“Nowadays we hear how evil the Spanish colonization was.”

Exactly.

We can’t judge other cultures, even if they were cannibals, child sacrificers, or whatever.

Just another “choice”.

I mean, if you think about it, the people that came to this country on the Mayflower, think about their history- a history to be proud of. And even they had problems. Imagine if your ancestors were killing babies to bring rain and eating hearts.

We are so doomed.

We can, however, judge the early modern Spanish, English, etc. to be irredeemably wicked.
