We still have ritual human sacrifice in the USA today. We call it the "death penalty," and we ritually kill people who have violated our cultural mores. It's been used on people that, in other contexts, we would consider too young to be legally an adult, too. Where are the "liberate the US" calls?

We're crabs in a bucket. We see someone mention the possibility of holding everyone to account instead of only the worst offenders and we hear "not going hard enough after the worst offenders." We've been trained to not even consider that there are options besides a zero-sum game.
