      There really wasn’t a “good guy” during the conquest. Just a lot of victims.

      One can point out how horrible the Aztec Empire’s system was AND pount out the Conquitadors’ cruelty and own horrible crimes.

      Sure, hispanists and indigenists will take issue, but well… those guys are really, really dumb

      Well considering the fact that coalition that defeated the Aztecs was made up of an Indigenous majority of like 100-200k, and only 2-3k spaniards I think its fair to say the Aztecs werent particularly liked
