Got one!!!
Once brainwashed/indoctrinated always brainwashed/indoctrinated. The noble savage lie. Walsh addressed that as many others have. Don’t virtue signal as if the natives weren’t raping, torturing, killing, cannibalizing, genociding, and conquering each other.
Howard Zinn isn’t exactly a beacon of truth in historical facts and his stuff is widely repeated by many.
Of course, you are one of the lowest IQ posters here and always have been. Congrats on taking the bait.
From Walsh. You may want to put on a helmet before you read this.
Columbus was close to Aztec territory as well. He never met them (that civilizational clash would be saved for later) but it is worth noting that the Aztec empire was not exactly a picture of peace and serenity. Tens of thousands of people were captured and killed as human sacrifices every year in macabre religious ceremonies. An offering was laid on a stone slab at the top of the temple, his beating heart was ripped out of his chest, his arms and legs were hacked off and consumed, and his limbless carcass was rolled down the steps. This process was repeated dozens or even hundreds of times in a single night, and thousands of times over the course of a year. For a long time, historians and archeologists assured us that the Spanish fabricated or exaggerated these stories of Aztec barbarism — they say the same about the stories of Carib barbarism — but then they discovered the
skull racks buried in Mexico City.
Columbus never governed with the savagery of an Aztec king or a Carib chieftain, but he did take slaves. That’s true.
