Yet another classic novel describing a Satanic, child-murdering cult?

When I first read HG Wells "Time Machine," I thought it was a veiled commentary on class warfare.

But with what I know now, it seems more likely he was describing a Pizza-gate world in which a group of small, frivolous, mentally inferior humanoids called Eloi serve as food for violent, subterranean Morlocks.

The description of the Eloi fits the small size, inexperience, and dependence of children pretty well. And how about an unempathic, predatory mob of cannibalistic Morlocks sneaking around at night to abduct and eat the Eloi?

BTW, the predators just happen to be named for an ancient deity to whom infants were sacrificed.
