Americans are still innocent by comparison to these movements. Latinos see their governments as mainly corrupt and incompetent. The main ideology of most latinos is a desire for economic stability.
With average IQ of 84 in Colombia, Venezuela or Panama their sophistication is limited to "full belly policy".
As long as belly is full, government is good. All what they have learned is that government delivering corn and potatoes today is more trustwordy than one promissing lobsters, caviour and sushi tommorow.
It can work to a degree.
https://www.photius.com/rankings/nation ... ranks.html Best example at the moment would be Colombia. I traveled there extensively on business in the 90's. Still deep in crisis with leftist FARC, private militias, narco organizations and a government torn apart. Today the country is opening up, relieved to leave this violent chapter behind them, if you go there you will see a collective culture with a feeling of liberation from all these extremes. Well educated society, some of the best universities in Latin America. Still have many problems and security issues in some local areas within the country but all in all much more stable. Tourism is booming. Citizens are not in a funk. They are experiencing a renaissance.
It is very likely that you are judging this nation base on impression gained by dealing with their elites.
Son of my good friend have recently married high end Colombian beauty.
Within 2 years she have learned our language perfectly, apears intelligent and feminine and our local girls are looking like complete retards comparing to this particular one.
However she is from Colombian elites and certainly not an average Colombian.
Latinos are not entitled as a culture. They do not expect anything from their governments. So they are much better prepared for the consequences of human overshoot. Americans are deeply steeped in entitlement whether they are political right or left. They still naively believe that government will fix things that can no longer be fixed..... like the BIG SQUEEZE of human ecological overshoot.
Here we agree. America is a done deal, it is transforming into 3rd World. No argument here.
Critical demographic threshold have been crossed and Latinos will take it over as time pass.
This has nothing to do with race by the way. Your comments on race are typical of eastern europeans. We have guests from Russia, Poland, Ukraine this year. It is amazing how almost universal opinion they have of seeing blacks and latinos as inferior. Since I am a host here at our resort I take a neutral position mostly. But your comments did not surprise me as they are pretty typical of folks from your region. Most eastern european countries are racially xenophobic. You have very little history of racial diversity. It is understandable your racism. It is refreshingly unfiltered. I will say that.
Racism issues are usually difficult to discuss because they are tending to go contentious easily, but here is my go on it:
As you surely know my wife is Chinese. We were living in the UK for more than 10 years and now for last 15 years we are living in Poland.
Yet she would say that Brits are racist (and she felt it) but Poles are not.
We are rather not tolerant to retards but not racists as such.
We simply don't want retards in our country and we do not tolerate ethnic groups who are confusing a goat with their girlfriend, pushing women under trains for fun or simply run derelict lifestyle on streets of our cities without any chance to assimilate.
So such ethnicities as a *groups* are vieved with utmost suspicion but selected members of high IQ end and with suitable skillset can lead here very fulfilling, unhindered life. Yet to do so they must embrace our values and reject their own.
We have also significant Vietnamese minority (~40000 peoples, approximately 0.1% of total).
But guess what?
I have never seen any of them lying drugged up on the street and shitting under himself, they don't beg, don't steal, don't rape, they all have successful businesses or jobs and they are all well liked and respected.
We don't even mind their tax evasion.
But again, Far Eastern Asians are white supremacists or so American progressives are saying.
BTW, my Chinese wife is even whiter than I am, so she is "supreme white" indeed.
When I was looking for a woman I have consciously rejected our *white* women as unreliable troublemakers carrying a high risk of family ruin when married. So I have tried few beauties of other races/nations and after basic screening to reject obviously retarded and useless ones "first come, first served" policy was applied. Happened to be Chinese but there was also Iranian, Japanese and Sri Lankan candidates.
Chinese have beaten others because she didn't bother to secure parents permit, so she was first. Best decision of my life.
