Cultural, ethnicities, brazil being mainly made up of imports from Africa. And also brazil is a believe majority uninhabitable land/jungle, and same with a good amount of land. The only nation with a decent amount of arable land on the continent would be Argentina. In comparison to the U.S, most of the u.s has arable land, along with bundles of resources. Location, location, location user.

Because your defninition of "rich" involves pulling all the resources out the ground and trading them to jews for pixels.

They're richer than you'll ever be.

Corruption

Genetics

Nigger and indian genes and a fatal fascination of hispanic people with socialism

Culture

Wasn't South America doing pretty well, when they were white? Let's say circa 1900

Find diamonds and oil in your backyard and tell me how easy it is for you to sell them.

Paradox of plenty.

But in their defense, socialism was pushed on them from the outside. Latin America started going down the toilet when they tried to mimic the American and French Revolutions.

Some of the most authoritarian right-wing leaders in history have been Latin American.

Corruption and the west.

How a woman ruined an entire continent with just one sentence

we were not a macro nation like the US by the time the world wars happened so we didn't have the money or coordination to set up the automobile and guns industry to have an economical advantage to all the other nations at war
nothing to do with culture or ethnicity as far as i'm concerned
the only other richfags are Europeans that stole their way into relevance 300 years ago, that and Adam Smith

Ressources doesn't mean shit, if you don't have a culture where individuals get rewarded for entrepreneurship, and aren't protected from corruption.
The states ONLY JOB is to promote win-win transactions between individuals in society.
Win-lose transactions result in a demoralized society that doesn't even bother trying to succeed.

same reason most easymode countries aren't rich, there's no point, you can literally do nothing in warm fertile places and still live pretty comfortably, unlike northern europe where life is shit without hard work.

Japs, S. Koreans, Arab oil countries: Bahrain, UAE, Kuwait

Half of Argentine is a desert. It maybe be rich in some minerals.

Brazil don't have fertile soil. We need a lot of fertilizers and equipment to produce soybean and we are transform ours forest in a desert due livestock.

We just need a Pinochet to put order in this shithole.

it's not just about having resources, it's also about having a geography conducive of cheap transport of said resources

Japan is a medium sized country with a high population (#10 in the world).

(South) Korea was a backwater nation and still would be without USA propping them up against S Korea/China.

Arab countries are mostly shitholes except for a few super rich people who control the natural resources.

Basically the diversity of the ruling class. No trust and constant undermining of other economic interest groups.

We have very little plains, lots of mountains near the littoral, and LOTS of niggers.

They're unable to escape the malthusian trap because modern technology, foreign aid and other advents has resulted in higher birth rates, longer lives meaning that incomes don't increase which is the single most important economic factor in determining quality of life and the development of industry.

In the malthusian trap, what we consider modern virtues, things like longer lives, peace ect. are actually inverted and become issues for people in the malthusian economy.

Foreign aid not only sustains these people and encourages higher birth rates but it also fucks economic development and introduces a situation where they cannot become self sufficient and people cannot improve their own income levels. If these places want to improve they need to lower birth rates and stop accepting foreign aid

They did well in the 1900 because there were much less people alive and their industry wasn't being screwed by foreign aid.

race mixing
also somebody post GLR's thoughts on south america, I've posted it before but I cant find it

They're fine.

Literal niggers and niggers by soul. And jews have ran this shit for centuries, they were in charge of provinces as early as the 16th, not to mention their role in pau Brasil, Gold, diamond, rubber etc.

It was populated by (((new christians))) + niggers + paleolithic indians and was colonized by the worst countries of Europe. It's weird how this continent even survived for so long.

Socialism and corruption.

I apologize for repeating myself.

Because instead of ethnically cleansing the natives, we fucked them.

>lots of mountains near the littoral
and the population is mostly on the littoral
as a result, transport of energy, resources and goods is prohibitively expensive
see

the CIA using them as a playground to practice methods of assassination and destabilization. the CIA working with and funding drug cartels in their countries

communism

the southern cone and southeastern states of brazil have pretty good HDI rankings

resources are bad, they make it easier to just fuck around and get by selling copper, lithium or whatever, instead of actually working to get things.

look at us, we have the highest gdp per capita in the region even though we are surrounded by enemies and our only resource is grass

There are many reasons why, Race mixing, socialist policies, a lack of understanding on how to run a country properly, the left wing won the narrative/cultural war around here, a culture that doesn't value it's own history, etc.

Besides, when it comes to Brazil, we have a fair amount of arable land, but the vast majority of our resources cost alot for us to extract and export.

Yet you are one of the biggest economies in the world.

Almost like our money doesn't exchange fairly upon the mighty dollar.

>grass
And mate tea, besides the most of out economy is dependent on ours, which kinda sucks cuz you guys are stuck in Mercosul just like us.

>Brazil don't have fertile soil.
Are you retarded? Ever heard of terra rossa? Do you have idea of how much we export?

Our contient has never had big wars at all.
Our only enemy has been the weather.
Peace is our curse

Amerindians. Bad human capital basically. US will have the same fate.

We dont grow mate, we actually buy all of it from you. Mercosur is about 30% of our market, which i agree is too much

And you are one of the most free countries in the world, and you guys had Pinochet...Hmmm realy makes you think why you guys are so rich compared to US.

Besides, this whole "Brazil is one of the biggest economies in the world" is just a meme, we have been on a economic decline for 3 years now, and things will stay the same for a very long time, check the of countries per gdp and compare our position now to the early years.

>They're richer than you'll ever be.

sure

Oh sorry, I thought you were an Argen. for a sec. ...yeah well, at least you guys are alright, even though you started that meme with Mujica

WE WUZ EXPLOTAH N SHIT
t.araukANO

My country has never been socialist or communist and we are still a violent, corrupt shithole.

Your country is different, you had the whole drug war meme going on with Pablo and all the other guerrilas and militias. Also you still have the same race mixing problem/ low Iq problem that we all have.

The CIA has regularly and repeatedly cucked the entire continent for the benefit of American citizens and Corporations.

Hopefully eugenics can fix the indio problem soon lads.

>MUH CIA
t.nuMale Mcsoyboy

... FARC, dude. The reason you are a violent and corrupt country literally is the communists.
(Or so I was told. Shitty American media and all, so forgive me if I'm mislead.)

In twenty years Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay will reach first world standards of living and will be considered as such for all intents and purposes. This change in perception will follow up along the bolivarian bloc until ending in Colombia and Panama.

Brazil, Venezuela, and the little shitty countries like Suriname and Guyana will remain shitholes for the forseeable future but will eventually advance I guess.

Because 9/10 political parties are "Something Something Socialist Party" or "Social Something Something" party?

Not here

This.
South America is basically feudal. The ones that they show you are poor but alot of people live there like Kings.

>still believes in the CIA meme.
You know, the vast majority of the coups around here were done by the military and the opposition, right? Just look at the amount of coups Argentina had. Not to mention, in the case of Brazil we were the ones that did the whole coup without your help.
They used to be commies until they decided to do drugs and all that kind of shit, now they are more like a left wing party (like literally a political party) I think that they might win some sits on the colombian gov. (sorry colombianos, yo no sé si ustedes tienen un parlamento o una camara de los diputados)

Where do you see South America in one century?

You are only including Argentina there because of Macri, right? Do you have any idea how Peronismo still controlls that fucking country?

socialist shithole

In war,hopefully.
People here need o form actual countries

Socialism brought to you by no one else than the Catholic church

This, I'm sorry to say. The truth is that the average person here is pretty dumb, even by the already low standards of average people in "developed countries".

The current immigration of Haitians and Congolombians coupled dysgenic fertility will not make the situation better.

This however applies to a greater or lesser extent to almost everywhere in the world. In 100+ years probable the only developed countries left will be in east Asia together with Australia, NZ and Canada.

FARC were stablished just 53 years ago. Since our independence in 1820, we have had a lot of civil wars between our corrupted elites. FARC was mainly present in rural and abandoned areas, off course they were strong during the 80's and the 90's but they never took a big city or the central regions were most of the population and wealth is located. The fact is, they help to halt or progress but they're not the main issue, just the biggest scapegoat of the corrupted elites.
FARC became a political party after the peace deal. We have a bicameral congress with the Senate and the House of representatives.

Canada will breach the 50% non-white scale before America does, only they'll be mostly asian and educated south american immigrants.

and exotic wood nowadays

Our country is shit because our goverments are shit, only leftists who live like rich people, and cheap copies of good capitalist ideas.

Also, people from my country are stupid, they just vote for old presidents or charismatic guys, and are worries only about who stole less instead of government programs and how these bitches are going to improve our country.

tl;dr Chile sucks

Exactly, that's the point. The average immigrant in Canada, Aus and NZ has a similar IQ to the native born population. Actually, the "smart fraction" (google it) is probable higher which leads to an economic benefit. The last part applies as well to the USA with Silicon Valley and their university system.

Only a terminal retard would call peace a curse.

>Europe have had lots of big wars among it hisotry
>This caused Nationalism and made people stick their country men
>Richest and most advanced continent on the world

>South America have had nothing but peace on its history
>People not.join but nothing except being born in a country that wasn't created by them. causing extreme individualism and people running away at the first difficulty.
>Most corrupt continent as no one cares about something bigger than themselves or their family

Because they're monkeys.

When people mistake a continent for a single government nation lmao. That's South America m8 not Australia

See: Monroe Doctrine and the absolute fuckery the Jewnited States has been involved in down there for the better part of 60 years now

We're basically the same people

>Brazil has the 9th largest GDP (between Italy & Canada)

But 90% of our resources go straight to the Jews & Multinational Capitalists.

5% go to the 1% Corrupt Elite living here.

The remaining 5% are distributed to more than 400 million of poor people

Nationalists as Bolsonaro wanna stop it!
1) Protect our resources, stop giving it to Jews.
2) Purge corrupt politicians
3) Purge degenerate commies
4) Modernize, Invest in Education & Technology

KYS retard

>nothing but peace on its history
kek how many cups of flint michigan tap water do you drink a day. Most of those places have been raped so hard by CIA niggers its not even funny

I just want to say perdon :( We regret mixing with the natives.

>Comparing politican coups to actual wars

>flag

what about Europe?

Will you ever go back to being my little brother's colony? You were a lot happier back then ameigo.

N_GGERS
Tip: People who annoy you.

They may not be full on wars but internal civil conflicts like that are probably more damaging economically than a major war. You guys have been cucked so many times by so many different leaders and you still don't realize that the corruption comes from outside.

>mfw it will probably remain a shithole for the next century.

USA imperialism got them.

>They may not be full on wars but internal civil conflicts like that are probably more damaging economically than a major war.
You are talking as if there was a civil war after every coup

>I just want to say perdon :( We regret mixing with the natives.

Don't forget Spain mixed with Muslims & Jews

Spain was a Muslim Caliphate.

When the Christian Spaniards expelled the Muslims, Christian took Muslim & Jewish Waifus.

Because that Hispanics have Middle East Blood

France, Italy & Balkans also have Middle East Ancestry

Maybe, but I find that quite hard do believe, but it could explain why Argentina, Brazil and Chile (the ABC countries) are the best (least shitty) countries around here.

I know there wasn't really but had there been you all would probably be better off, instead you goys just let small conflicts and guerilla fighters distract you while (((they))) keep stealing literally ALL of your shekels.

So sorry we mixed with the natives amigo :(

Ask the ameridruggies

...

Since when is Sup Forums forocoches?

>(((they))) keep stealing literally ALL of your shekels.
Nope.
We steal eachother

>Will you ever go back to being my little brother's colony?

Hispanics could come together, merge & become a Huge & Powerful Empire again.

Nothing against it. Would be Great.

The GDP would be huge. & It would be a Military Superpower.

We should annex Southwest USA & Florida too
