this is confusing to me. Why celebrate a cannabalistic death culture that decimated native slave populations to obtain human sacrifices, and yet keep all of the european spanish elements of culture that rejected the barbarism ? It’s like longing for the Dark Ages of anarchy and superstition.

Mexico treats Hernando Cortes as the great villain of their history and Cuauhtemoc, who succeeded Montezuma, and fought against the Spanish as the great hero. Mexican historians dare not acknowledge that the Aztecs were, in fact, cannibals on a huge, perhaps unprecedented scale.

The Spanish did the world a favor destroying them.
