Let's all take a moment to remember the horrors that the evil Spanish colonizers inflicted on the noble savages of Mezoamerica, which included the introduction of horses, infrastructure, European medicine, and stopping them from carving out the still-beating hearts of their own children in sacrifice to their gods.
Bro, if I presented you with a time machine and told you you could go anywhere in the world at any period in history, but you don't get to decide, when you step out of the time machine, whether you're the king in his castle or the serf working the field or the mine: if you had that choice to make, you would be insane to choose anything other than the West in the late 20th century.
As imperfect and miserable as our society is, it's the best humanity has come up with so far.
Bullshit. Utter and complete "muh noble savage" bullshit.
The Spanish had NO INTEREST in conquering the Aztec or any civilization. It was much easier to use them to gain resources through trade. They felt a holy duty to do so when they saw the massive human torture and destruction and sacrifice. The more peaceful and non bloodthirsty tribes were the MASSOVE BULK of the army that conquered the Aztec and Inca empires.
And as for your claims of mathematics and astronomy - wrong. The Aztec never built their temples. They took them over and simply mimicked them. Metallurgy? What metallurgy? Bronze? We were in the fucking steel age by then. "Advanced" my ass. They were naked bloodthirsty savages poorly mimicking the civilizations that had come before them(who gained their knowledge from 'white gods from across the sea' btw).

Your cope is pathetic.
