@rabb1tjones921 When the Spanish encountered the Aztecs, it was shortly after a truly epic scale mass human sacrifice and when the first Europeans came to Hawaii, it was after a civil war so brutal that it was called the Battle of the Damned Waters because there were so many corpses it literally blocked the river. Part of the whole "civilizing" narrative is due to emphasizing these kinds of acts. While it is not true that Europeans were any less brutal generally, that does not mean that the non-European populations were any better.
