Latin America has an abundance of natural resources but is way poorer than the Gulf Arab oil states
5 (Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait) of the top 50 countries in HDI are Arab while only 2 are Latin American (Argentina, Chile)
What went wrong with Latin America?
What went right with the Gulf states?
Latins ended slavery.
Arabs are still caucasians.
LatAm is poor man's caucasian mixed with native mixed with nigger slave
arabs have high IQ, behind only jews and east asians, same as north europeans
latin americans have low IQ because of inbreeding with blacks, also because of savage aztec blood
Lets see.
>indian slaves
>small population
>abundance of the most valuable raw material in the world
Latin America has none of that, apart from Venezuela with their oil. Also, I like the meme about Latin America having an abundance of natural resources.
socialism
The only valid answer is that Gulf Arabs allied with the Americans and Latin-Americans didn't.
Look at Iraq and Iran, they have infinite oil too but are poor because they opposed the Americans at one point in time.
Arabs are dumb as shit. So are you.
It's the BBC genetics
kys faggot
you were more than happy in mixing back then
what national resources do they have besides bugs and plants?
oil
Actually socialism in Latin America led to more redistribution of extraction's income and thus a rise of HDI.
Hardly the problem.
More like Socialism in Latin America has lead to guerrillas and stagnant economies desu
More like active boycott by North Americans in LatAm
Minerals, wood, precious metals, agriculture, etc
not
hard to extract due to jungle and all, desert not so much
We spent decades terraforming half of our country so we could plant anything. With 200kk people, our resources are relatively scarce. Take a look at Australia and Canada if you want to see truly resource rich countries. You all had it handed to you.
Guerrillas is not the reason of the current economic stagnation in Latin America m8, even in Colombia.
Uranium
Keeeeek do you Brazilians unironically believe this ?
You are stupid. Do you really want me to educate you here? Don't embarass yourself Pierre.
To be fair, I would have done the same.
My penis is the strong argument.
Brazil is excuses:the country. We have excuses ready for any situation or topic.
Never said that, however Latin America was fucked hard by the Cold War with the Soviet Union and US playing proxie organizations against one another. Their economic stagnation is due in large part to an underdeveloped industrial sector.
I'm not making excuses you stupid jew. Fucking Ramiro I swear,
t. Chicano
US and USSR played proxy wars everywhere, not just Latin America
lmao
That's the point though. Why do you think so much of the world is so factionalized and shit? The Cold War destroyed any country that wasn't part of the 1st or 2nd world.
M8, you have oil, minerals, vast savanna to make grow everything, world biggest freshwater reserves, amazonas and even more.
Just compare your country to European one, WE have literally nothing.
Industrial sector who was bigger than Chinese One 30 years ago. Their elites just decided to return to some primary economy because it was more profitable in a short-term. This has nothing to do with socialism (except in Cuba and Venezuela lmao)
Countries like Korea were neither 1st nor 2nd world during the cold war
South Korea was dirt poor even 20 years ago
>WE have literally nothing.
Lmao. You pillage half the world for centuries.
France just pillaged Africa between 1880 and 1950 and it's not the reason of our wealthiness, neither for Germany, Italy or Scandinavians country.
Albion is the only successful pillaging country and its economy is full service now, whereas Spain and Portugal aka wold biggest gold-diggers are slav-tier countries.
I went to public schools in USA and even I know you're full of shit. Why can't former colonial powers just admit that they stole everything? It's not like anyone can make you pay it back, nor could you even if you tried.
>We dindoo nuffin
They will never admit that they pillaged half the world and a big part of their wealth is because of this.
Meh read my post above only Albion really benefited from its colonies and still now they have a full-service economy.
France has colonies in Africa and there is a historian consensus on the fact that it was more costly than profitable.
Germany and Italy had almost no colonies, neither Scandinavia.
Meee what do they teach you in american schools (including Latin America).
>B-But we dindu noffin
Lmao, Haiti was responsible for the biggest chunk of your crown wealth for a time and here you are saying you dindu nuffin, ah fuck off Frog. And I must remind you that you still own colonial territories, there will be a day in which we will march on Cayenne again, but we won't handle it back to you.
Qatar Kuwait and UAE are small countries with a rather small population with lots of oil, and they depend on cheap labour from shithole countries while leaning back and reaping in the profits. Hence why they managed to do well materially.
He did the right choise, unless he's going to fuk the children, then it's a gg
>Haiti
>A third of a Caribbean island
>biggest chunk of your crown wealth
Lost in 1800's, we did it our own way since then. There is no relation between our economic wealth and colonies. Our current situation comes from early industrialization and clever elites, you can't deny it.
We had colonies in Africa in order to secure internal markets for our industrial productions it's true, but our colonies had few purchasing power so the colonial authority/state was buying everything with debts. Historians proved that it was more costly than profitable and that's it, stop repeating bullshit.
Just Spain, Portugal, Albion (and maybe Netherlands) really benefited from colonization, and I said above what is the current situation of these countries.
Uh I forgot the Dutch one. 1945 they leave Indonesia ==> 1950's biggest boom in Dutch's economy history.
>march on Cayenne
We have european spatial program there, and 2017 miss France in From there. Don't you dare take our clay or we will nuke the shit out of your macaca's bunda.
Aztecs were the last of Mesoamerivans, who built an advanced bronze age civilization in one fifth the time it took Europe. And only Mexicans carry Aztec blood. Also there was no "inbreeding" with blacks, the Caribbean aside no Latin American nation has as high a percentage of them as the USA.
The IQ thing is a dumb fuck racist's pipe dream with no real world data to back it up, you must be retarded if you're taking Lynn's data seriously.
Because gulf arabs countries are tiny in terms of population compared to Latin America, they've had to import everything from the people to build their cities to many of the people they actually need to run them, even so they're not sustainable, there's not enough resources (water) to sustain as high a population in the Arabic peninsula, let alone for growth. They've been artificially creating conditions through massive cash injections, sooner or later that will come to an end however.
Not all natural resources are accessible or SHOULD BE accessible. not to mention pollution, land rights and the locals opinions on resource extraction.
If I was some farmer and I learned that some company wants to use my land and I learned that in other countries that they use the government as a tool to pry people form their land of course I'd say no to them.
Shitty post
>France has colonies in Africa and there is a historian consensus on the fact that it was more costly than profitable.
It's all colonies bro. For Britian only India netted a profit
>Germany and Italy had almost no colonies
Germany and Italy entered the colony late but they had notable colonial possessions.
Are you this stupid as fuck?
>Just compare your country to European one, WE have literally nothing.
You had massive colonies.
>Italy and Germany
>notable colonial possessions
Wtf no.
Italy had Lybia and Ethiopia conquered in 1930's out of a bloody war.
Germany lost his colonies in 1919 and had few shit, this is why they were so triggered in Brussels conference of 1890 (you can check that).
Germany's economy in a example of historic auto-industrialization. This is why German economic theory on industrialism was so popular among independent African colonies in 1960's, because Germans did great job (check Friedrich List in google too).
Btw colonies are not the only reason for Europe wealth stop bullshitting. I'm fed up of giving arguments while people is just saying "you had colonies you are stupid" no shit sherlock, now just take a look on how they were managed and you'll see that they contribute much less than expected to European success, and were eventually the reason of Spain and Portugal later turmoils.
Why do Canadians care about goes on aross the other side of the globe. Focus on your own hemisphere.
It is not. And you should know it better.
Socialism fucked us.
This.
Wrong. Stop being retarded.
Corruption, that's the biggest problem we have
Oil>rocks
Also stuff like islam can be good for developing shitholes
Of course, there are many factors beyond that. But I consider it as the main problem.
What would you consider then?
Because they haven't nationalised their resources (and if they did they would be punished) and they're privately owned by Americans.
A prime example of how Anglo french domination is better than american/latin domination.
>french
>responding to stupid working class posters
lazy hedonistic siesta carnivale culture, no national or tribal identity. People do the bare minimum to help their families, no qualms in cheating the system, committing petty crime etc.
arabs are fiercely proud of their tribes and will literally kill themselves if they think it will benefit the collective. The only problem is when things don't go their way they don't dust themselves off and work harder like the germans or japanese, they just see red and work for vengeance.
Yeah because the french did such a REALLY GOOD WORK WITH THEIR COLONIES AM I RITE
better than the latins : ^ )
>the Caribbean aside no Latin American nation has as high a percentage of them as the USA.
What is Panama, Columbia, and yours truly Brazil. Brazil has the largest black population outside of Africa
>Lithuania
We are a part of the caribbean along with Panama
>being this incredibly uneducated.
OK I'll give you that. He still missed Big booty Brazil
Not sure how anyone could forget since half our population is black and brown
Does China have universal education? How are they scoring so high?
cheating
I keep saying. Wait until the oil runs out, or demand drops low enough to seriously hurt them.
Gulf states have little in the way of income outside of tourism, and oil. They will either invest their oil money now into the industries of tomorrow or they will slip into economic decline in the future.
Latin America may have shittier standards, but they also have a much more diverse economy.
>Latin America may have shittier standards, but they also have a much more diverse economy
True. Saudi Arabia, for example, is almost completely dependent of oil, their economy isn't diversified at all, and I don't think they intend to change that.
Other gulf states on the other hand are investing in tourism.
Dunno. I rather live here than in any part of the ME
