Fellas, is it leftist to not eat a person and also not fuck your sister?

Me the ultimate leftist going down on my sister just as Marx intended

The "oral with your sister" / "anal with your father" schism is tearing leftism apart.
- That's right, I'm a Marxist-Mullenist, being gay with your dad is a prelude to the revolution
- Wait we were supposed to choose?
- There's definitely something "tearing" there but not sure if its just leftism

Cannibalism as a widespread cultural practice is actually super fucking rare outside of England.

- Let's not forget their fondness of powdered Irish skulls.
Aren't all Christians cannibals? Don't they believe they're eating the body of Christ? Sorry I don't fully understand transubstantiation.
- Only Catholic dogma still believe that it literally turns into the flesh and blood of Christ. Protestants generally acknowledge it as a symbol, not the real deal.
- insofar as jesus was crucified in order to deliver humanity from sin, god gave up his own son, which is reflected in the ritual of the eucharist: jesus' blood and flesh gives sustenance to his church. i think it's a cool ritual personally, i'm not sure if other religions have the sacrifice of its own prophet as a foundational belief.

Everything indigenous groups have ever done is good, actually. I am very smart.

Ritual human sacrifice to appease the gods? Not actually that bad! Kill the krakkka inside your head.

I mean, it wasn't that bad compared to the scale of human sacrifice in Europe at the time, yes I am including executions in this metric
- .Europeans are also indigenous to Europe.

Are these people feds?

Because they're overdoing it, the left cannot be character assassinated any further.

Regardless of whether or not these people are feds, I think this kind of shit is a reasonable argument for the need to have a centralized party or parties that have the power to censure or expell members.
. Not us this time!

Prion diseases eating good off this

As far as I can tell that’s just an increased risk of transmission, if the disease is already there in the eaten. It doesn’t create prion diseases out of nowhere. But it also seems pretty easy to avoid by just not eating the brain.
(Not that cannibalism is ok, ofc)

On top of everything else saying native Americans were cannibals is uniquely offensive.

The whole idea of wendigos is its what happens to you if you consume human flesh.

Entire villages committed mass suicide before winters if they didn't have enough food so no one would have to resort to cannibalism.

There have been some indigenous cultures that genuinely practiced cannibalism such as the Wari', but to imply it was commonplace is not only incorrect but also doing the work of (ironically cannibalistic) European colonizers.
- thinking back to a shipwreck i read about where the survivors decided to take a longer route to safety bc they thought the closest inhabited island was filled with scary cannibals
  you'll never guess what happened next~
- Papists do weekly ritual cannibalism according to their own doctrine
The W* (which is how you should refer to it because invoking it's name is frowned upon) isn't just some monster horror story. In my tribe and others it is a cannibalistic spirit that may possess you if invoked. That being said there are several tribes where folks do eat their ancestors as a part of their funeral practices.
- Really wishing it never got picked up by the internet spoopy creepypasta culture and turned into some zombie deer thing.
- So in these stories, a person doesn't "become" the creature but is instead possessed by it? Does doing cannibalism also in some manner attract or invoke it?
  Also, you are referring to it in the singular. Is there just one or is it sort of an "uncountable" presence or emanation or something?
cannibalism has factually been practiced by many groups, including some indigenous to the americas. limiting it to US-occupied peoples i can't think of any examples, but that isn't what the OP asserted.
- The Aztecs practiced Cannibalism
Isn't cannibalism as a practice more a thing in Indonesia on the other side of the world? Like kuru is a thing and if you need a word for disease from eating people's brains, then there's probably a non-insignificant amount of eating people. Not like mayos don't ever eat people though. Europeans would grind up mummies and drink a tincture of the dust as a miracle medicine, which is pretty weird and gross.
On top of everything else saying native Americans were cannibals is uniquely offensive.
Because all Native Americans are Algonquian?
- Yup that's exactly what I said thank you for highlighting that.
The whole idea of wendigos is its what happens to you if you consume human flesh.
I mostly thought they're just Indigenous people talking about white people:
hairy
pale
smells like shit
insatiable greed

Getting prion diseases to own the leftists.

I will not eat the people.

I will not fuck the sister.

seems like the thread is agreeing that eating people and fucking family members is indeed bad

i think cannibalism is a fine barometer of cultural relativism and lingering western chauvinism. to take the most charitable approach to op1, 'ritual cannibalism to honor the dead' is quite different from the consumption of enemies or strangers--for which our objection would be the violation of those non-consensual victims' consent or rights. but the Fore community in which Kuru famously spread did not practice that, theirs was the consumption of family/community members after natural death. i can't format an objection to that, besides the associated healthrisk---which modern medicine could probably prevent if applied to the problem. the Kuru outbreak actually killed that tradition so it's kind of academic to debate, but i think it's important examine knee-jerk demonization of foreign ritual on honest terms, and to apply a consistent standard to all sorts.

for a more practical question: should a religious practitioner be permitted to fast to death? a voluntary religiously-motivated suicide gets very different billing based on the context, and whether that's justified should be examined. maybe one is permissive of a fasting death or a self-immolation, but not an allegedly voluntary sacrifice, or a jonestown? what are the limits to religious freedom and bodily autonomy, and are those informed by a christian socialization or a materialist basis?

endnote: no, lol to the incest. my actual stance on religion is full abolition before someone twists this into support for mostly dead religions, this is about racist and chauvinistic attitudes that socialists are not automatically immune from

the Kuru outbreak actually killed that tradition so it's kind of academic to debate
Seems to me that this is the answer to the question in most cases. Historically, some cultures practiced cannibalism but most have stopped and I don't know of any active movements to bring back that practice. There's an ethnocentric tendency to think of mainstream culture as one which evolves over time but minority cultures are static traditionalist museum pieces. That couldn't be further from the truth - minority cultures change in response to new conditions and information too.
I would go even so far as to argue that using indigenous cultures to try to justify cannibalism is engaging in the "noble savage" trope.
- the Kuru affair happened in the 1950s-60s, not exactly the remote past. the problem is that "new conditions and information" in most cases consisted of christianizing, colonial influences. i don't think we can chalk up the fact people getting colonized and missionary'd tend to abandon cannibalism as a natural development of culture
  I would go even so far as to argue that using indigenous cultures to try to justify cannibalism is engaging in the "noble savage" trope.
  just the opposite of anything i've asserted but ok
people be eating their own amputated limbs every now an then. if mr beast starts paying people to do it and buying them prosthetics etc so he can sate his lust for human flesh we can revisit the issue. in a more equal society where such coercion wouldn't be possible there's only the food safety concerns.
no, lol to the incest
the problems with it are coercion/grooming and reproductive genetic risk. if you remove those somehow it's still bad to normalize the practice because "we didn't know we were related" almost never happens and actual violence happens consistently.
- "we didn't know we were related" almost never happens and actual violence happens consistently
  exactly, there's firm irreligious objections to incest with the thought-experiment defenses being so peculiar and rare they're not worth treating with. if there ever were someone arrested for 'we didn't know!' like sure, free them but the diagnostic there is a less awful justice system, not philosophical musing on a fetishized sex crime
i can't format an objection to that, besides the associated healthrisk---which modern medicine could probably prevent if applied to the problem
I think you would come up against real problems there. bottom line eating someone just carries the risk of catching any infectious diseases they have
- you could test for them i imagine? but like compare Mad Cow & other meat-eating risks 1st world resources are applied to that make consumption of animal products relatively safe
Some things should simply not be permitted in society regardless of what oppressed group practices it.
- i didn't assert Fore funerary cannibalism was okay because they are oppressed.
- very little you can do about fasting to death as well. You would basically have to imprison and forcefeed them
  just have to rely on the fact no major religion calls for it and people natively don't want to starve to death

(cw: cannibalism of stick figures)

You aren't a true leftist unless you're part of an elaborate Aristocrats joke

Do we even have a rule about links any longer?

OP is a lib https://nitter.net/Pluto_Effigy/status/1727716807409094709

Hilariously, /r/tankiejerk also complained about this post.

It's probably one of their lot larping "as a leftist". Same shit the fascists have done with "as a black man" forever. They used to do it with feminist stuff too, make completely psychotic accounts that they larped as and then used that as a content mine for the misogyny subreddits like trp pussypass etc etc.
- Idk ive seen plenty if anarchist accounts argue that consensual cannibalism and incest shouldnt be illegal. The other day i saw a "thats gross, but not necissarily against my ideology' post go around and people pretty much all said those two things or kink stuff.
  This is a pretty extreme example of that i guess but not out of charachter.

Guessing this is all actually about that incest cannibal coffin game.

The what
- It's called laylees Coffin or something like that, a girl has sex with her brother to manipulate him into helping kill and eat their neighbor

I do not know if the culturalist opponents of the real world and its evolutionary trends, understood as Americanization by some and Westernization by others, can be described as rational. Confronted by the threat of Americanization, some defend unique "cultural values"...This is a dangerous situation, and the danger is enhanced by adherence to the principle of irresponsibility. It is dangerous because the (capitalist) system has reached a stage characterized by the monstrous power of its destructive capacities. As I said above, the system is capable of destroying human beings, nature, and whole societies.

Samir Amin, Eurocentrism.

They certainly aren't rational here...

If you start from a culturalist critique and not a materialistic one, this is what happens.

I don't understand shit of the quote. What is "americanization" according to the author?
- Essentially the extreme form of liberal ideology that the USA has exported across the world post WW2. The key defining factors are the reduction of social organisation to only two factors, liberty viewed as freedom of private enterprise, and private property. The second key factor that defines this Americanization being the ideological seperation (as the two concepts are in reality inseparable) of economic and political life, in which the free market regulates economic life, and the political life is seperated from it and reduced to voting for a candidate who defines the rules for political life. A low intensity democracy if you will.
  Samir Amin later went on to write "The Liberal Virus - Permanent War and the Americanization of the World" to expand on this concept.

From the title I assumed this would be about Andy & Leyley.

That makes two bideo game poisoned brains.
- I’m pretty sure that game gave me more mental illness.
  I love it. And I’m so horny for both of them.
- I mean, the cannibal incest game that's popular on the internet makes sense as a reference when people talk about cannibalism and incest on the internet
I was gonna say Milei

Fed-to-fed communication

I could see ritual cannibalism being a funerary rite. Gotta watch out for dem prions though.

I ran a DnD campaign once were two cultures practiced different variations of ritual cannibalism. One used their dead family members as fertilizer, the other straight up ate them. It was combined with ancestor worship and both cultures had a heavy focus on family and heritage. It was a great honor to be invited to dine on a family member, the more people that dined on a person the more prestigious they were. Eating veggies grown on someone was likewise seen as a great honor.
The cultures also fucking hated each other, like scots and other scots lol.
It took place in a world were space was at a premium, so no burial sites were really available, which led to people getting very intricate funeral rites. Only the wealthy got buried.

literally who cares, eat people if you want to and don't eat people if you don't want to, why is this hard to get

I'd eat people meat if it was grown in a lab tbh. I'd feel weird about it, but I'd do it.

As leftists we shouldn't question countries where women and minorities are oppressed and have their rights taken away. The oppression is part of their culture and we should never question any culture whatsoever.
