Those Native Americans were no more brutal than a lot of the rulers of Europe at the time-various methods of torturing political prisoners and criminals alike to death, burning supposed witches, having rebels hanged, drawn and quartered-doesn’t sound civilized to me-the world was a more savage place then-my ancestors left Spain for what is now Mexico starting in the 16th century, so they obviously thought it was safer to take their chances living in a wilderness around people who dispatched enemies by ripping out their hearts and practiced other forms of blood sacrifice than living in Spain where they could be imprisoned and slowly tortured to death because some noble wanted to shut them up just for the hell of it. My DNA says some of my ancestors bred with those savages, too-so...
Now I will go sharpen my obsidian knife and pick out a Karen from the nearest town-dia de los muertos is only a few days away...
Maybe, but just for the record, when Europeans arrived to colonize North America... they were horrified at the way native Americans treated prisoners they captured in their tribal conflicts.
The noble savage was not totally ‘noble’.
