I did learn about that. The Spanish word “malinchista” has its roots in that. A native woman who sided with the Spanish. Or their version of Benedict Arnold I think
Just more sour grapes from the losers of history, turned into a wine everyone has been told is the finest of all time since the wrong side consistently won Mexican civil wars - the Reform War, Mexican Revolution, Cristero War, etc. - often with assistance from American liberals. Did you know that the Americans were backing Satanic Mexican Freemason leftists and indigenous malcontents against the Catholic criollo factions as early as before the civil war? Because they did just that.
No doubt about the sour grapes. Some just can’t accept there are losers and winners. I’ve been meaning to research the Cristero wars more ever since I heard a ranchera song about it
There was a movie on the Cristiada directed by a veteran of the production staff for the latter two LOTR movies, which of course was immediately bashed by those 'professional' critics who even bothered to watch it in the first place. Worth a watch, IMO. Of the Mexican internal conflicts where the bad guys won, that was definitely the most recent and will remain so, at least until the cartels finish toppling whatever facade of a government still exists entirely.

Also the natives who teamed up with the Spanish to bring down the Aztecs (such as the Tlaxcalans) weren't screwed over, they actually made out very well for themselves and gained tons of privileges under the new order, even the right to self-government within their own autonomous vassal principalities under the Spanish crown. The Tlaxcalans never regretted their alliance and contributed auxiliary troops to support the Spanish in conquests elsewhere, ex. Guatemala.
