Toward a world without victims

I have been studying and chronicling the contemporary history of Earth from the perspective of “sacrifice.” The advanced industrial society of the past few centuries has only been possible through the sacrifice of workers—forced to labor violently on plantations for rubber, cocoa, bananas, soybeans, and cotton and in mines extracting coal, fertilizer, and plutonium—as well as through the large-scale destruction of forests, soil, oceans, and water sources. Modern society, while proclaiming human dignity, has only developed by deeming slaves, non-male genders, and dominated peoples as “inferior” and excluding them from human rights. By revealing to society the history and mechanisms of this structure I call the “world sacrifice system,” I hope to contribute, however slightly, to ending the ever-worsening simultaneous destruction of humans and nature as soon as possible.
