For instance, Mexicans could have chosen to declare themselves the children of Hernán Cortés who not only spoke the language they speak and practiced the culture that’s theirs today but was also a mega-winner. Instead, they decided to go with Cuauhtémoc, who not only had a culture they don’t practice and a language they don’t speak, but also was… not a winner.
Americans went with George Washington, and look at the result.
And within America there’s a sub-culture that names their kids after Confederate generals. And they still have lower incomes 160 years later.

Mexicans have the National Museum of Interventions …
… or as War Nerd called it, the Museum of Defeats.
Maybe they’ll get those grand boulevards widened for the tanks and aircraft before the next “intervention”. 🙂
