A two panel Comic.

First panel is set somewhere in the middle ages in south america. A child is sacrificed on an altar.

The people observing this say: why do we have to kill kids? - it’s not a “killing”, it’s a “sacrifice”. - if we didn’t sacrifice kids the rain god will be mad… - … and the rain may stop falling… - … and our crops would stop growing … - …and we’ll starve to death!

Second panel is modern day street scene, a dead child is lifted into an ambulance, a crushed tricycle left on the road.

The people observing this say: why do we have to kill kids? - it’s not a “killing”, it’s a “car accident”. - if we motorists had to drive slower, it would hurt car sales… - … and the economy would be upset… - … and we’ll all lose our jobs… - …and we’ll starve to death!

I did not see this banger of a comic on here, so have it, please

    The design of cities and their traffic infrastructure is very well researched. We know how to make better cities that kill a lot less people, but have failed to do so for decades. Seems pretty intentional to me or at least willfully ignorant/acceptant.

    Also the people in the first scene arent killing the person themselves directly, but their decisions as a culture are. Same applies to the bottom one.
