Some time in the past, liberal thinkers of the Western worldview cultivated a concept called “cultural relativism,” which has since rendered the Western mind a stupefied mess, unable to pass any sort of moral judgment at all on other cultures — let alone assert its own superiority when it’s warranted (almost all cultures have at least something that they offer better than the rest; the culture-making art is taking — “appropriating,” if you will — those elements of foreign cultures that are noble and discarding those that are not).
I have explored this phemonenon and its manifestations at great lengths in my expat memoir, Broken English Teacher: Notes From Exile.
We have seen the ramifications of cultural relativism, driven to its maximalist conclusion, play out in the recent melodrama regarding Haitian cannibal gangs.
Via NBC News:
“As Haiti faces an extreme political and societal crisis amid a wave of intense violence, tech billionaire Elon Musk and right-wing pundits online are weaponizing unverified claims of cannibalism coming out of the conflict to advance a political agenda on immigration.
Musk and conservative influencers have spread the message to millions, smearing Haitian migrants as cannibals as they endure deep uncertainty about the future of their country and family members still there.
The claims are getting tens of millions of views on the social media platform X, where false or misleading information has spread since Musk bought the app and slashed content moderation. Many of the people spreading the sensational claims are premium subscribers on X, meaning their content can make them money through advertising sales.
The accusations of widespread cannibalism are based on what experts said was a likely intimidation tactic from select gang members: In some videos, the most prominent examples being at least two years old, alleged members of violent gangs in Haiti appear to bite into human flesh. Experts said these videos are likely part of propaganda campaigns designed to scare rivals and terrorize local Haitians rather than a reflection of common or normalized behavior. One former armed group went by the name ‘Cannibal Army.’”
Well, the acknowledgment of the practice of institutionalized cannibalism doesn’t get much more explicit than naming one’s gang “Cannibal Army.”
But let’s not let such an admission get in the way of the classic practice of white self-flagellation.
Via Rolling Stone:
“There’s a long, shameful history of white westerners baselessly accusing Haitians of cannibalism and human sacrifice, often connecting them to Haitian Vodou, a heavily stereotyped African diasporic religion.”
Of course, the practice of cannibalism as a tool of war and political intimidation and spiritual empowerment among descendants of Africans is well-documented, perhaps nowhere better than this Vice documentary (when Vice produced quality work).
The reality, is, though, that this current media narrative is a classic case of gaslighting and goalpost-shifting, playing on the well-conditioned self-hatred and cultural relativism engrained in the minds of the whites.
For now, we have the denials from the likes of NBC that cannibalism exists at all — or, if it does, that it’s a freak occurrence and not indicative of any sort of cultural tolerance of the practice.
However, even if it came to light that cannibalism were practiced far and wide in Haiti — even if the country made a national holiday out of it by popular referendum — the next move from the media liberal class would be to celebrate Haitian cannibalism as an act of sacred cultural Diversity™ and smear anyone who objected as a White Supremacist™ bigot.
That’s how this game gets played.

The good news is racist cannibals prefer dark meat to white meat. Just like chicken!
The white meat has too many fibrin clots.
Jerk-haitian street vendor food!
Haitians must ask, is this organic fed or is it UN raised human meat ?

If it is really no big deal why don’t we have reporters on scene from most of the legacy media doing interviews with the supposed cannibals?
They are chicken shit.
Have you ever had to field strip and clean a presstitute? They’re safe.
Nothing would surprise me regarding Haiti and the predominance of pure ignorance and savagery .
The island nation is split by a heavily guarded border Civilized Dominican Republic and Haitian nigger shithole on the other .
From the beginning it was a dumping ground for slaves headed to the colonies in north & South America. Those unfit health wise to make the journey due to poor health were tossed overboard some got to shore some were shark food .
Then clean up the rest of the slave cargo feed and water them to fetch a good price auction .
Obviously the Haitian nation has had nothing but corruption in any type of government for decades . When corrupt politicians and foreign aid groups coming in to take full advantage of the nations majority ignorant population as billions are skimmed off aid packages ask the Irish cell phone CEO of Ericsson a great supporter of the Clintons Foundation that just happened to get the communication contract after a major catastrophic event between earthquakes and hurricanes the cash just rolls in and out and the population never gets a sniff .
I just can’t imagine where it goes ?
As for cannibalism the population has had good teachers unfortunately they are left in such a state of desperation they will resort to taking a bite of the hand feeding them .
Regardless of the tasty hands good intentions !
Edited: Sez the person who goes to Haiti and finds out it ain’t propaganda. I dare him to go. Go!
Everybody has to serve someone, even if it’s the guy from down the road from your house. Frank’s hot sauce, that shit’s good on everything.

I don’t know about Haiti, but when a population is starving to death, cannibalism isn’t uncommon. History shows that a population in extremis will choose for their offspring to survive if they can.
