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.

(dunno if this is the right channel for this shit)

Cortés seized an opportunity that was already brewing. However I don't think the empire would have fallen completely if it had just been the Aztec people fighting against Cuauhtémoc.

My post was made based on a lib comment saying that "things can't get worse than a theocracy" and the comparison between the Aztec Empire and Iran I genuinely think that the most propagandised people can really see both as equally bloody, so yeah things can get much worse when people involved don't see foreigners as people.
