350 years? We're already there, dude. People are barely literate. No one is reading. Have you seen what they teach at the universities? It's all pseudoscience and nonsense. STEM graduates can't define the scientific method. The common man on the streets doesn't even know how to start a fire, even if you equip him with matches. Idiocracy is here. We just live in buildings that were raised by a much more advanced people (our ancestors). The idea that we are an advanced people, today in 2021, is an illusion. When the Notre Dame burnt down, do you think they wanted to rebuild it with glass and steel beams? No, they just don't know how to build it like it was.
South Africa became the whitest country in Africa and it also became the most developed country in Africa but obviously now that whole situation is deteriorating rapidly with whites being killed, driven away, and persecuted mercilessly by the black majority.
Isn't it odd that we will walk right up to the answer and then dance around it. "Culture" is not the answer to the question of why Mexico is different.
Mexico is the way it is because Mexico is full of Mexicans. By Mexican, I mean a genetic mix, some greater, some lesser, of European and indigenous peoples. The more European, the more Western their culture.
The left is interested in one thing, and one thing only...control. The left believes that human nature is a variable they can control. It's not a variable, it's a constant, and they will throw you in a gulag (I'm sorry, reeducation camp) to prove it.
Mexico actually formed a Constitutional Republic based on the American version. The Europeans didn't like that, so installed their own dictator after the Mexican Civil War, Mexico has been unstable ever since.
It doesn't help that they have a dual class of citizens, though.
Are you sure about that? The Mexican drug cartels didn't really take power until the past several decades. Prior to that, other groups led the drug trade and the Mexicans were just mules.
That's a point I made elsewhere on this thread. They had a Constitutional Republic modeled after the US, but the Europeans didn't like that so they overthrew that with Santa Ana and a whole bunch of corrupt successors. They've had chaos ever since.
Mexico has been decimated by America's drug problem, because we 'fight them (the cartels) over there so we don't have to fight them (our horde of doper drug addicts) over here'.
Same could be said of most of Latin America. The United States has never been willing to confront it's drug problem, we'd rather blame it on the people trying to meet the demand.
In other news, no evidence has been discovered that any sub-Saharan African civilization ever independently discovered the wheel.
It's really interesting to look ar parallel time lines for Europe, Africa and the Americas and see where each was technically at the same time. Very eye opening.
The difference between Europeans and Africans seem to be their ability to use and make advanced tools.
Europeans learned how to shape and harden steel, and then mastered cutting down trees and shaping lumber, and Africans can't get very far passed sticks and stones.
This is what fucking pisses me off, we’re going beyond not judging someone by the color of their skin, to NOT judging them by the content of their character.
Good content of character puts you on a raft in hopes of a better life being handed to you instead of working to create a better life in your own country?
Europeans arrive in Africa - 1652
"where are your ships? Cities? Roads?, WTF have you been doing?"
"Stone age shit."
And in 350 years we will still be doing the same shit.
kangs and shit

Yeah i think that is what Alpha was saying. 350 years later (now basically) they are still doing the same shit..
Now, now, it wasn't that bad. Some of them had advanced to the iron age... after being lifted up by the Arabs.
South Africa became the whitest country in Africa and it also became the most developed country in Africa but obviously now that whole situation is deteriorating rapidly with whites being killed, driven away, and persecuted mercilessly by the black majority.
"Being fucked by Arab slavers for a millennia."
Romans hit Egypt and didn’t bother with rest of continent.
Hell, Egypt didn’t either
Funny yet true.
I'm reminded that Mexico is only like 20 years younger than the USA and yet the countries are so far apart on the success scale.
Do you think it might have something to do with culture?
Isn't it odd that we will walk right up to the answer and then dance around it. "Culture" is not the answer to the question of why Mexico is different.
Really, so what is?
Mexico is the way it is because Mexico is full of Mexicans. By Mexican, I mean a genetic mix, some greater, some lesser, of European and indigenous peoples. The more European, the more Western their culture.
Do we really need to say it?
The magic of stigma which is how the left survives.. Make up words like racism, apply stigma, use liberally for any personal failures. Magic.
The left is interested in one thing, and one thing only...control. The left believes that human nature is a variable they can control. It's not a variable, it's a constant, and they will throw you in a gulag (I'm sorry, reeducation camp) to prove it.

Drug Cartels probably don’t help either
Well, yes, but the drug cartels are just a branch of US intelligence at this point, so that one's on us.
Mexico had drug cartels long before it got into bed with us intelligence agencies, still on them.
Are you sure about that? The Mexican drug cartels didn't really take power until the past several decades. Prior to that, other groups led the drug trade and the Mexicans were just mules.
Dude Mexico has had never ending corruption dating back to santa anna
That's a point I made elsewhere on this thread. They had a Constitutional Republic modeled after the US, but the Europeans didn't like that so they overthrew that with Santa Ana and a whole bunch of corrupt successors. They've had chaos ever since.
Cartel members and non-cartel members?
White Mexicans of European descent have a very privileged place in Mexican society.
Mexico has been decimated by America's drug problem, because we 'fight them (the cartels) over there so we don't have to fight them (our horde of doper drug addicts) over here'.

Look at Middle East
They were actually pretty advanced compared to Europe, but then something began to hold them back...
But we're all supposedly equal
The difference between Europeans and Africans seem to be their ability to use and make advanced tools.
Europeans learned how to shape and harden steel, and then mastered cutting down trees and shaping lumber, and Africans can't get very far passed sticks and stones.
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Based,
Saved to my Informative folder!
Those guys on the bottom need to shape up and proudly fly their red-black-green pan-african colors.
1652?

And to this day, the South African Governement blames Jan van Riebeck for everything that goes wrong
