Honestly, if you can find a local who is willing to give you what you want, and wants what you can give, tapering down your xenophobia to accept them is just ... how the Spanish eventually took control of the parts of the New World he did.
They did. The conquistadors were kidnapping Nahua women and that caused tension between the Aztecs and Spanish. It was one of the leading factors to what became the Night of Sorrows.
This is not exactly true. The Aztecs(who were part of a triple alliance at the time) were unpopular because they demanded tribute. Those that refused to give tribute were brutally conquered. Those that rebelled even more brutally conquered, and their leader would be replaced with an Aztec governor to ensure no further rebellions.
The reason other city-states in the area(not 'tribes') sided with the Spanish was little more than political maneuvering to try and take control themselves. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
However, the Aztecs’ ‘tribute’ included gathering people for sacrificial means. Lots of them.
An insane amount of them that defies reasonable belief. I’d argue they’re one of the first peoples who managed to streamline Human slaughter— and they didn’t even have industry!
These people would be drugged with Datura— nightmare substance, by the way— and then butchered. Children were especially prized.
This cruelty was …
Not popular with their subjects, nor the other tribes, because nobody did it quite like them. Not at their level. Not with their…
no I mean the Aztecs were genuinely just evilmaxxing, like typa shit where they had a holiday of some kind called war day where they'd declare war on some neighbour and just rape and kill everyone for religious purposes
like the Spanish were bad don't get me wrong but like I don't fault the natives for choosing "we might maybe spare you a little if you convert to Christianity" over "kill everyone and leave"
I get it. They were awful, but it’s difficult to describe just how bad the Aztecs were. I personally consider them to be in a category all their own.
Over two days the Aztecs killed more people— many of them children, almost all of them civilians— than the Inquisition killed over its entire lifespan of multiple centuries, even counting secular courts.
I believe he's referencing accounts that purposefully exaggerated numbers to demonize the Aztecs. There are certain sources that claim the Aztecs sacrificed tens of thousands of people per day or that skull racks that they put the skulls of people they had sacrificed on held hundreds of thousands of skulls. These accounts are typically based on directly on Spanish sources at the time that were demonizing Aztecs and their religion, or papers written much later.
Putting a hard number on the number of sacrifices is basically impossible but it is far more likely that the number of sacrifices was in the low thousands
Still not incorrect to say "well actually..." when someone says the Spanish were worse though. The Aztecs got up to a loooot of shit. It is not in historical dispute how much they loved child sacrifice and raiding/killing/enslaving their neighbors :D
It wasnt one person a day but they did indeed sacrifice people at regular festivals in part because they believed their Sun god, Huitzilopochtli needed human hearts and blood to keep the sun moving and prevent the world from being destroyed.
Ok but we do agree the genocide of women and children and non - responsible is horrible, I hate what Aztecs and Spain did but feel sad for the innocent natives
Yeah its almost like they are, dont talk about all the executions, massacres, and genocides post-conquest. Tenochtitlan was one of the most populated cities in the world and it was entirely destroyed.
The Inquisition didn't actually kill that many people by the standards of such organizations, a better point of comparison would be... well, the Spanish colonization of the New World, where you see stuff like 50+% death tolls due to epidemics compounded by brutal working conditions and malnutrition
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztec_warfare on the first section they talk about "coronation campaigns", where a newly elect king or whatever would go on a random war against some underlings to show they wouldn't be fucking around either.
it's not racism. literally everyone present, be they Spanish or native, attested to the comical level of evil the Aztecs were on
Did their culture revolve "entirely" around "the mass slaughter of innocents" because I'm still not seeing any sources.
When did they kill more people than the conquistadors in two days? Because I'm still not seeing any sources ln that either. All of you are just going along with this because you believe it to be true, not because you have any facts, which is racist.

It’s morally correct to genocide the majority of the native population of Pandora as long as you’re getting help from the smaller group that’s extremely radicalized? Or it’s morally correct to increase shareholder value and the lifespan of billionaires by slaughtering sentient, sapient creatures for a small portion of their bodies?

This is the equivalent of believing Disney’s Pocahontas
Yes and no.
When the Spanish arrived in America, they allied themselves with the enslaved and oppressed peoples to fight against the more advanced civilizations.
Obviously, the Spanish later betrayed and raped them, etc.
I would assume the Spanish sailors started raping the local people looooooong before any betrayal started.
They did. The conquistadors were kidnapping Nahua women and that caused tension between the Aztecs and Spanish. It was one of the leading factors to what became the Night of Sorrows.
The Aztecs, for example, were so evil and utterly demonic that the local tribes basically didn’t even need convincing to join the Spanish.
This is not exactly true. The Aztecs(who were part of a triple alliance at the time) were unpopular because they demanded tribute. Those that refused to give tribute were brutally conquered. Those that rebelled even more brutally conquered, and their leader would be replaced with an Aztec governor to ensure no further rebellions.

Also the recorded numbers of executions from the spanish inquisition were not as high as you would expect given their infamy
well fuck. 16th century colonizer propaganda strikes again
Still not incorrect to say "well actually..." when someone says the Spanish were worse though. The Aztecs got up to a loooot of shit. It is not in historical dispute how much they loved child sacrifice and raiding/killing/enslaving their neighbors :D
IIRC didn’t they sacrifice one person a day because they thought it was the only thing keeping the sun going?

Fair enough, I know very little about the Aztecs and more about the spanish
The Spanish were monstrous, you’re absolutely right. But I encourage looking into the Aztecs…
If you’re not having too good of a day. When I read about some of it, I just kind of sat there for a minute.
You don't get it. Atrocities are always worse when committed by Europeans

it is more in line with the second one, but i would consider the first one the worst
