Fuck the Aztecs, of course - but the Aztecs were not ALL OF THE SPANISH-CONQUERED AMERICAS

This is not about lowering the relevance of the brutalities committed by the colonizers, I was responding to a meme, I did not intend to enter into a deep debate on the subject, in which I am not an expert either.
In any case, one thing is clear to me, the subject of diseases was used by the British in North America, the Spaniards (more than two centuries before) not only did not know about the damage they caused with this, but they did not find out until long after they spread, because they did so faster than the conquerors themselves.**
