The Aztec protests led by Hernán Cortés are a clear demonstration of the struggle of the Aztec people against the militaristic and theocratic Aztec Empire.

The Aztec Empire committed a bunch of abuses including ritual sacrifice.

I hope things gets better for the Aztec people and I hope they can integrate more of the western culture in their lives. My heart is with them <3.

Obviously I don't think we should support Cortez, but two things can be true at once. The Aztecs are objectively a brutal empire that's worse than anything the Spanish have ever done.

This is literally how the more subtle colonialist whitewashing propaganda works in Spain, unironically

The good Christian Spanish would never slaughter their own people! Good heavens.
