looks better than most 3rd world cunts that post here

So poor they can't afford a trash bag? Should we send them some trash bags? I don't get it. Why so much trash? I feel for them and I know it can't be easy and nobody deserves to be poor but why so much trash?

can normal yanks enter a reservation? Are laws the same there?

Lisbon's slums

m.youtube.com/watch?v=5TxAsSZIvTg

Chaco province.
The people of that province look exactly like the people in the OP

Nope, most have their own laws and police. Really if the natives want to kill you on the res, they could, especially if their police turn a blind eye.

The parents are likely alcoholics or drug addicts who can't be assed to care about their home or their dogs or their daughter

>wake up depressed
>remember you aren't Native American
>suddenly life feels much better

The natives who actually live on the reservation proper are usually incompetent trash. Natives that can succeed at life leave for better areas that have job opportunities.

That sucks. I assume the photographer must have found the nastiest looking house he can find to show poor people have it rough. But I already know poor people have it rough, doesn't mean they are slobs and throw trash on the ground.

Maranhão state.

50% of these fucks are on gibsmedats.

I'm incompetent trash too (full time stay at home girlfriend who watches anime all day) but I can throw trash in the trash bag. (not myself)

>Really if the natives want to kill you on the res, they could, especially if their police turn a blind eye.
this is complete bullshit

The rural area isn't much better.

:DDDD

IX region, beautiful place
too bad about the people living there (mapuches)

Why, besides being poor, do they also have to be dirty and dress like scum?

If they only cleaned that place, and wore good clothes, they could actually look decent. It's as if they simply don't with to live with dignity.

Most people in the history of humanity had much less than they had. Julius Caesar never had a bicycle!

>meanwhile one state away
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2187456/Shakopee-Mdewakanton-Tribe-Casino-revenue-pays-member-1million-year.html
what is wrong here?

>mfw you notice the two dogs

They are dressed fine for poor Americans imho. That's standard "poorfag fashion" here.

I'll go a step further and say that if they got a trash bag and put the trash into the bag they would be about 200% better. Their window would still suck and they still ahve that weird mattress/doggy bed, but they'd have dignity. The photographer should have handed them a trash bag, costs a few cents if that, and maybe help teach them to put the trash into the trash bag.

There's a selection bias at work.

Successful people do not want to live on the reservation.

>Wake and realize you are native American
>But don't live on the reservation and don't have dark skin and hair
>literally get paid by tribe for no reason
>Also pay college tuition
Not joking

>Julius Caesar never had a bicycle!

Heh, Julius Caesar never had an Iphone, poor guy.

Laxå (show in pic related) is the poorest town in Sweden

>poorest of USA have a better and bigger kitchen than mine
>i'm classified "middle class" by the Brazilian government

Simply epic.

The trash is what bothers me the most. How can they do see it? Frankly, it makes me lose pity for them. They have no sense of dignity. You can almost sense that, if you gave them money, they would use to do something ephemeral instead of investing it on something that would make them a little richer.

If I were a beggar living in the streets, I would make sure to turn my place into the cleanest beggar-corner in the whole neighborhood.

Also, the man could certainly wear pants, a work shirt, and a belt. It's not expensive. It can be the shittiest ones. It can even be old and have wholes in it, but at least it would show that he respects himself and those who surround him, by trying to make himself as presentable as his means can afford.

Have you ever tried going into a poor ghetto-like comunity and teach them to keep trash organized + teaching them bathroom filth is hideous for your health? That, my friend, is not an easy task. Some times they listen, do it, then when you walk away they just magically forget everything. Luckily the government has some programs to improve these areas, without it I can't even imagine how life for these poor souls would be.

The girl in the picture has a bicycle.

The point is: those people aren't really poor by historical standards. They should know it, and they should live in dignity.

St. Jerome lived in a cave with his books, but lived in dignity. I bet he didn't throw any trash in front of the entrance to his cave.

But then again, you're Brazilian, so I don't think this talk of dignity will ever make any sense to you.

But that was pre-industrialisation. Back then you didn't have as much disposable plastic crap to throw in your garden

My house is fairly big but we're still poorfags.

It's a matter of perspective.

I have lots of poor family members, their houses are not so bad. Very plain and sometimes they can be hoarders but no trash etc.

My poorest family member was my auntie who could not work, she was too sick. She had no money and the government messed up her food stamps too so she was getting not even enough to eat, we always had to bring her food or take her to the food pantry where they hand out the half-stale stuff supermarkets would throw away. Her home was always clean enough. She give her bed to her divorced NEET brother too and slept on the floor and split her tiny food with him.

He still wouldn't have done it.

Keeping one's surroundings clean is one of the main things that differentiates the man from the maggot.

There are three.

My mother's boyfriend's neice married a Mohegan and what you described is literally their and their kids life but they all have jobs as well.

It makes me feel like this world has to die when I see people bitching about an almost-nothing welfare state. Imagine someone in this sort of situation having to pay for a 500USD month grocery bill, 50 for internet and ~300 for health insurance, which is merely the basic you need to survive?

Hope your auntie situation gets better my brother. Feeling with you.

Preindustrial societies didn't have garbage disposal systems.

Shit was filthy.

Being poor is a matter of perspective.

I myself think that I would much rather have a big house in a very small city, with little electricity (only the computer and the washing machine, to be honest) than live in a rich apartment in a big, grey, souless modernist metropolis while owning a ferrari.

As of now, I have no refrigerator and I am doing just fine. Mine broke one month ago, and I simply couldn't bother to call the repairman, because I don't actually need a bloody refrigerator. I can drink room temperature water, just like my ancestors did. I only miss the fact that I cannot conserve cheese and ice cream anymore, but that makes it harder for me to get fat, so in the end it's actually a good thing.

My parents also own a big house - more than 100 meters from the backyard to the gates.

>Back then you didn't have as much disposable plastic crap to throw in your garden
We know a lot about the essentially stone age Native Americans here because they pretty much left trash pits all over the place. If a weapon, tool, pot, basket, etc. broke they'd just chuck it in the nearby pile that they also chucked food and butcher waste into.

>i don't need a refrigerator

How do you conserve your meat?

I know. It was one of the reasons why they had so many diseases. Rats love filth.

In the Medieval times, it was absolutely terrible. People threw their excrements into the streets so that the garbage collector would take it and use it as fertilizer. The streets were very narrow. Houses were too small for the families, and people often lived in the same room, and even slept at the same bed. They rarely showered.

But then again, Medieval times were nothing like what the people in OP's picture are experiencing. At least Medieval men and women had the excuse of living in a society where barbarianism had triumphed over civilization.

Romans were very keen on baths.

>this active discussion literally about filth
how come Sup Forums never has threads about something nice and beautiful. you autists always want to compare and argue about whose shit smells worse. slums, niggers, poverty, no healthcare, poor education, cardboard house, and my favorite
>when did you last shower
threads.

You don't have to eat meat. That said there are ways of preserving meat like jerky etc.

The Italian part. Kek
But it's still pretty comfy

Even during Roman days, the actual streets were filthy.

There were literally stepping stones in Roman cities so that pedestrians could cross roads without stepping on all the raw sewage that was in the roads.

I don't. I don't know how to cook, so I don't need meat. Even if I knew, I am pyrophobic, so I wouldn't do it. I always go out for eating. Usually, McDonald's and such things. It's not necessarily bad for one's health. I also drink lots of water, milk, and eat cereals and bread.

People are usually too enclosed within the contemporary style of life. The truth is that we could do away with at least half of the 'essential' items.

Seems retarded have to give yourself all this work because you don't feel the need of a refrigerator.

I mean there is no reason to not to.

You mean these? I've seen them many times in photos of Roman ruins but never realised what they were for

nice try
this is german switzerland
complete poverty
youtube.com/watch?v=OtO0ENmMiZk

awww, what happened to the teepee's and living off the land, mr. native?
You no needem white mans money.

The streets actually flushed like a giant toilet.

Water from the aqueducts would flood the street and wash away all of the sewage.

So yeah, you needed the stones to not be ankle deep in a giant shitter.

I didn't know that.

But then again, was it not usually among the poorer classes? I don't think Augustus threw the rests of his food into the street, though I might be wrong.

Even if pre-industrialized societies were filthy, however, that still doesn't justify living in filth in the 21st century. Hygiene has been discovered already. Everyone should use it, including poor people. It makes you more dignified.

Brazilian meat is bad from the get go, why would you want to conserve it?

God damn... I live in an area with a massive Portuguese immigrant/diaspora population and hear Portuguese spoken literally every single day, and this sounds like Russian rap when I close my eyes. Looks like gypsies when I open them, too.

shameful:
youtube.com/watch?v=qr_PoztDrRw

You don't even know how to cook and depend on other people making your food (that, by the way, is refrigerated), you have some nerve giving life advices.
Also eating fast food IS bad for one's health.

I agree.

You have to understand, in a place as rich as the US, poverty is a culture, not a material condition.

Indian reservations like Pine Ridge are a mess because alcoholism has basically destroyed the family unit, the local governments are inept, none of the really successful people want to live on the reservation.

Pine Ridge, specifically, was so corrupt that in the 70s it had a literal civil war that killed 30 people.

The federal government legally can't intervene to remove corrupt local officials because the treaties that established the reservations gave the natives the right to self governance within the rez.

So you have schools that are shit, local communities that are drunk all of the time, and parents who don't raise their kids.

The people in this picture are probably raging alcoholics, were probably raised by raging alcoholics, and never even interact with people who aren't in the same shitty condition as they are.

LOL
What's this video supposed to show?
A financially iliterate woman living beyong her means with 2 kids?
Her only real complaint is that she cant go on trips like her friends.
Can you really compare that to the housing in OP?

so looks better than the USA?

Chiapas is the poorest state and has te largest amount of indigenous in the country.
Is fine tho, chiapas is also one of the safest states in the country and the only thing indigenous tribes want is autonomy and have their human rights respected.
Most of their income comes from a form of internal market and they are very independent from the peso currency, some may take it as a joke but it's not that uncommon to practice banter in the less accesible towns.
some ignorant people may say that they are maintained by the government, but most of these places are highly neglected and perceive little to any form of social assistance

Sales just went back to normal, go figure.

How does one thing affect the other?

Fast food is not necessarily bad, my friend. It's food like any other. It all depends on how much of it you eat, and how much do you balance it with other things.

of course not but you posted some cool lugano waterfront pic as a proof that this is "the worst" in switzerland whereas things are not as good as you want us to believe. have you seen the second video? it is well said there that your poverty is hidden because people don't want to admit that they are poor. yet they clearly rely on gibs to survive.

They are imitating something like a 'neckbeard' accent. The song is about a bunch of rural guys who have sheeps for girlfriends. It's by a Portuguese comedy group (Gato Fedorento - very funny group, by the way. They are quite talented. Portugal has good comedians.)

Latino nations have so much more Native Americans than USA/Canada. Were the Spanish really that much more nice?

In school we learned the opposite, Spanish were the biggest assholes, French the least, British/Portugal in between. But yet....Latinos have ton of Natives and ours are < 1%

You're joking right?

You're fucking stupid

More or less the same, anyone can visit, becoming a resident is a different story

There's much worse

The Wounded Knee Incident wasn't just because Wilson was a faggot

this is why we allow police to indiscriminately kill people

yes swissinfo is joking
30% of retirees live below poverty line
can't even afford new clothes
never been on holiday for 30 years
only eat potatoes and pasta etc

Yes. Reservations do not have any border security. You are free to enter and exit at will. Reservation laws only apply to indians. If you break res law, you will be escorted to the border of their land by the police, but you are not subject to res law, only federal law.

So reservations are practicaly not part of the USA?

Nigger what Im saying was that the Italian part is the worst.
And it's still better than that of the US Obviously the 'poverty line' is way higher here.
Really makes you think.
Im sorry that and the pic triggers you.

No they are

Are you dumb?
This is very easy stuff to understand

They are part of USA. Federal laws trump (jej) any law that the Indians make however.
Indians can make whatever laws they like, but the feds call tell them to STFU.
Any law they make does not apply to white people, even on their territory. But they can still kick whites off their "land"

For example, I can carry a pistol anywhere in South Dakota. If I drive through Indian land and get pulled over by reservation police, they can not arrest me, but they can take my pistol and escort me to the border of their land

weird

Catholics orders were decentralized from the Vatican and each one of them evangelized in the way they thought it was the better.
Dominicos are among the most humanistic of the bunch, they went to educate the indigenous instead of keeping them indoctrinated, most of their temples served as hospitals and they fought hard in the colonial era to recognize indigenous human rights.
I recommend reading about Bartolomé de las Casas. Gold and silver made Europeans destroy the land and almost exterminate the people from here and catholicism tried their best to stop them.

just as how Hong Kong is part of China.

>triggered
are you serious. you seem to be triggered not me. i am just really sad after seeing those old poor ladies struggling to survive. i almost cried. could never imagine that in switzerland.

Considering how fucking easy it is to go in or near a reserve and fuck shit up and their police force can't do shit due to jurisdiction issues (is it a indian,fed or state?). It's hilarious he'd even say that.

How have the zapatistas and the cartels been getting along?

Julius Caesar is rich for his period dumb ape

People here are mentally kids more or less

I'd gladly live there.

Sham shui po here

>poverty is a culture
Shut the fuck up you stupid faggot. You're probably posting this from your mom's basement while she's upstairs contemplating suicide because of your dumb ass.

Would they give the pistol back at the border or keep it?

they don't, in EZLN grounds is strictly prohibited the smuggling of drugs, alcohol or wood.
they live deep in the jungle and I wouldn't know why any narco would use their rutes.

yeah i always forget that i may be talking to some 18-20 yo jesus

I was assuming

>Chiapas borders Guatemala
>the cartels want to smuggle drugs in from Guatemala
>EZLN doesn't want this
>???????
>action movie

Are you content with being a parasite who will accomplish nothing of value?

Not him but nobody accomplishes anything of value anyways so why bother

One of my favorite past-times is going to the Topix (gossip website for American towns/cities) of the poorest white town in America, Beattyville. It's a really interesting look at American white poverty and also very dramatic and entertaining. A lot of poor towns have similarly dramatic Topix forums.

That looks a lot better than the average non-urban American community. Pretty sad on our parts desu

Restaurant and fast food is packed with sodium my man. You're going to have heart problems, and you'll never find a girlfriend because that's an unattractive habit. Learn how to cook.

What's the cost of living like there? Still outrageous compared to the rest of the world, I'm sure.
