Why don't we have more people supporting the Aztec protests? (lemmy.ml)

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)

Obviously I don't think we should support Cortez, but two things can be true at once. The Aztecs are objectively a brutal empire that's worse than anything the Spanish have ever done.
