Is it true that Mexicans worship death, and that's why things like 'cartels' exist in the first place (rather than more mundane explanations like money/drugs)?>Awh Jeez; I 'live' in Mexico. Better fucking die soon!Is THAT the psychology at work here?
>>545248644Cartels exist because their competition is suppressed. The reason they kill people is that it benefits them.
No. 99% of mexicans are catholic. I live in Juarez and there are santa muerte churches and worshippers, buts its a minority like the jeovas witnesses or budhists.
>>545248644death worship is a christian tradition tho
>>545248999Jeohvah's*
>>545249041Christians don't worship death. They can accept death graciously through their belief in an afterlife but this isn't worship.
>>545248644that is a beautiful statue
>>545248644Its the cartels religionremember the breaking bad episodes with the twin cartel members perform that ritual where they crawl to the altar of la santa muerte with a photo of the DEA agent they planned to assassinatethats what they actually do.
>>545248999They're good christians in the same way pentecostal and evangelicals in the US are good christians. Which is to say not at all.
>>545249318isn't that just voodoo? Cuba has the same thing (Santeria)
>>545248644its a cute tradition I like it
>>545248644they were bred for human flesh, it's the only thing that kept them from collapsing like the rest of mesoamerican civilization
here's how dumb spics are>literally in a jungle>build a city in the middle of a lakeand they still had to eat people because they're retarded and their crops kept failing, the lake became too polluted, and a bunch of people fled the city for the jungles and became hostile like hillbillies
>>545248644No, its just memento mori mentality.
Mexicans (Aztecs) are third worlders, they'll worship a dog turd if you put some glitter on it.
>>545249165>blowing up the Middle East to Jumpstart the apocalypse and kill everyone isn't worshipping deathHave I a bridge to sell you Anon!
>>545248644cartels exist because brownxicans admire them and fantasize about being one of them. they're always talking about how their cartels could take on other country's militaries.
>>545248644Of all the things to nitpick about Mexico, THIS is what you choose? Not the crime, the drugs, the diet, the lack of intellectual development....this? Do you even know anything about European culture you stupid fuck?The cartels exist because they're paid to exist. Whatever else I might say about Mexicans, the fact that CIA feeds them arms and keeps the drug traffic flowing is not their fault.
>>545248644The "worshipping death" is related to the Spanish catholic culture of living along death to not fear and be prepared to her, specially common among knight and religious orders."Ubi est, mors, victoria tua?"
>>545250063there are many goddesses in Aztec religion, Santa Muerte seems to combine them all into Maria
>>545249165You literally prepare your whole life for the postmortem forever utopia. You believe that this world is fallen and sinful and it's impossible to lead a 100% moral life here
>>545248644Cartels exist because it’s more lucrative to be a cartel member than anything else. Most of the times in Mexico, people do shit about them and then thenpolice arrives to show up and claim thry did something, and then beat the people.It’s a criminal country.
>>545248644Look at what the word sicario is derived from (sicarii). They were Jewish zealots who murdered innocent Roman women and children and then fled into their rat tunnels. First recorded terrorists in written history.
>>545249165>Christians don't worship deathChristians absolutely worship death, it started as an apocalyptical world ending heresy inside judaism, the entire point of Christianity is to wait for Jesus to return to kill everyone so they can be reborn at heaven, the famous Middle Ages? is called Middle Ages because is the time between the Genesis and the Parousia, technically Christians are still in the Middle Ages since Jesus haven't returned.

>>545250163Thats an Aztec tradition, not Spanish.
>>545248644Someone i know traveled there on holiday and a girl in his friend group almost went home with a serial killer. He was caught because dead body matter was detected during a vagina checkup and they contacted the Mexican government. So id never travel there

The area around Mexico City is generally not considered a jungle. It is a high-altitude mountainous region characterized by pine and oak forests, grasslands, volcanic landscapes, and valleys.Mexico City sits approximately 7,350 feet (2,240 meters) above sea level in a mountain basin surrounded by volcanoes and forested mountains.The region has a temperate climate with a rainy summer season (June–September) and a relatively dry winter. During the rainy season, the surrounding countryside becomes particularly green and lush.Tropical jungles are found farther south in Mexico, particularly in Chiapas, Tabasco, and parts of the Yucatán Peninsula.In short: Central Mexico is better described as a high-altitude mountain and forest ecosystem rather than a tropical jungle.
>>545248644>mexicans die sometimes>do dah cartels death?I think the biggest problem with gen z is their inability to think and reason.
>>545250519Look at the meaning of the symbol, it has nothing to do with Aztecs as the entire "Aztec" worshiping is a 19th century thing born from the nationalism movements where states tried to give their countries a special validation by looking at their roots (the Gauls in France, the Iberians in Spain, the Alans in Germany, etc.), except in the case of Mexico it is plain stupid because the Masonic revolutions displaced the native population to promote a mixed race so they could be only loyal to the new republic instead of their tribes, since they didn't have a population of whites as large as Argentina, Uruguay, or Paraguay, which basically eliminated them during their revolution.
>>545248644Mexicans are baal. He’s been enslaving his own clones. He breeds the women himself, and intentionally breeds too many to donate money to Canada. Most Canadians are also baal. They’re all the same person. Baals lied about most topics involving sex and money. There’s no work place ladder. Education institutes don’t teach his clones, but they still go. Dating apps and bars are for show, he organizes the sex because they’re clones. There’s probably no crime. Probably not.
The Spanish were genuinely astonished by how clean, orderly, and well-maintained Tenochtitlan was when they arrived in 1519. In fact, cleanliness was one of the things that impressed them most about the Aztec capital.Some Spanish observers considered it cleaner than major European cities of the period.**1\. Exceptionally clean streets**- Streets and public spaces were regularly swept and watered.- Public workers were employed specifically to maintain cleanliness.- Spanish accounts described streets as remarkably clean and well-maintained.**2\. An impressive clean-water supply**Tenochtitlan had an aqueduct system that brought fresh drinking water from springs at Chapultepec.- Water was transported into the city through engineered aqueducts.- Canoes distributed drinking water throughout the city.- The water-supply system was remarkably sophisticated for its time.**3\. Personal hygiene and bathing**The Spanish also noticed that the Indigenous population placed considerable importance on personal cleanliness.- Frequent bathing was common.- Public and private steam baths (temazcales) were used.- Cleansing products were available.- Personal grooming and cleanliness were culturally important.**Was Tenochtitlan cleaner than European cities?**Quite possibly, by several important measures.In the early 1500s, many European cities struggled with garbage, animal waste, contaminated water, and inadequate sanitation.Tenochtitlan had organized street cleaning, an impressive drinking-water supply, and a sophisticated approach to urban cleanliness.**The fascinating historical irony:** The Spanish arrived expecting to encounter what they considered a less-developed civilization, only to find a metropolis with impressive public sanitation, urban planning, and cleanliness. Its cleanliness was one of the things that challenged their expectations.
The Spanish chroniclers who witnessed Tenochtitlan firsthand expressed considerable amazement at its cleanliness, organization, and sophistication.Here are some of the most notable Spanish observations, in paraphrased form:1. Hernán Cortés (1520)In his letters to King Charles V, Cortés described Tenochtitlan as an extraordinary city, comparing its enormous markets, public squares, buildings, and organization favorably with major cities in Spain.He was particularly impressed by its orderly markets, where goods were arranged in designated sections and commercial activity was carefully regulated.2. Bernal Díaz del CastilloIn The True History of the Conquest of New Spain, Díaz described the city's magnificent streets, canals, bridges, markets, and buildings.He expressed amazement at the scale and organization of the city, comparing what he saw to the great cities of Europe.3. Toribio de Benavente (Motolinía)The Franciscan missionary praised Indigenous cleanliness and bathing practices, describing how frequently people bathed and how much importance they placed on personal hygiene.4. The Spanish reaction to the city overallSpanish accounts repeatedly emphasized:The remarkably clean and orderly streets.The enormous, organized marketplaces.The sophisticated aqueducts and freshwater supply.The impressive causeways and canals.The cleanliness and personal hygiene of the inhabitants.
>>545251106>>545251224It's cute how you're glazing them meanwhile the spanish crossed the atlantic ocean from the continent that had all that shit more than a thousand years ago (and we still have standing aqueducts) before that and who was at the time entering the renaissance era
The Spanish drained much of the lake system surrounding Tenochtitlan (Lake Texcoco) for several reasons:1. Flood preventionTenochtitlan was built on an island in Lake Texcoco. The Aztecs had developed sophisticated dikes, canals, and flood-control systems. After the conquest, parts of this infrastructure were destroyed or neglected, contributing to severe flooding.2. European-style urban developmentThe Spanish wanted to transform the former Aztec capital into a European-style colonial city, with conventional streets, plazas, and buildings on dry land.3. Replacing Aztec infrastructureRather than preserve the entire Aztec water-management system, the Spanish increasingly pursued drainage and land reclamation.4. Colonial engineering projectsLarge-scale drainage projects began in the early 1600s and continued for centuries, eventually eliminating most of the lake system.What was lost?A vast lake ecosystem and its wildlife.Productive chinampa agricultural land.Natural water-management systems.Aquatic habitats and biodiversity.

Mexico City's famous Day of the Dead parade (Desfile de Día de Muertos) is surprisingly modern. It began in 2016, not in ancient Aztec times.However, the traditions behind the celebration go back hundreds, and in some respects thousands, of years.Historical originsPre-Hispanic civilizations: The Aztecs and other Indigenous peoples held ceremonies honoring the dead, connected to beliefs about the afterlife and the agricultural calendar.Spanish colonial period (1500s onward): Indigenous traditions blended with Catholic observances of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day (November 1–2).Modern Day of the Dead: Over centuries, these traditions developed into the familiar celebration featuring decorated altars, marigolds, offerings, skull imagery, food, and visits to cemeteries.Mexico City's famous Day of the Dead parade (Desfile de Día de Muertos) first took place in 2016. Surprisingly, the parade itself is a modern invention, inspired by the 2015 James Bond film Spectre, starring Daniel Craig.
How did it happen?2015: The James Bond film Spectre opened with a spectacular fictional Day of the Dead parade through Mexico City's historic center.2016: Inspired by the film, Mexico City organized its first actual Day of the Dead parade.Today: It has become a major annual celebration featuring enormous skeletons, elaborate floats, costumed dancers, marching bands, and Catrina makeup.
>>545251364Aztecs had all the science discovered, they were way ahead of America. Thats why they’re called tech. They had tech. But, apparently they just use it to farm anal slaves. Because a tight ass on your dick felt better than vaginal.
