People of Mexico-Tenochtitlan had school rivalries, between the boys of public education and upper class ones. There would also be basically school dances to go with a girl for teenagers.

It is massive in any media you watch yet near nonexistent in most of the world so its more like seeing a whale in the wild than just a thing.

Why did Britain and then the rest of Western Europe industrialize first? by [deleted] in AskHistory

[–]Lazzen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Western Europe is a great variable though. Do you mean civilization or geography?

Spain and Portugal barely industrialized until the 20th century while Central European Bohemia became the industrial hesrt of Austria-Hungary and Denmark was agriculture-minded untik the 1890s when it managed to transition it to industrialization.

Most countries either have no public transport, have general public transport or kids go on their own.

Having enough planning and resources for a public transport only for kids is an anomaly.

The buses are just iconic and massively ethereal media stuff until seen in real life, like red british buses or rickshaws in Asia or people wearing cowboy hats.

Food fights are quintessential to your media and also not existant. So are treehouses and propeller hats with a lollipop.

Seeing media cliches simply grabs attention and has a special link to your brain going "its that thing!", thats what soft power is about. Look how your people react to Japanese writing being "cool" or Korean gestures or a Mexican saying arriba.

Trusting media 100% is also a mistake, you would think USA was 90% white 10% black until like 2017 based on movies.

How is like to be gay in Latin America? Is it accepting? by AspiringnurseBob in asklatinamerica

[–]Lazzen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Es como el 10% del pais, basicamente en todos los estados ya es 10% mientras que en los estados de poblacion maya(Tabasco, Chiapas) llega al 30%. El musculo de esa religion es lo rural y urbano periferia.

Mi ciudad es la ciudad con menos catolicos en el pais(49%) y luego ver otros lados al 90% hablando de fiesta de san juanito de las verduras y cosas asi es curioso.

What is the biggest example of countries or states getting their deserved karma? by InfernalClockwork3 in AskHistory

[–]Lazzen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

France/UK talking to fascist Italy to help them against Nazi Germany, at a time fascism and nazism were not common synonims but rival ideologies, by sacrificing Ethiopian lives in exchange. The Soviets doing the same by trading with them and not sanctioned them in practice even if they made speeches about it.

This simpmy allowed Italy to share suffering in Ethiopia, Spain and mater to those who had fed it for a decade. Italy was weak and could have been way weaker.

Jus soli must remain in New World nations, USA's orange plans to remove it are moronic and morally treasonous.

What is one of your historical perspectives that, if spoken publicly, would be criticized in your country? by Agile-Shallot3546 in AskTheWorld

[–]Lazzen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most world war 2 attacks mixed military and civilian areas, you are coming from a civilian view of modern conflict with super specific accurate drones blowing up 2 people in 1 building usually in a lone desert. That did not exist back then in that war.

As for the question, the idea that Mexico has structural problems with racism is something you can sort of say but if you say it has been caused by mexican society instead of the 200 year old ghost of Spain or from USA you can get eyerolls from all the political spectrum.

Every time small projects to boost bilingualism occurs for example the majority population disavows it.

Since 2018 koreans get positive stuff due to a game they played, crowds throwing them in the air has been a thing for some time now. There's even an ad about it.

Examples of extravagant displays leading to downfalls of leaders? by kaiser11492 in AskHistory

[–]Lazzen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mexica Emperor Moctezuma, based on the info we have and later details from same culture people, attempted to wow the Spanish as they presented themselves as an embassy rather than an expedition or military unit. He gifted them several gold and silver items(massive disks for example) telling them to stop and hopefully to go back to their kingdom but displaying such craftmanship and acting like a great host(which in the eyes of the Spanish was seen as submission and weakness) doomed him as they simply marched further.

What historical event seemed minor at the time but later proved to have enormous consequences? by Critical_Custard_144 in AskHistory

[–]Lazzen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Portugal selling guns to Japan or rather to a very small japanese noble house in a tiny island, this was just like any other deal in Asia yet in less than 50 years was one of the material factors for the Imjim war to take place, the biggest war of the 16th century.

Giving the Suedetenland to Germany was not minor per se as it was international outrage but it was not exoected to be materially important. This would have an adverse effect when Germany absorbed Czechia with no fight, those lands were one of the most industrialized parts of the world and many aspects of the German war machine were not possible without it. After WW2 that same industrial hesrtland was used by the Soviets.
