When the Spanish got to the Aztec capital, they had an army of 40,000 natives, who hated their Aztec masters.
Its funny that the loss of religions, that cut out the living hearts of their enemies to sacrifice, should be weeped over by modern day leftists (atheists).
It only seems funny to people who have not purged their minds of logic. The countercultural left detests the West. The counterculturalists will embrace, elevate, and celebrate any non-Western culture without the least bit of critical thinking. The content of that non-Western culutre is irrelevant to their delight. The only requirement is that a culture be non-Western to receive the highest praise. This is an expression of a Romanticism biten by a rabid dog and now foaming at the mouth--a Romanticism devoid of any true romance.
