Date: June 27th, 2026 4:14 AM Author: The APE Penis idk SON, but in other instances of colonialism don't the most violent tribes usually survive? Like in the volcanic island chains off burma, the jarawa and sentinelese survived better than some of the great andamanese and other tribes on the nicobars because they reacted violently, where the other tribes were peaceful. You see similar dynamics among some uncontacted or recently contacted amazonian and gran chaco peoples in Peru, Paraguay etc. Maybe many of the assimilated peoples who survived also trended more violent. I guess there are examples against this though, like Tasmanian aboriginals resisting and still getting killed off. Could be that the types of Spanish that went over there were also way more violent than normal people. You would think that going over to a new land to potentially commit violent acts and conquer would attract that type. In puerto rico the tainos died off within like a decade and were peaceful, but the surviving people still seem pretty violent imo. And they are more Spanish than black or native, barely any native input because the tainos died so fast. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5877747&forum_id=2...id.#49965173) |

What the fuck is wrong with them? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5877747&forum_id=2...id.#49965177) |

Date: June 27th, 2026 4:33 AM Author: The APE Penis Idk, in central and south American I think in Spanish speaking areas where people wear normal clothes it's mostly mestizo admixed populations, but I'm sure there are pockets in rural areas of indigenous. In guatamala in the mayan highlaands and shit and in Bolivia in the Andes it is still very indigenous. Especially in the andes. But the Mayan highlands aren't even the most violent parts of guatemala. Especially the indigenous-majority parts. The violence is all cartel gang spots. Obviously scammers/extortion rings and shit too. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5877747&forum_id=2...id.#49965179) |

Date: June 27th, 2026 4:38 AM Author: The APE Penis I think they have some, but winning an election there doesn't mean you actually control the state. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5877747&forum_id=2...id.#49965181) |

Date: June 27th, 2026 4:50 AM Author: Lawyers are the lowest form of life. Tens of thousands, plus all the ones murdered by the secret police and just dumped into the Atlantic. Furking insane shit.
Have you read any Bolano, bro? |

Date: June 27th, 2026 4:52 AM Author: The APE Penis Never. I had actually never heard of him until recently when I saw his name floating around here recently and I googled it. I'm a big BORGES fan though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5877747&forum_id=2...id.#49965185) |

Start off with By Night in Chile.
Everything the man wrote was genius in spite of his weird obsession with porno and furking everyone all the time. |

Date: June 27th, 2026 4:15 AM Author: '"'''''''''''''"'/ Genetics. Imagine a North America that had interbred with the natives instead of murdering them all. It would be pretty violent too. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5877747&forum_id=2...id.#49965174) |
|
Date: June 27th, 2026 4:19 AM Author: The APE Penis Yeah but doesn't explain why with indigenous tribes there are always reports of extremely peaceful tribes mixed with ones that react violently. If it's just genetics shouldn't they all have been violent? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5877747&forum_id=2...id.#49965175) |

Date: June 27th, 2026 4:59 AM Author: ,.,..,.,..,.,.,.,..,.,.,,..,..,.,,..,.,,. depends on the specific latinx region. some places basically replicate american ghetto violence, like salvador in brazil. some have a lot of ghetto admixture, like venezuela or belize (not latinx as such, but close enough).
however, some of the most peaceable regions are areas like southern mexico, which are quite heavily native. bolivia, despite being an impoverished shithole, is only KIND OF violent in its native regions. alcohol clearly makes things worse for natives, as seen in parts of peru where crime is broadly unknown during the working hours, but suddenly surges at night when the bars are busy.
furthermore, how is it that a country like el salvador had a murder rate of 112 per 100,000 in the mid-2010's (one of the highest ever formally reported to the UN by a nation-state outside of a war), but collapsed below 2 within a decade?
a generic formula would be something like this: latinx criminality is a function of racial admixture plus certain 'trigger' factors which become active within, specifically, the amerind/mesoamerican portion of that admixture.
meaning that mesoamericans are capable of both relative peace and extraordinary (and sustained) violence. they are zealots for their particular cacique (chieftan). if the chieftan tells them to go to war, they will go completely apeshit berserk.
the role of cacique can be occupied by any sufficiently willful and stern-handed power. this includes colonists, local warlords/gang leaders, or national leaders, depending upon the circumstances. mesoamericans evolved under the whip-hand. they are probably temperamentally similar to the ancient egyptians.
note that cuba's admixture is mostly african, but it manages to keep crime under control through a forceful state which can inflict rapid punishments which frighten africans, specifically, into compliance.
this also explains to some degree why ecuador's anti-crime program has not been as successful as that of el salvador - once bukele became the ultimate cacique, the other salvadorans fell in line quickly. el salvador is probably around 75-80% mesoamerican and 5% african. ecuador is much less amerind and much more african, which changes the equation. honduras is similar in this respect. |

Did US destablisation of central america basically furk over all those countries? |
|
Date: June 27th, 2026 5:07 AM Author: ,.,..,.,..,.,.,.,..,.,.,,..,..,.,,..,.,,. sort of, however, they were kind of fucked prior to that. el salvador had a huge massacre/civil war in the 1930's which led in part to the 1980's war due to unsettled national divisions. the US and soviets trying to 'activate' different factions to kill each other in the cold war got a lot of people killed, but modern criminality is more a function of state-level weakness.
they need strong men at the top with dictator-level powers over the specific realm of criminal policy. that's how they would get pacified in theory.
to the extent that the US or western nations threaten sanctions for leaders not allowing shitlib 'judges' to run the judiciary, it only makes crime worse. |

Date: June 27th, 2026 5:11 AM Author: Lawyers are the lowest form of life. What was the populace in the 1930s? Would it have been 90%+ mestizo back then in El Salvador? Were these countries ever woke? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5877747&forum_id=2...id.#49965191) |

Date: June 27th, 2026 5:18 AM Author: ,.,..,.,..,.,.,.,..,.,.,,..,..,.,,..,.,,. the racial mix in most places hasn't changed that much during the 20th/21st centuries aside from the rapid growth of slum populations on the fringes of major cities.
part of the reason brazil became so much more violent after the 1970's was due to ruralized/small-towner populations of african/native/mixed people moving to the hillsides around major cities like rio and sao paulo and creating slums that post-dictatorship shitlib governments had no means of managing.
wokeness as a soft-on-crime/hands-off policy toward criminals goes back quite a long ways in some places. it wasn't really a philosophical wokeness in the sense of modern prison abolitionist retards who cite 'studies,' but more of a combination of neglect and political convenience. |

Date: June 27th, 2026 5:24 AM Author: Lawyers are the lowest form of life. TY bro where did you develop your expertise on Latin American society?
What do you think of the leftist sympathies in the 1970s and shit, misplaced hope, or a genuine direction for lost countries?
