Re Apocalypto:

I interpreted it to mean more and more civilized people were arriving. The nail in the coffin of human sacrifice.

That has a familiar ring to it.

You mean the White Christians [liberals] arriving to save the savage darkies from themselves through colonialism?

I sincerely doubt that’s the message of Mel Gibson’s movie.

I think it is more like the Christians helping the other native tribes end the genocide the Aztecs were engaging in.

It was the other natives that supplied most of the troops.

No, the arrival of many more people who didn’t engage in human sacrifice to gods.

White Christians? Spaniards?
Darkies! The Aztecs?

Are you arguing that the poor Aztecs should be allowed to sacrifice the innocent in peace?
