Cortez did Mexico a favor.
Perhaps ordinary citizens were repelled and terrified by what was happening. Humans have a deep sense of right and wrong. It doesn’t translate necessarily into those that are in power but like pornography people know even when they see it. I wonder when Cortez came, whether the citizens had the fight in them to defend what was probably a tremendously twisted and evil culture.
That's the point I like to make to our young, rising generation of indoctrinated twits. The Spanish Conquest was a liberation for the Indians and, even though they ended up switching masters, an enormous net gain. The catastrophe for the Indians was the disease wave, which killed 90 percent of them. The anti-historical radicals conflate the two.
