The Primitive Savages of Latin America | Mind Blown

[@WalterRobles]

Mayans accepted homosexuality, were amazing astronomers with a calendar far more accurate than the one we use today and had an amazing free market and cultural exchange and then the Spanish destroyed most of it because god...

[@BurnRoddy]

Greeks also accepted homosexuality. Many ancient cultures did. However it was never in the sense that we see today were people are their own thing back then human behaviour was regulated, you had to BE a certain way to fit a mold you couldn't be an individual.

[@nutblast9132]

Mayans didn't accept homosexuality lmao

[@audielamayaestrada3083]

@@nutblast9132 nice name

[@Blackkorso]

Mayan civilization was already gone when the Spanish arrived but cool story bro...

[@WalterRobles]

@@Blackkorso are you one of those crazy people that think they just disappear? As a Guatemalan I can tell Mayan civilizations exists today, most of us(more than 90%) are ladino or indigenous (Maya), and have over 22 Mayan languages communities today, so go on thinking that mayans were abducted or something, I'm sure you are so crazy that are one of those who believe in imaginary friends who were born of birds, women born of ribs, zombie gods and all that shit.

[@vampirelover871]

He should have mentioned that marrying within the family to keep the royal bloodline was also common in other cultures such as Egyptian and even European cultures not just the Incas.

[@TheAs57]

Jimmy German many cultures do that to keep their wealth with in the family.

[@alen_egret5815]

So right. The royal families in Europe married their cousins ALL THE FUCKING TIME.

[@fluteman4666]

As a descendant of the Quechua people, that particular point in the video pissed me off. Why didn't he mention our other accomplishments?

[@ilya_rusin]

in the European culture only in aristocracy, not the common folk.

[@mrflufay5236]

Yup and really it only happened within a small population in Ameri-indian cultures such as the Elites. The rest just married out of family because they had no need for keeping the bloodline pure.

[@KajiXD]

It blows my mind how click bite-y is this video. It's entitled with the words latin america, yet you only throw shade to the Aztec and Inca civilizations, and then only speak about north american tribes and civilizations. how about the advanced Peruvian aqueducts systems? Machu Picchu? How about mayan calendary? the invention of the 0? shame on you FLAMA

[@Blackburn-Arts]

exactly or what about the tainos of Puerto Rico, Cuba and Dominican Republic qnd the syger trade.

[@ptt619]

KajiXD because lota of Americans only care about what's about the united states, and other places are just shit by default

[@KajiXD]

+Paco then don't use Latin America in the title. Use Northern America or "America" as they call themselves (even when we are more)

[@isasolorzano9706]

But the Aztecs WERE North American tribes. Mexico is part of North America. A lot of people tend to forget that. But what bothers me more is that EVERYONE (apart from the U.S) tends to forget that in general we are ALL Americans. Let it be North, Central or South. The continent is divided in 3 parts but the key word here is "America". I just can't understand why English speakers put the excuse that such thing doesn't exist in the English vocabulary. Like are you kidding me? It's not that hard to translate the obvious. But other than that, I agree with you in that they could've mentioned cooler things about the American tribes (all of them)

[@ricardocabralterrazas6784]

KajiXD totally agree!

[@Jennlikesfictionalworlds]

Just wanted to say that keeping the bloodline pure thing was also practiced in European monarchs as well

[@Galbanolli]

It blows my mind that you are speaking of the "indians" as a whole. They all had different cultures, politics, etc.

[@ilya_rusin]

also he talks the same about ''Europeans'' as the whole, they all had different cultures, politics too.

[@nubianeagle8634]

Something's cross tribal ven diagrams, It's just like how we Africans say we're different from each other, but at the end of the day many of our behaviours and beliefs are similar.

[@sapointi]

leonxl yeah true this video really sucks he should have researched actual Latin American history.. it was just stupid that he kept bringing up tribes from USA. if he was going to talk about the Spaniards being savages he should have quoted stuff from destruction of the Indies or something.. this video was horrible

[@romeocalmo]

Great vid except its more accurate to use the name Native Americans. Indian American is way to inaccurate and was a term inaccurately used by the Europeans when they thought they landed in India

[@Blade-hf9po]

I just call them indians... it's accurate where I live. we all call them like that.

[@mariedeflaviis]

Romeo Calmo in spanish we have another word for "Native American" or "Indians" is "indígena" is not the same of "indio"(that would be Indian) I think in english doesn't exist a specific word for calling the native Americans, am I wrong? someone could tell me.

[@Mzmissy215]

Roman Ramos...u do know that all negative and evil doesn't stem from just 1 group of people right?

[@rayromano1446]

Mzmissy215 yes. Only from those who have lost their touch with nature.

[@Mzmissy215]

Roman Ramos which is a lot of people of all diff backgrounds. Why would u automatically equate white with evil or negative traits as if evil doesn't or has never existed among other people?

[@rayromano1446]

Mzmissy215 I was talking about me first of all, and my ancestry. The more "civilized" one becomes; the more detached from nature-spirituality one becomes. I can write pages and pages about this but I'm not. It just so happens that my ancestry is part Spaniard. Were they anglo... maybe. I never used the word "evil" first of all. 😁 You did! Which says more about you than anything. Anyway; I said "negative" traits ie. Male pattern baldness, disease, etc etc. I know it's my "native" roots that give me what little spirituality I have left.

[@Mzmissy215]

Roman Ramos explain what u mean by "which says more about u than anything" in regards to when I said u essentially seem to consider white negative or evil in a sense. And why would having native roots automatically give u spirituality? It does not. What gives u spirituality is the way u as an individual live your life. Clearly you're feeding into Hollywood's portrayal of all natives being stoic and spiritual and in tuned w nature constantly communing with animal spirit guides and all the other stereotypical parts. Have u never bothered to study how tribes often went to war with and massacred each other? Clearly not.

[@lorenalareyna5819]

Okay but if anymore of y'all are gonna comment on him calling natives Indian, take it from an india, we've been called Indians just as long as we've been called Native Americans. The term 'American' was just as forced on us. It's also not in our cultures and we certainly aren't from the culture American came from. Literally it's fine to call us Indian/Amerindians

[@Saccimane]

wanna know what blows my mind? the fact that you called them "Indians" thousands of times & they're not even indian. They're Native Americans.

[@lorenalareyna5819]

Viewers please disregard most of what the video describes as facts. There are huge historical inaccuracies in this video. For one Europeans did sleep together because central heating had not been invented, and second most Aztec sacrifice were volunteers that had been defeated in war and killed humanly. In fact the aztec saw the spanish as blood thirsty because they did not take prisoners. This chanel is not know for insight into history but current culture.

[@echoeddra8on]

[@elpidiovillarreal6246]

Europeans got to Latin America? Latin America was named Latin America by Europeans.

[@fluteman4666]

This guy doesn't know what he is talking about. Why did he not mention the architectural wonders of the ancient Latin American cultures like: Macchu Picchu, Sacsayhuaman, Choquequirao (in Peru), Tiwanaku (in Bolivia), Tenochtitlan (Mexico), or Tikal (in Guatemala)? How about the fact that the Inca civilization never starved because of their impeccable farming techniques? Aztec plumbing anyone? How about the fact that the Mayans were great astronomers? Did I mention all three were great math geniuses? About half of Inca land was acquired by peaceful agreement because the Inca offered a better life for the other Andean and coastal tribes (given - some resisted - resulting in violent conquest, but still). The Inca Empire has been hailed as the Roman Empire of the Americas for their vast road system! The food and diet of all the indigenous people of the Americas was beyond healthier than the Western world. I am a proud descendant of the Quechua people (the main Inca tribe (which is why I said more about the Inca in this comment)), and I know where my roots are. Also shout out to the Aymara, Taino, Mapuche, Zapotec, and other indigenous tribes from Latin America that were not mentioned in this supposed "Latin America" centric video.

[@garrusn7702]

To be fair. The happiest societies have the highest suicide rates. People from war torn regions and starving impoverished areas almost never kill themselves. The Indians probably wouldn't either because they mostly live in small villages and they all had much more similar jobs and lives. It's a lot easier for a swede to get depressed because everyone else in his country seems to be doing so great.

[@lorenalareyna5819]

David A. Well most reservations are infested with violence, starvation, poverty, water poverty, and substance abuse and I'm not seeing the suicide number go down so?

[@lorenalareyna5819]

As a Spaniard I'm so sorry because of the colonisation 😭

[@sapointi]

Nuria ReBri modern Spaniards in Spain have nothing to do with the colonization. it's us, latinos, who descend from the conquistadors, the colonizers. I'm Ecuadorian and I know for a fact my 3 mestizo Ecuadorian grandparents all descend from conquistadors who came in the 1500s-1600s. they're mixed with indigenous too of course but those conquistadors are OUR ancestors not yours ..

[@F4BI4N]

Sapa Inti dont be rude. dude just feels the need to say sorry. Even though he shouldn't because he did nothing wrongp

[@Galbanolli]

Sapa Inti i think he/she said that because the conquistadores came and stole gold and resources and made Spain/crown and its people rich with the suffering of the Natives. The conquistadores weren't working for themselves, plus many went back to Spain While other spaniards, most likely poor and criminals came here for a new beginning.

[@Galbanolli]

Also we are now at fault for what our ancestors may or may have not done. So there is no need to be sorry. Just knowing it was wrong and preventing this from reoccurring should suffice.

[@sapointi]

Carmen Zaparolli yeah but Spain's like the poorest country in Europe now so it's all good lmao

[@JMBen]

I am a history major, I've spent so may years being told this same narrative that you get in this video. Let me just say that all women were not free, and that all native Americans were happier, or they lived better lives. These people were divided into bands of a few dozen to a few hundred people. It's true that they lived together, slept together, and hunted together, it's also true that they killed each other. Native american history is filled with Waring tribes and slaughter of entire peoples. They were not these peaceful people that your being led to believe. The same went with women, the first explorer of Texas, Cabeza de Vaca was enslaved by a tribe that murdered any female baby born to it, and only continued because it's men would enslave and rape women from other tribes. Also, native american hunter gathering societies cannot support the large population of an agrarian civilization, agrarian civilizations are much more effective at maximizing resource to support large population, this is why the estimated population of the Aztec and their vassal people they kept as slaves and sacrifices, were an estimated 30 million in that small area, compared to only a few hundred thousand in the continental United States when Europeans arrived. The same story in for the Inca people. This vast difference in population is why the population of Mezoamerica has a more concentrated Indigenous American racial ancestry then the populations of Anglo American and the Southern Cone of South America. Finally the native people did not die of European slaughter, the gun could only fire one bullet every ten minutes at that time, it was diseases that not even the Europeans knew they were spreading, they thought it was god doing it. There were wars though between the Natives and immigrants, just like how the natives went to war with themselves for millennia. You may think that its cute to talk about how much better it would be if you didn't have European civilization, but was fighting for your life and not know when you could eat again as some illiterate hunter gatherer. But your wearing synthetic cloths, siting in a synthetic char, watching this on you computer with the internet, I see you actually need this savage European would.
