1. They left out the core of the Aztec religion: seizing other Indians and cutting out their beating hearts, followed by barbecue of the rest.

   1. Don’t you just love the sanitized world of AI? Gone are the mass murdering of children to the volcano gods … the mountains of skulls … of children … eliminated.

      And your AI sex partner NEVER has PMS.

      What a wonderful world, eh?

   2. But that was to save us from climate change. Cortez is vilified because he put a stop to the practise.

   3. This times eleventy.

2. Ignore that the representation includes all the amenities of modern western civilization
   Like trains, planes, automobiles, and all the other attributes of a western capitalist democracy.
   The Aztecs ran things as a theocratic state, much like Iran, or the Gaza Strip.

   1. And Spanish

3. L – Apocalypto – Mel Gibson’s movie was the best tribute to Paganism. The recent iteration attempting to drag the world back into the Dark Ages is that Rapey-Beheader Enslaver one. The abyss is always lurking on the fringe. But it took the psychopathic globalists to invite the fringe into the centre. The 7th of October 2023 is it’s savage archetype.

   Though the primitive tribal warfare of the Narco State actors. It litters the streets with their victims(euphemistically labelled complex needs). Institutionalization is in order to prevent drowning themselves in the river of Denial.

4. The clever video offers no hint as to how a society founded on human sacrifice transitioned to one that embraced the unfettered division of labor. I guess that just happens “somehow”. The more likely outcome would resemble the Hillbrow neighborhood of downtown Johannesburg today. Back in 1987, I used to go there even at night as that was where the popular nightclubs were. Today, anyone who goes there at any time of the day, be they black or white, is risking death.

5. If you want to read about a society’s downfall, I’d recommend Angus Shaw’s book Kandaya which explores, in part, the career path of a young black man who leaves the employ of a radical black lawyer in Rhodesia to join Mugabe’s “boys in the bush”. He quickly establishes a reputation as a vicious psychopath whose antics are so loathsome that General Walls himself puts a bounty on his head for the first man to kill him.

6. Their ‘vision’ assumes that a nation of bloodthirsty war-bent savages still wanted the same things that modern western nations want (and have), without the influence of the Spaniards. That is one hell of a leap of logic.. The picture looks more Disney interpretation than reality..

7. is this another james cameron production? jist askin’ . . . . .

8. Fun fact:

   The Aztecs didn’t have prisons. Therefore, if you were accused, you were killed in many, many creative ways. I’d have to give points for creativity…and thriftyness. For example, if you drew the “Flayed while alive” lot, you not only were killed, but the priests who ordered your death got a new skin to wear for the next 20 days or so. Sort of a hand me down. Waste not want not.

   1. Oh. I thought you were describing the indigenous savages of Canada. My mistake.
      The white man has had so many burdens, I can’t keep track of them all.

9. imagine, for a moment, a society, a whole civilization, engulfed is savagery. every friggin day almost, new deaths to arrange. kids dismembered and tossed in the lava. beating hearts consumed.
   no place, no quarter, for sympathy and compassion. all of it under the knife. generation after generation.
   one of those situations requiring a revolutionary change via vey forceful means.
   the romans had their time of the colosseum slaughter didnt they? we’re led to believe.
   kinda like japong august 1945. time and again periodically throughout history. irrespective of race, language.
   ruled by savagery.
   whitey ISNT the sole ‘bad guy’ here.

10. Oh and their proud depictions of peaceful Aztecs playing futball and basketball. Yeah, sorry but those were white men’s inventions too. Yes, the British established the modern game of futball and the French (and a few other white Euro nations) invented FIFA and The World Cup. And basketball? Some white Canadian invented that in Mass.

    So … everything depicted is essentially white mans inventions. Why are they co-opting white man stuff? Oh … wait … they showed native vegetables being delivered by dugout canoe. Unh huh … that supply chain will feed their city of 5 million people. This is the kind of illogical and ignorant wishful thinking of Marxist “dreamers”.

11. I thought there was a drama where the Canadians had failed to seize the West and it developed out of the Riel vision on its own terms. It was called “Corner Gas”. Mind you, there’s much I might have misunderstood here.
