Would the Salem Witch Trials be considered human sacrifice or religious punishment?

I think it could be both. I dunno how sacrificial victims were chosen in much older societies but it makes sense that the victims have to be selected in a way that makes sense in their cultural context. Ritual victims aren’t going to all fit a common profile across all societies, so it might just be that we execute people even to this day that some future people with a better understanding of human psychology and social structures would classify as ritualized sacrifice.

That’s how the victims were selected, sure, but what precipitated the need for the sacrifices (in this fun model I’m proposing where any murder the state undertakes in cold blood is a ritual sacrifice) before the victims get selected?

Edit:

I’m wondering if there are any good materialist/leftist histories of the Salem witch trials anyone can recommend

I always think about John Titor and how he poignantly said after being questioned about over half the world getting killed off from a war or whatever something like “But honestly maybe half the world dying was kind of a good thing?” Since he claimed it eliminated global warming and many systemic inequalities as society rebuilt and the rich weren’t spared or whatever.

Then I think about HTML web pages and tue early 2000s.

quote:

I want to tell you about how most ordinary people think about Judaism and Israel in Middle Eastern Arab countries.

But first: I have lived and visited throughout the region. I have sat in tents all night in the desert during Ramadan playing cards, drinking chai and arguing politics with my Arab friends. When serving a tour in Kuwait, I became so close to certain of our Kuwaiti allies that I was accused of "going native." I have fought alongside Iraqis. I have studied the dynamics of Middle Eastern politics and strategy in formal settings, and I have overwhelmingly fond memories of the many Arab friends and acquaintances I have made, some of whom I am still friends with today. Thus, it is with great regret that I am about to say the following:

If you want to know what the vast majority of Middle Eastern Arab citizens thinks about Judaism and Israel, imagine the very most rabid antisemitic Twitter user you ever encountered--the kind who drones on endlessly about "the Rothschilds," how Israelis are "occupiers," how maybe Jews really do drink the blood of Gentile babies and how Hitler wasn't all bad. Think about the beliefs such a person must hold about Judaism and Israel, and the crazed propaganda such a person must necessarily hold to be true in order to support such beliefs.

Then multiply that person's beliefs by five, and there you have what the average Middle Eastern Arab citizen thinks is true about Judaism and Israel. It is a wall of impenetrable propaganda that is simply immune to reason and reality. Those beliefs are taught in schools and understood to be verifiably true. Such beliefs are wildly irrational, yet so pervasive that their believers think they are wholly rational.

That is what anyone is up against in trying to establish peace in the Middle East.

I swear there was a post here before with a twitter screenshot of some indian nationalist telling Mia Khalifa he was going to delete all his movies of her in protest against her stance on Palestine.

Could someone hook me up, I've gone through the last few pages of the threads I've read multiple times but can't see it.

The barest fragment of fairness here: It is difficult to communicate to an AI what you want in a way that it will understand if you want something quite specific. There is certainly a technique to this. It's probably more difficult than telling an artist even, an artist is a sapient thinking being who can fill in blanks and ask for clarifications to get you what you want!

But... why act like it's comparable to being an artist? It's the same skillset as finding something in a search engine but taken up a notch.
