This kind of reminds me of the democraps. Democrap politicians all have good prescription plans in their health benefits. however, the majority of them want to keep prescription plans away from the masses so they vote against it and will throw them a few scraps.

This is how the Fijian chiefs used to treat the masses.

The only trace of cannibalism today is in the language. For example, Fijians still use the common insult "bokola" which means "body for eating". Otherwise, it is never talked about.

But written records by early explorers remain, describing how the chiefs made the procedure as gruesome as possible to terrify their enemies.

"In times of bitter warfare, lower people might get little offcuts - hands and feet to chew on, but it was really the prerogative of the chiefs," Mr Geraghty says.

"They'd bring somebody back alive, if it was an opposing chief and there are accounts of items being removed from their person , like tongues, and being eaten while they watch."
