Well I am excited to hear your opinion it is biased towards the right which is good because the left controls so much media.

that looks like either mayans or aztecs to me. it wouldn't surprise me if the inca employed human sacrifices too though. but my impression of them has always been that they were the cool ones of the bunch. they lived high up in the andes so they didn't really have a need to wage war because they had nobody to wage wars on. i could be wrong.

Nope. It's an astonishingly stupid idea that fortunately is very unlikely to come to pass.

There is evidence that the Inca practiced human sacrifice, albeit not nearly on the scale of the Mayans or Aztecs.  And yes, they waged war.  They were an empire, after all.

if i recall, the inca were mostly dead from disease when pizarro got there too. maybe that's why i was under the impression that they were peaceful because there was nobody there to really put up a fight.

The US park service is one of the few that is actually working the way it's supposed to. Why do you want to mess with that?

Pizarro got extremely lucky when he conquered the Incans.  Atahualpa had 80,000 soldiers compared to his 200.  Fortunately for Pizarro, Atahualpa got cocky about this, and decided not to put up much of a fight until it was too late, when they had a chance to surround Atahualpa and capture him.

the surrounding tribes all wanted to decimate the aztecs too. cortez used it to his advantage. he also just kinda strolled into their city and was treated like a god at the very start.

Of course it is. Taking from one (or many) to settle what you perceive as the injustice of another, is exactly that.

It's unlikely to happen and it shouldn't.



It's a well accepted idea

No different than the Isreali's paying reparations, collectively.

It's not collective punishment, it's righting a wrong you as a group of people committed. This kind of thing is done all over the developed world. We still do it today in America with some native groups.

I honestly don't see the fairness in that.

Why should I pay you because of what my great-great-grandfather did to yours? (theoretically speaking)

Yes, but I didn't maim anybody. What's the point in trying to be a good person if you're gonna get punished for other people's crimes anyways?

In pre-columbian times, were native americans war-like or peaceful?

My guess is that there was little reason for war.

Obviously, war happened. Humans are humans, and they will act accordingly. But were the Natives actively violent and war mongering?




in north and central america the indigenous people were brutal in war and
even in times of peace, they were also peaceful. in reality they were like
anyone else, they waged war and then made peace, sometimes treaties were
broken and war continued. when one nation overtrew another it was common
for them to take slaves and often times those slaves would end up as
decoys on a battle field, this was even done by the peaceful nations such
as the cherokee

in central america I think it's pretty well known that human sacrifice was
also common, that tends to be fairly brutal as well but something that's
not as well known is that some nations of indian along the gulf coast in
what's now texas an into missisissipi were also cannibals. and they even
hunted the mastodon and a number of other species to extinction


yeah, imagine that, the stuff the history books dont tell you

so to answer the question, they were like every other human
