No, I didn't dismiss it. The meme is about the battle for tenochtitlan, not about everything the Spanish did in Latin America.

You said “heroic”. This narrative that somehow spaniards were heroes because they’re way of killing didn’t involve ripping hearts out is trite and historically false. Laughable that they look down on “savages” yet burned people alive for their beliefs.

Don’t get me wrong I love spanish history though. I’ve to spain three times and my last name is Hernandez. Orellana for example was a true savage in the best way possible. A man who looked fate in the eye and said fuck you.

I said that for this specific battle mostly relatively to the other shit they did. I otherwise agree that they sucked.

The false thing is your narrative. You are repeating the story told by the enemies of Spain; mainly England and France. What the Spaniards did was historic: discovery of a new continent, they empirically demonstrated that the earth is spherical, they connected the old world with the new world. Hence...
