Many modern Westerners don't know this but 16th century Europeans practiced cannibalism. It was medicinal cannibalism and they consumed mummia. They believed eating and drinking parts of the body would heal them because like cures like. Cannibalism is painted as a thing "primitive" people do but the reality is 16th century Europeans, who were allegedly "civilized", did it. That and cultures that do or did practice cannibalism aren't barbaric and evil. There are reasonings behind it just like with 16th century Europeans. Hear me out. The Wari' used to eat their dead loved ones to keep their souls with them rather than wandering the forest alone. It was an act of love. That's a lot different from what modern Westerners imagine cannibalism to be. Either Jeffrey Dahmer or fictional movies that continue the tradition misrepresenting, demonizing, and dehumanizing indigenous peoples. #indigenous #imperialism #colonialism #antiimperialism #anticolonialism #whitesupremacy #dehumanization #demonization #genocide #ethnocentrism #culture #tolerance
