Same goes for watching a gladiator fight to the death in Rome if it survived to this day

Well yes but in this case they are barbaric 😭 i don’t think those practices would still be around even if the aztecs never were wiped out. Its like witch burnings in the colonial united states

The current globalization paradigm is based on western enlightenment ideals which makes us biased, it’s not hard to imagine a world where different parts of the world have their own interpretations on human rights based on indigenous practices
