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

    We keep letting it happen, despite knowing exactly what could be done to stop it. The meme is about excuses made in order to not change things at the wider level, not the murderous intent or lack thereof of whoever ends up doing this all too frequent ritual.
