Standing Up to the Post-Colonial Narrative

A breath of fresh air! Finally, someone to publicly claim that Montezuma, far from the mewling peacenik unicorn created by the fevered imaginations of post-colonial revisionists, was a bloodthirsty monster who ruled Central Mexico with an iron fist.

There was a reason Cortez managed to get so many natives to join him, and why, despite both meager numbers and reputed brutality, the Spaniards managed to stay in Mexico for almost 300 years. The Spaniards did not just bring small pox and brutality. They brought a lot of things that improved the lot in life of many tribesmen, not least of which is the liberation from the rule of an empire of blood.
