Africans. Chinese. Russians. Indians. Brazil.
You linked the Chinese. They still do. Nothing like what Africa was like. They ate bodies off the ground, ate and drank warm blood, carted off the meat even eating it raw. Not linking, it's documented. They still do in places above. Russian cannibals, Russian cannibals were huge in the Russian famine of 1920-30s like they were in America in the great depression. Russia still has cannibals. There will be cannibals in the present war. Ukraine has had its share of cannibals. But historically WW1 and WW2 has had cannibals on every side. India has cannibals today, Hindus away from that tribe, used to eat the deceased flesh. There are other cults who still do. Cannibalism was prevalent in the famine prior to the French Revolution. Was historically common the 1800s, ships, wars, the globe. American civil war had cannibals like the war of Independence. Red indians also cannibalised. Far more press there.
Today there are far more places with cannibals. For example, there are estimated to be 800 German cannibals currently. Probably thousands more in China.
By the time when the Maoist killer rampages start, the famine caused by the Great Leap Forward were solved and those were ritualistic blood orgies. Basically demonic influence causing people to act like feral beasts.
Happens every famine. Dog eat dog.
But it happens outside of famine and starvation. There are people who practice it, ritualistically, criminally, fetishism, and curiousity.
Yes if the thinning fabric of society crumbles there is only hell to pay.
It is a lot more common than thought not. It has happened frequently in history. Has been common in many parts of the world in times of war, famine, and starvation.
I disagree demonic, although yes it has elements of occultism and ritual behind some who do and carry on doing despite abundance. Like everything else it's a power thing. They can, they will. Or simply a means of survival. Those who can believe in the power it offers, consuming another has caused more power. In India the cults who do believed it was love, some other rebirth eating their fallen kin. It continues today. Seriously doubt, they only eat their kin. African tribes power, blood rituals. Eating enemies, consuming their strength. Western fetishism and delicacies. Hallmarks of the occult. It gets quite sick why it's practiced.
Is it different to other meat who knows who cares until you choose it or rather not. But in extremes it's an obvious choice I'd sooner think. There's either food or there isn't. You would hate to eat yourself. People do without food. They eat leather, wood, mud, dirt, then it's their fingers and toes, or it's whatever they can take a bite out of in that situation.
