    This comic says nothing about any of those things. The characters aren’t from any of those groups. There is no reference to genocide; ritual sacrifice typically entails within-group violence.

    The famous quote, which the comic is presumably referring to, isn’t about race or genocide either.

    “democracy is the worst form of Government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time” -Winston Churchill

      not an expert but [citation needed] on the “within-group violence” statement. From what I remember they quite often sacrificed captured slaves from other nations and ethnicities.

        I don’t have any numbers on it but it’s often both. Sacrifice, as a religious practice, has a lot of variation.

        But I’m not aware of any serious claims that ritual sacrifice has anything to do with genocide.
