      Ahhh hell you’re right I’ll go make a correction. I like Aztec history way more than U.S.A. history so I’m not surprised I’ve been mistaken about this for decades.

          Aztec human sacrifice and the brutal capital punishment implemented by European countries were both for the same thing: To maintain social order.

          Except the Aztecs sacrificed a lot fewer people to their gods than the Europeans sacrificed to their god of “justice.”
