@@keeratdhaelival2054 very true just like how fire is cold and the sky is yellow😂
Here is a thing this short doesn't mention: Aztec's justice decisions were also going on, depending on the social status you had. For example, a macehualli (commoner) would be punished for drunkenness but given a second chance, because they were regarded as more poorly educated and clueless to begin with. On the other hand, a tecuhtli (nobleman) would get right away the full extent of the penalty, because they were supposed to be impeccable role models to the society. The Aztec civilization had a very severe viewpoint on how one must repay lack of dignity. The more dignity your rank had, the harsher your sentence got.
good ticking
@@TsrfFdgs its exactly like the romans. And even in the bible too it says that poor or sick people are forgiven for drunkeness😮

@@yt.1409wait
I mean that’s one is pretty fair to a extent. I don’t think they should be a slave for life, but until they are able to pay 2x times what they stole. Having extreme punishments makes it a good incentive to not do said crime.

Not funny tho its sad
"The Aztecs didn't have prisons" is the scariest fucking sentence you can start a dissertation with.
Plenty of premodern societies did not have prisons as modern prison systems can only be run by modern industrial societies who had the resources and organizational infrastructur for them.
In premodern times, the only time you get to see a cell is if you were 1) held for ransom or 2) awaited trial after being accused of a crime. Afterwards you got sentenced and punishments were either fines, enslavement, exile, corporal punishment, and assorted forms of execution.

boy, do you realize that there were people over 70 years old in the Aztec empire while in medieval Europe you had to reproduce before the age of 30 or you would not leave a legacy?
Edit: you should really calm down, I didn't meant to say europeans were less advanced or smt, they had metal, yeah, but aztecs also had they own armery, in fact, the only reason why they got conquered was bc the other pre-Hispanic towns hated aztecs as well and they helped the Spanish to fight against them, In addition to the diseases and plagues that the conquerors brought, of course.
Edit2: I also want to say that The Spanish were also fierce conquerors and I am not really proud of having so much warrior blood (both Spanish and Aztec) they were simply other times and what was then the normal now we see it as barbaric

@DoneWithEvrything I mean that the Aztec empire and civilization were not backwards. On the contrary, they were very advanced regardless of human sacrifice. If you read the actual primary sources regarding them from the Spanish, they were very hygienic compared to Europe,had writing,mathematics,etc
@DoneWithEvrything Bernal Diaz del Castillo, one of Cortés' men, describes Tenochtitlán:
When we saw all those cities and villages built on water; and the other great towns on dry land, and that straight and level causeway leading to Mexico, we were astounded. These great towns and shrines and buildings rising from the water, all made of stone, seemed like an enchanted vision from the tale of Amadis. Indeed some of our soldiers asked whether it was not all a dream. It is not surprising therefore that I should write in this vein. It was all so wonderful that I do not know how to describe this first glimpse of things never heard or, never seen, and never dreamed of before.
Bernal Diaz, "The Conquest of New Spain," c.1565
“ Back in my day, we would be pepper sprayed for disobeying “

Or they didn't care if you got drunk after 70 because of how few people made it to 70 years.
Plus, surviving to the age of 70 was pretty common in Europe, assuming you made it past the age of 5 or so.
Low life expectancy came primarily from childhood mortality, not the general conditions

I believe there was another form of execution for POW's where you were tied to a post and given a simple wooden club, and then matched up in a fight to the death against a well rested, well fed Aztec warrior armed with a shield and a macahuital (a club with a sword like edge made by fixing shards of obsidian along the length). You had very slim odds, but maybe you could at least break his nose or something first, and you'd go down swinging.
There were a lot of methods of execution for POWsz they got creative with that. They did not see anyone outside of the empire as human had no problem making spectacles out of executing them, and wasn’t uncommon for competitions to see who could put do the others.
Also if you won, I believe they would give you your freedom because killing a jaguar warrior or eagle warrior in a 1v1 with odds stacked against you was a great feat.

Cheating on your partner was legit 👍🏼
Imagine gettinf lied on by your partner
Only because getting paid and given something better
Well that would be horrific
It would likely require witnesses trusted by the community, which might be hard to find witnesses to catch adulterers in the act, so it would likely be hard to accuse someone of cheating. This is all assuming they actually cared about verifying the claims.
@@Rahat2056Seeing how women were treated in these times, a man could probably make the claim and they would belive him while a woman would need evidence. If it even was forbidden for a man to do it.
@@brotbrotsen1100 Yeah. Such a man is not of good character. So it is very important for the people in judicial positions back then to be good judges of character, impartial to people's status in society. Corruption sucks.
"They weren't fussy as long as you died" 😂😂
Need to bring this back. Much needed in American Democrat cities
Stoning on top ngl
Imagine getting drunk as hell and then waking up bald with a destroyed house beside you
Ah, an average Friday
What’s the plan Dutch?
@@PureAmericanChristianjohn you gotta stop asking Dutch for the plan i don’t think he has one yet!
@@stanleybochenek1862 uncle, go have another drink before lumbago takes its last toll on ya!
"It's just a joke bro!"
"They weren't fussy as long as you died" part got me dying 💀
same like sounds non problematic
Stealing from crush and becoming her slave be like
oddly specific. lmao
I see this as an absolute win
Bottom spotted
Sub spotted
That's smart as hell! 😭😭😭
"why does he get to drink as much as he wants?!!"
"He's earned that right you haven't"
Dad: "oh you didn’t clean your side of the house huh"
*pulls out match’s and chile peppers
Or getting pepper sprayed by your mom for not doing your homework.
Imagine passing out at a party and your homies shave your head 💀
NOW THEY CAN'T PUNISH YOU!!, sleep all you want, they can't do shit😊
oh
ok
I'd be more concerned about them demolishing my house
Friends will be friends
*Being drunk:* Guy's sleepover prank
*Kid complains:* TEAR GAS MOTHAFUKA
bro were your friends bulldozing your house when you fell asleep first at the sleepover??
@@catwantsfishiehappened last week😔
@@actionbusbus#relatable
Yikes
Drunk man realizing his hair was cut off and his house destroyed: "I didn't do that; did I?"
The stealing then becoming a slave is weirdly poetic
Bc they steal your freedom?
Drunk, hair shaved and house smashed.
Then: A punishment
Now: It's just a prank bro
Imagine surviving 70 years in such an empire, it would have been a wild ride
The empire itself only lasted 93 years. USA has lasted 2.7x as long and mexico 2.1x as long. It wouldve been a crazy ride for a 70 year old. Youd see it in its early days, watch it go to full swing, and then watch it all crumble. If europeans had landed just a few decades later then they probably would've come across a region post revolution. That empire was way too crazy to last long. Everyone else under their heel was looking for an opportunity to rise up. The spanish arrived at the perfect time to take advantage of that
Not that hard. Just don't break the law
Definitely, imagine all the cool wars there was
@@TheBacknblack92 actually for 200 years, but these punishments could have definitely predated the actual empire itself. its not like in the mid 1300s these people spawned out of nowhere and created the Aztec empire. more likely, it was a bunch of city-states with really similar culture that was united under a conqueror from one of them and then made himself the emperor and head of religion.
Crimes a crime
Gracias Hernan Cortés por tanto.
“They didn’t care much as long as you died”💀💀💀
The drunkenness one is crazy. Just gonna randomly throw in your house getting demolished
it was just a stick and mud hut. buil another one in an afternoon.
Is that the only punishment you found 'crazy'? ....ok
No, one drunk person could accidentally set an entire city on fire. So destroying your house makes sense, because you put everyone's house at risk.
@@erosgritti5171That s 'using a sledge Hammer to crack a nut' sort of thinking..
Disproportionate and irrational. Unless you spoke from data that indicated that during that time the single greatest cause of village/house fire were the drunks. Which you don't.
Should we destroy the houses of drunk drivers because an inebriated driver could in principle plough into a group of school children crossing the road?
I mean, they were simply destroying other ppl’s property, themselves, so… it makes sense
I love how calm this guy is when he said
"If found guilty, U'd be strangled 🥰Or stone 😇"

Simple you take somebody's property you become somebody's property

Aztecs: “So you have chosen… death.”
HAHAHAHAHAH
Natural selection baby 😂😂

The “back in my day” stories from the abuelos were EPIC back in the day!! 😳
"They weren't fussy as long as you died."
Im getting a Tshirt made.
"Yea, just kill him. Don't really much care how."
Conquistadors : " we have to put a stop to this "
Orther tribes: " say less "
man conquistadors just wanted money tbf
@@castrelspirit yeah but they didn't get involved until other tribes willingly I like themselves to the Conquistadors just to get rid of the Aztecs because the Aztecs were so bad that the Conquistadors had to stop the other tribes from wiping them out
@@castrelspiritand despite of that,
The other tribes still teamed up with them to beat up the aztecs
Conquistadors were as bad
@@leoylilly2 no they weren't after the fighting was done it was the other tribes that went too far to try to annihilate them it was the Conquistadors that tried to stop the other tribes from wiping out the Aztecs
