      This, but a lot of Mexicans see Aztecs as their tribal identity. Some larp as Spaniards. It's actually a common insult in Mexico to call someone a "Mayate" which means Mayan.

      Way back when, both the Aztecs and Mayans were hated because they kidnapped other tribes, children and all, and ate them, or condemned their own subjects to be eaten for losing sports games and such. These were cannibal warlord tribes that kept their power by feeding the masses meat. That meat came from human flesh. They didn't just let the meat from the hundreds of people they "sacrificed" a day go to waste. This is how a large population society with zero domesticated animals survived, they used humans as the domesticated animals. Look up "cannibalism in pre-Columbian America" if you don't believe me, because obviously they don't teach this since its not PC. Well documented by the Spanish and Portuguese.

        no, just no chickens, cows, etc. They did not have what we today think of as farm animals anon, but they had waterfowl like ducks, game birds like turkey, and deer. And fish was very important as well, given that they built their capital in the middle of a fricking lake.

        Oh yeah and they also raised dogs for food like they do in asia.

          Anon we have their fricking bones, we know what they ate and how much. Those turkeys and the fish for that matter were a luxury item, they ate fricking brine fly eggs to supplement their diet. They were short on protein, whether it was a significant impetus for the raiding, or it started as such and became divorced from it and transitioned to an entirely political institution is unclear. They were eating too much corn I'll tell you that.

          If you ask "why, why are they smart enough to build a ziggarut but not smart enough to do proper animal husbandry", well they are brown.

            Zigurats are also just... EXTREMELY easy to build. There's a reason why every primitive empire that got large enough built similar things and its not any alien nonesense. It's because it's as simple as making a really, really big pile of rocks. So long as you have enough people to do it you don't need any braincells.

            Oh and before someone asks "buh why did yurocucks not build any then?" Because piramids were built by very large empires without much engineering knowledge. By the time Rome had enough manpower, they had moved on to build way more useful things.

            But this isn't actually why human sacrifices hapoened. And the human protein myth is pretty simple to dispell. Hey here's a question: Why did Pastoralism work? Well, that is because animals eat pastures, which humans can't digest, and humans eat the animal, which they can digest. This is the basis of all animal husbandry. You eat shit that eats shit you can't eat. And that's why Cannibalism doesn't fricking work. Because anything you feed your food is shit you could be eating, and indeed the canibalized human will waste a lot of the energy, so canibalism actually DECREASES nutritional value, on top of all the diseasds it spreads.

            Not saying there are 0 cases of canibalism for food. We have historically seen some, but they were punctual due to crisis, not something that could hold up enough to keep a whole damn empire together.

            No the Aztecs cannibalized people mostly because they had TOO MUCH food. Aztec fanboys will brag about how dense their cities were, that was precisely the issue, they were religious fanatics trying to keep a severely overpopulated empire together, so they justified the violence needed to do so through human sacrifice. Canibalism was just the excuse, the objective was population control.

            This is also why they never figured out animal husbandry, they already had excess food with agriculture alone, the last thing they wanted was even more people to keep track of.

              The reason cannibalism is stomped out is because every cannibalized person is a potential farmhand who could be feeding you via surplus. Only in places where farmland was limited or extremely inconsistent (Central Africa, Central/South American rainforests) did cannibalism manage to stick around. Aztec civilization is an extension of Mayan civilization, so you can imagine what happened.

        Mayate comes from the Nahuatl
        Word mayatl which means beatle it doesn’t mean mayan. It used in moder Mexican slang for black people.

        They also had various types of animal protein sources from the domesticated muscovy duck, Turkey, dog to various wild game. Human flesh was really only consumed by a small few(prestigious warriors and the upper nobility)

        They domesticated turkeys from a central Mexican grouse. And by DNA analysis, it's shown that turkey was domesticated before the chicken was. Not only did everyone have turkeys, but you don't even need to farm them to have them. Their feathers were prized and are used in a lot of tribal Mexican fashion.

        Both continents were full of cannibals and only a few tribes in north America didn't partake in cannibalism.

          A lot of people don't realize that proto-indo-european groups also engaged in cannibalism thousands of years ago. It shouldn't be too surprising that groups that were migratory hunter-gatherers for thousands of more years didn't go through a lot of social changes more sedentary groups went through. That said, Cortez did nothing wrong. Spain made Mexico speedrun thousands of years of social development and brought the natives out of the stage where eating people is acceptable behavior.

        ? Have you actually read about the spanish inquisition apart of some tired anglo memes? It existed for about 300 years and actually condemned 3000 people (wich only ended sentenced 1500), an that was mostly done early (be people like Torquemada, the converso). For the rest it mainly stopped people from burning others, had fair trials than people blasphemed because they prefered to be trialed be the Inquisitors than be normal justice, and was used most an intelligence agency for hunting crypto-muslims/jews than usually helped the Barbary pirates (wich only where destroyed in the 19th century) and protestants than wanted to start shit.
        They had rules for torture, no more than 15 minutes and it couldn't maim or give sequels, and even then it was hardly used because the majority of inquisitors tought it useless for trials.
        Hell, the Spanish inquisition actually protected people than protestants would call witches after the Zuggarramundi trial, where Pierre de Lancre started all kind of witch trials from in southern France and started going to the Pyrenees, then they had to go two inquisitors,wich put to places all kinds of instances so that stuff didn't happen again.

        Cope, Spanish Inquisition would even provide you with a lawyer to defend your rights before tribunal and meticulously record the proceedings. Unironically much more humane than contemporary secular courts. They werent nice guys by any means, being basically a political police in disguise of churchmen, but rational and restrained, unlike jaguar Black folk. For example were you aware that Spain had almost no mass persecution of witches and devil worshippers, because Inquisition early on decided that majority of witchraft cases were in fact caused by hysterical delusions and not supernatural forces, so they flat out refused to accept most denunciations. This is hilarious to the point of one of the manuals for inquisitors elaborated that admitting to having given one's soul to the devil at night is not tantamount to heresy, for it can be inferred that the person acted under the sexual arousal caused by the succubus or incubus, therefore not being sane at the moment, so he or she deserves only simple ecclesiastical penance for lewd thoughts.

      On the contrary, I've seen blue-eyed Mayan Larpers claiming to be 100% native. The reality is that opinions are mixed about the racial make up of Mexico.

        That's because Mexican law will consider you Mayan even if you are not full blooded Mayan (or even Maya majority for that matter) as long as you can speak Mayan. There are literally some ethnic Germans in Chiapas and parts of the Yucatan peninsula who can legally be considered Mayan due to this. They migrated to Mexico in the 1800s to be polygamists and run coffee farms. Some of them semi integrated with the Mayas and learned the language. There are also some ethnic Koreans who can speak Maya in Yucatan too. They were imported as farm laborers back when Mexico was friendly with Imperial Japan. Some fought in the Mexican revolution too. Additonally a full blooded Mayan would not ve considered Maya by the government if they don't speak the language or practice the culture. Mexico is weird.

          Not really it’s pretty logical. In a country where everyone is mixed to a certain extent the biggest way to see if someone is considered indigenous is if they have continued their culture alive. The US is the weird one where people thing they’re Italian cause they’re great grandma is even though they don’t speak the language.

              Funny that you mention it. Because japanese ambassadors became stranded in Spain in the 1600s and pretty much became spaniards, with their descendants still being alive in a little town:

              That's literally how it ALWAYS worked until the 19th century constitutionalist reforms started fixating on nationality. And even then Race wouldn't matter until the frigging Jim Crow era.

              For example many, and I mean MANY Hispanic names relate to the ethnicity of their parents or even they, but they were still considered spaniard.

              And even on the first consitution, La Pepa, AFRICANS, as in african nationals, were considered a distinct subgroup, but Blacks, as in ethnically blacks not born in africa, were considered full spanish citizens no matter their race.

                The statutes were fairly localized (often applying only to individual orders) and had plenty of detractors.

                To put in context how much of an utter nothingburger these statutes were, both the Santa Hermandad (the police force that was formed by Isabella I by uniting the Santas Hermandades and would later be reformed into the Guardia Civil) and the Spanish Inquisition were founded by conversos. (And yes, btw, you read that right, Torquemada had israeli ancestry. He wasn't even ashamed of it, talked about it when justifying the founding of the Inquisition.)

                I mean when the 2 bodies in charge of applying the law not only weren't affected by the statutes but both were openly against it (for being against the more common dogma of baptism and millenialism, which was anti-racist) you know that was at best a historical curiosity.

                Also 2 of the names I mentioned, De Mora and the Golfines, were extremely powerful nobiliary families, so, again, that's how little the blood purity shit mattered in Spain. Only real application we see of them is in some extremist monacal orders, aside from that it was wet paper.

              They aren’t considered “Spaniard”. They’re considered mestizo. Ethnicity in Mexico is more based on culture than muh ancestry and no that doesn’t mean if I learn mayan tomorrow I would be considered maya. More to it than that. You have to belong to a community.

          Cannibalism was very rare and only in the context of religious ceremonies.

          Their human sacrifice was really over the top. Everyone who wanted to join the elite had to capture an enemy for sacrifice, and it was a city of a million people. Weirdly, they didn't sacrifice criminals, because they were unworthy. Thieves got 'Wood and Stone', i.e. their heads bashed in with rocks or clubs.

      Those idiots think the Spanish empire worked like the British one or the French, lasting until after WW2. In reality Spain lost almost all before the XXth century when the local colonial elites made up of mixed spaniards broke away, and almost nobody in Spain saw any benefit from the empire. That's why Spain began the last century so poor and underdeveloped: almost all the riches were wasted away in moronic european religious wars or kept by the local colonial elites. Nothing was really used to make the iberian spaniards better.
      If you're spanish, the chances of your ancestors being involved in the conquest of America are almost nil, because they all remained there.
      Only the Western Sahara people, Equatorial Guinea, and maybe Cuba have any right to complain today, and only because the spanish families and companies involved still exist in some way.

          These are the same dudes who made sure to constantly maintain literal skull-racks by replacing old skulls with new ones. The entire Aztec way of life revolved around reenacting the creation of the world, and since the gods had made the world by sacrificing themselves, the Aztecs sought to emulate them in all aspects of life. It didn't matter what you did or who you were. You spilled blood on the daily, even if it only meant to prick your finger on a cactus spine. Birth, Death and War. Those were the only constants, and everything bought and paid for by oceans of human blood.

          Oh yes its real, and it got so widespread they've found remainders of rain sacrifices done that way as far away as Peru. And as for the skin, let me tell you a bit of history. You know how the Aztecs had this massive migration period because everyone hated them. Have you ever wondered how it started?

          Before they started migrating the Mexica were a Vassal state of the larger amd more powerful Colhua tribe. And for whatever reason I can't concieve of, the Colhua chieftain decided to unite both tribes through political union. His daughter would marry the Aztec's leader. And the Aztecs accepted so the Colhua sent the girl to the Aztecs to be prepared for the marriage as was custom.

          Now, I need to drop a bit of info here for this to make sense. See, most tribes at that point were religous but still mostly feudal. So they had a basic understanding on how marriages worked. The Aztecs however were firmly a theocracy, they thought Huitzilopochtli, god of war, was their true leader, and the man in charge was merely an aspect of him. So when the Colhua told them to prepare a marriage... They greatly misunderstood who the woman was supposed to be married with.

          And that's why come the day of the ceremony where the Colhua expected a nice show, some fancy party and all around good times, what they found was the Aztec's high priest came literally wearing the girl's skin, including using her face as a mask, claiming to be channeling her spirit to tell them about how happy she was with Huitzilopochtli, the god, in the sky. Needless to say the Colhua dind't appreciate the gesture. Indeed in response they tried to genocyde the Aztecs, the only reason the tribe survived was because it ran for the hills and didn't stop.

          Now you might think they were deliberately insulting the Colhua, but they were clearly unprepared for the response, lost most of their leadership. So no, they weren't intentionally triggering their lord, they were THAT FRICKING INSANE.
