Stop this crap. Stop it. "Literal cannibals" ok, cute some sources. We've got plenty of examples of cannibalism in Europe--specific circumstances and motivations, and everyone being horrified. These two continents had millions upon millions of inhabitants in hundreds of groups. https://twitter.com/JasonSCampbell/status/1249780203263582212
I know she's just a very loud troll, but this kind of anti-Indigenous bullshit cannot stand. Let's say there was a group noted for cannibalism--fine. You've decided that one group represents all of the many Indigenous people of two continents? Are you kidding?
Ok, the cannibalism outbreak at Ma'arrat al-Nu'man is now representative of all medieval Europeans.

That's the kind of logic people like this want us to accept, to justify white supremacist settler colonialism and anti-Native violence.
Also, the framing episode she is using never happened and PragerU is a hate site. Just... to make sure it's said.
And if I'm saying quiet parts out loud: white people are never reduced into such a caricature in historiography. The languages, kingdoms, religions of Europeans are always delineated. It's only people of color around the globe who get compressed into si gular representations.
This is white supremacy in its imperialist historical heart. There are so many different language families, cultural groupings, empires, across two continents with staggeringly diverse landscapes and environments.
"The Aztecs performed human sacrifice and ate people!" First of all you're citing the Federalist so STFU. Second, it was Mixtec, Zapotec, Tlaxcalans and others who made up the army that took down the Triple Alliance, because they knew and feared and hated the Aztecs.
...the Aztecs then became one of the bedrocks of New Spain. So...
The Eucharist relies of performative cannibalism on a weekly basis in the name of God. The atrocities of settlers is well documented. Pocahontas was Matoaka and was kidnapped and raped by the English as a teenager. The Pilgrims murdered Wampanoag leaders 3 years after the "First
Thanksgiving." Anti-Native hate is written into the Declaration of Independence. Shut the hell up with your pious white supremacist nonsense.
