getting systemically executed for crimes (especially with little to no ritual) like in your pic and random infants getting sacrificed in specifically painful ways, on specifically designed altars to please a deity, would make sense.
Well I like the example of the 30 years war, since the executions in that war were very much done to please some deity.o
Witch burning was a punishment for a crime. It might have been a bullshit crime to us modern people but it was punishment for a crime nonetheless. Also it was an unhappy event and was not an essential part of European culture. Europeans did not build massive monuments to burning witches and shit for example and it was not an essential pillar of Christianity.
Meanwhile, human sacrifice was an ESSENTIAL part of mesoamerican culture. Monuments and art were created to CELEBRATE it and it was routinely inflicted on entirely innocent people, including children. When I say innocent, I don’t mean falsely accused like witches in Europe, I mean they had done nothing to deserve getting sacrificed besides the fact that le sun god demanded it. Comparing European witch burnings and public executions to Mesoamerican human sacrifice is merely a dishonest leftoid attempt to minimize the actions of the Aztecs because they refuse to accept that the Mexica actually were evil as frick like the Spanish said they were and that would make le evil colonizers right about something. In fact, newer archaeological evidence has confirmed that not only is most of the shit the Spanish claimed true, but that the Aztecs were actually even more cruel and evil than what we originally thought.
Frankly, I don’t give a frick about who the Aztecs killed or why. That shit happened 500 years ago, no use in b***hing about it anymore. The point is, leftists try to deny this history for modern political purposes and it is important to call that out when it happens. Leftists archaeologists and anthropologists tried for decades to prove that the human sacrifices didn’t happen or that they weren’t as common as the Spanish claimed. That backfired massively, and now they’ve moved on to drawing false equivalences to European capital punishment. It’s all one giant political cope.
>I mean they had done nothing to deserve getting sacrificed
Note that this sentence is describing the aztec victims not the european ones. Its probably just a severe cultural bias that enables you to hold such bizzare standards of 'innocent'. Europeans killed innocent people and made rt about it, aztecs killed innocent people and made art about it.
Also you don't know this about the aztecs? Their choice of sacrifice was often from enemy armies, the defeated soldiers are offered up. Just like this
>The left this, the left that
Stop parroting ideological points and start thinking by yourself.
The aztecs sacrificed mostly enemy soldiers. Their whole culture was around sacrifice, because they didn't kill people during battles, their strategy was made for capturing people, not killing outright. That was even one of the reasons they couldn't fight spaniards properly: they were too focused on ambush tactics for capturing and getting close while the spaniards just shot them on sight.
And it wasn't even just the Aztecs. Everyone on Mesoamerica did that, the Aztecs just became conquerors because they had the bigger army and well-trained soldiers. It's based on religion and its well ingrained into their very civilization.
The europeans, meanwhile, killed innocent people for wrongthinking. There's not even a religious motive for that, as the Bible don't tell anything about killing women and children brutally for petty, ignorant reasons. It's pure hypocrisy and ignorance.
Also, the europeans still did kill people in battles. While the aztecs weren't focused on killing people on sight, because ot was more important for then killing theor enemies later in a ritual, the europeans killed people on sight, and YET still practiced persecutions on their own people and killed millions for religious reasons.
It's funny you handwaving european religious persecutions because they are too old, and we can't judge them on our modern morality. Because the aztecs also did what they did for religious reasons, but that you couldn't accept.
So stop your bullshit bias. Everyone 500 years ago were bloodthirsty barbarians, there's no good guys. You are just parroting some 5 century old narrative made by genocidal freaks and their supporters.
Name one post-Christian European culture that sacrificed young children to god because they thought their tears pleased him.
Name one Mesoamerican culture that killed young children living next door because their parents were members of the wrong church.
NTA but have you heard of the castrato? Might be a fate worse than death. Gotta keep those voices high for god.
When did Europeans stop burning innocent women alive for Jesus
The people being hanged are literally violent criminals
They are members of a religious movement. Their crime is believing the wrong thing. Its the 30 years war.
