On the logic (and goodness and preferability) of human sacrifice
It is a law of existence that to gain something great, you must give up something of importance, and for giving up something important, your reward will be some even better than it was.
This is just a law of nature in a world every good comes with a bad side, and every dark cloud has a silver living, yet progress occurs anyway, so that the good comes to outweigh the bad and things are always, over the long term (there must be occasional regresses), getting better and better.
All the old wisdoms, like all the ancient religions, taught the need to make sacrifices, from animals to humans. And the more value the sacrifice, as they all knew -- because all those people were keen to the workings of this world, and to how everything good entails bad things first -- the greater the reward would be after you performed the sacrifice.
The Industrial World, which has brought more good than any age of mankind before it, is based on human sacrifice, specifically on the hard and destructive -- destructive to the body and to the spirit -- exploitation and domination of those who work to create industrial goods and services. In fact, the world is now regressing because we have too little sacrifice going on, what with all these protections for humans and all these safety nets to protect people from becoming proper sacrifices to the Age of Industrial Goodness. So we have decided that we, as modern people, no longer have the strength to sacrifice people like we used to, and as a result we are seeing less and less goodness in our own lives.
But it's one thing to sacrifice some poor worker who would lead a stunted life anyway, whether he were exploited in the modern economy or not, and it is quite another to sacrifice an oligarch and his family. Remember, the greater the sacrifice, the even greater the reward.
Therefore, if we threw one million of the top "one percenters" into the flames of sacrifice, like literally burning them as burnt sacrifices, or else just making them into
