>the worst crime the /med/ man ever committed
/med/ders were about 1-2% of the army lmao
the main reason the Aztec Empire collapsed was their own cruelty and bloodthirst, it was they themselves who sowed the seeds of their own destruction

go read up on the flower wars, the Mexica kept other polities in a semi-permanent state of war and farmed them for captives and loot, keeping them in line through terror
