The victims of the Aztecs would beg to differ. Lots of people were fed to the sun god, to quench its thirst for blood, all to delay Armageddon. Like any other continent, Native America had genocidal maniacs and the Five Nations that resembled a federation. Good and Evil has no homeland, just the feelings that grow inside of people.

Never said they were perfect. And you’re right, they were wrong in their beliefs about a sun god thirsting for blood. But me personally, I would rather be a warrior in their Flower Wars with at least a CHANCE to make my way in the world instead of the capitalist hellscape of the modern era where every path just leads to more suffering
