That is a seriously catchy tune. In all honesty, after watching that, how many of you already know you’re not going to be able to get the “We won!” song out of your head for at least 48 hours? Me too. Of course, any song singing the triumphant praise of Western Civilization would be fun to sing. Since, Western Culture triumphs over so very little nowadays.
But I digress.
First of all, kudos to The Detour for at least making the scimitar they just took to the knees of Western Civilization, funny. Which is more than can be said for the likes of shows like The Real O’Neals. Or, I Am Cait. Which just make everything awful.
Still, despite the points for humor and creativity, it’s time to get over the Conquistadors. The Aztecs, one of the main groups that the Conquistadors conquered, practiced ritual human sacrifice on a scale that can scarcely be believed. Specifically, designed to inflict as much pain and suffering on the victims as possible.
The Spanish also had allies in their war against the Aztecs. In particular, they had allies among other native tribes who knew all too well how awful the Aztecs were, and gladly rose up when someone powerful enough emerged to take them on.
In other words, they weren’t a culture worth saving or preserving, and the world is a better place without them. Kind of like hipsters. Except much more stabby and rapey.
Get over it.
