Also, don't forget, not only do you have to filter the historical account because the Spanish actively made shit up or exaggerated things, you also have to remember that they were the worst type of christcucks, Catholics.

South and central American civilizations absolutely practiced human sacrifice. Memes about moral corruption and them being somehow inferior to the glory of S*ain and the Catholic Church? Lolno

Continuing on, I would advise you to consider the most popular meme of all, the one about how Cortez and his mere hundreds of men managed to bring down the Aztec Empire which was vastly larger and more powerful. The way the (Spanish) historical records portray it, Cortez single handedly went up against the Aztecs and their allies and managed to triumph.

From the start this narrative is bullshit. The Aztecs were NOT an empire, they were literally a single city state with tributary vassals they would periodically bully. The Tlaxcallans and various other vassals did not break and rebel because they were awed by the might of 300 shit stained Spaniards, they broke and rebelled because they had been looking for an excuse to rebel for a long time now. Cortez was literally just a pawn being used by political players on a much larger game, as a roaming band of troublemakers to stir shit up and cause unrest while the existing polities turned against the Aztecs and formalized their dissention. By this point, disease had also taken it's toll, by the time Cortez actually was meeting with the Emperor somewhere between 50 and 70 percent or the city were fucking dead and rotting in the streets. There were also the famous prophesies that gave the Spanish an initial way in, fun fact, most of the Aztecs (and almost certainly the Tlaxcallans) didn't believe a fucking word about these dirty hobos being the return of their god, but the Aztecs humored them at the start in that way, likely to assess their potential as a tool in pacifying unrest among their population.

It was the perfect storm of events, take a single one away and the house of cards crumbles and Cortez gets fucked utterly and laughed out of the continent by the natives.

Where did I say Spaniards destroyed a civilization brainlet?

I said they essentially were opportunistic vultures that came in at the right time during the right sequence of events.

So they did destroy their empire.
