very cool thread about how aztec human sacrifice wasnt evil or monstrous
@Daylight and part of why they lost is these poor dumb schleps tried taking prisoners for sacrifice when fighting the Spaniards. An elaborate urban empire with their own weird brutal version of chivalry somehow expecting these barbarians to play by their rules.
I mean, you can't claim the Aztecs were an enlightened civilization (that'd be the Mayans) but it's hard to dismiss them as purely evil.
