We call that the 2nd amendment now >Widow burning
It's funny right wing chuds would criticize that, they would love that considering how much they want to control women
And from another angle, they probably regret their ancestors banning both these things, because it could've reduced the number of browns today
Literally nobody cared about human sacrifices. It was ingrained in mesoamerican society (the material reasons for its normalization lied on the lack of cattle and the need of protein to sustain large armies)
The tlaxcalans & all the allies of europeans, did it.
On the other hand, The aridoamerican hunter gatherers which didnt engage in human sacrifice, were also decimated & enslaved by the colonial authorities, this alone dispell the myth that the conquest was done on some fairytale moralistic reasons; it was purely materialistic

Because they condemned their future in the long term. In the case of the Spanish they ended up losing against the natives and mutts, the conquered people adopted the belief and economic system of the conqueror, and thousands of years later they end up getting replaced. It's like training your future replacement at work.

In the case of the British, see for yourself >I'm training my own future competitors. >I'm imposing unto them an economic system that makes them poor and makes me rich >I'm sure they would never leave their shithole and search for better opportunities here >Surely nothing bad could happen to me in the future
Lmao congratulations.

Aztecs should've sent warriors north to hunt a few of the 60+ million bison in what used to be the American Serengeti, turn it into pemican, and maybe take back a few live ones for fresh meat.
It's pure racism. The world back then was nothing but a free for all, you're either strong enough to fuck others and survive or you'll be smashed
Spaniards and portuguese got their shut pushed in for centuries before colonizing. Not a single Amerindian tribe was good
