I so enjoyed this and was so moved by the story of the student martyrs. Have you ever listened to Neil Young's "Ohio"? I just listened to it and thought of those kids....🎸

This Aztec history is interesting but it's also pretty upsetting to think about how bloody these people were. It makes me sympathize with the Spanish and Europeans even more than before. Thank God they came here and ended this madness.

Not all tribes practiced the same things.

They literally burned all literature in this region and exported all of our gold to the point that Mexico took years to be a stable economy. They put us in a caste system where we were on the bottom and used religion to justify it. The Spanish became immensely rich of our destruction and you’re here saying that we’re bloody.
