Revolution by the peasants instead of the bureaucrats.

Siesta

That's why Spain never thrived.

>Spain
>never thrived
American education, everyone

land distribution in the hands of a few, a semi-fuedal system, instead of like in the US where most people had some land

Same reason for all Latin American countries. Exploitation and corruption by the upper class. It's how Rome fell and none of them learned their lesson. The Anglo nations merely got better at hiding it.

it's full of spics

It's full of illiterate indians

t.Che

not white

the reason all other latin american countries aren't first world is because they aren't white.

Pretty much.

Spain's been a rotting corpse for 400 years.

Mexico is just a funnel for drugs into America

If Americans didn't want coke and other drugs so bad, Mexico would have a fraction of the crime and corruption that it has.

Crime and corruption is why Mexico is still garbage.

Thrived after being conquered by Arabs who modernized their country. Then, they got a treasury boost by fighting and fucking south America to death for their gold. Then they spent a shit load of it to build a huge navy, which was destroyed pretty easily by the English.

Lol @ Spain. The lottery winners who lost it all and have to live in a trailer park.

Lol don't make a cultural issue a racial one, tumblrina. Brazil's corruption is a systemic problem from within.

This is the most relevant factor, Mexico is all that stands between the CIA and their drugs.

Not to mention that Mexico has always been involved in internal wars and conflicts.

At least things are starting to slowly pick up.

Where do all the white people live in Mexico?

Because Mexicans are parasites that would rather move to the US than improve their own country.

If you guys are such bro-tier hard working Catholics, why not work hard to make your country great.

>implying white parts of brazil arent way better
>implying argentina and uruguay arent better than the rest of brazil
just look at the whitest vs the blackest region of brazil

>white people
>mexico
lmao

In closed communities whose only way to keep intruders out is to have big walls built around it.

Hmmmm wonder why it sounds so familiar...

their entire 19th century was full of revolution after revolution.

>oil exporter trap. when the price falls, everything goes to shit.
>drug cartels set up to replace the colombians.

Because brown people can't into civilization. It's too bad the Spanish didn't kill off 99.9% of the natives in Central/South America like we did in North America. Instead they raped them all and gave us beaners.

That's like saying Brazilians don't have whites. Just because you're ridden with favelas with negros doesn't mean you don't have Giselle Bundchen.

In the fancier parts of cities and the highest socio-economical levels. Mayority of country is mestizos of different levels of brown and another good chunk people with actual Indian blood.

>grow up middle class in a pretty part of a main city
>everyone is white looking except for public transportation drivers and trash collection
>get poor(er) at teen years and move to smaller state
>just about everyone is heavily mestizo looking everywhere

Because of their societal structure.
English colonies in the Americas focused on building the same armed literate craftsman yeomanry that made England great. They started with a strong stabilizing middle class or what could become one.
Spanish possessions in the New World were totally overwhelmed by the numbers and difference they presumed to control, so they hastily imposed a racial caste system. They never had anything like a middle class and do not today.

the spanish did kill most of the natives in central, south and north america.

the difference, is that Anglos colonized and settled the new world. while the spanish just converted and fucked the surviving natives.

>The current Constitution of 1917 is the first such document in the world to set out social rights, serving as a model for the Weimar Constitution of 1919 and the Russian Constitution of 1918.[1][2][3][4

THE WEIMAR CONSTITUTION AND THE RUSSIAN CONSTITUTION OF 1918

THANK YOU MEXICAN INTELLECTUALS

shitty geography ,building infrastructure is more expensive,logistics are horrible and they also have most cities inland instead of coastal areas.

70 years of socialism wont die off quickly.The whole government structure is paternalist,unions control voters and its going to take lots more reforms to fix it up maybe even a hole new constitution.

You are aware communists were working with mexican revolutionaries in the 1910s, right???

Mexico was an embarrassment of natural riches.

>oil
>year round farming
>tropical farming
>valuable metal deposits all over the place.
>coasts on both major oceans.

Yeah and your multiple attempts to destabilize those countries through military coups, political assassinations has nothing to do with it.

1913 : Mexico, coup of Huerta supported by the US
1936 : Nicaragua
1945 : Argentine, Perón supported by the US
1954 : Guatemala
1950 : Costa Rica, Figueres had connections with the CIA
1961 : Dominican Republic, you almost have your finger on the trigger
1964 : USA support Castello Branco
1973 : Chile, murder of Allende and support of Pinochet

I forget a lot. But when you realised that this part of the continent was the playground of the US, you are not suprised of their current conditions.

...

Lol you never tried to deal with those people.

Maybe you should chill

Even the poorest of the 50 states has a higher GDP per capita than Spain. Even Puerto Rico's GDP per capita is on par with Spain. Spain, along with Argentina, have become shitholes in the past 50 years.

anything after ww2, was because the communists were doing the same damn thing.

Mostly the north.

Low iq shitskins and retarded commies. We don't have substantial she's movements but they're growing thanks to Western culture

>substantial she's movements
what?
Also, fuck leftist scum in Mexico, all they can do is meme bitch about muh evil president, but we would be 10x times worse with peje and his venezuelan comrades

This shit is par for the course for a world power. England was doing the same stuff before us. When you're a mountain jew you can hide away with your shekels and ignore the world, but the rest of us have to use our influence to maintain prosperity.

>mfw Oaxaca and Chiapas are literally african tier states

Why aren't most shitskin countries first world, you ask?
>Really makes you thinky thunky

they have a chronic low iq problem like nigger africa, this is also the reason they should not be welcome here.

>having the worst neighbors in the human history
yeah, this is accurate

>other people country think we are lazy
>most worked hours per country in the world

1) They banked too hard on drunken americans at their beaches/bordertowns, and sold their land to Americans on the cheap, instead of investing themselves
2) Their zoning laws are god damn useless, you can (And i have) seen mansions right next door to a used car lot, which is by an Oxxo, which is also by a dump site for construction. 0 incentive to build nice, upscale buildings unless you own the entire area, or are okay with a taqueria being right next door
3) They keep fucking selling swathes of land to China/Korea/Japan. Monterrey has maybe 900 Koreans in their city now, and they run maybe 1/2 of the new tech rolling in

Sjw*. Fucking autocorrector

Also yes. Their constant Peña bashing is tiresome. We need a Pinochet ASAP. Like that song a based Sup Forums user composed

Because their entire GDP goes towards Carlos Slim's bank account.

I was maybe a little rude but I don't care. You had to do what you had to do. It was war and I know that you cannot be a great country without some blood in the foundations.
But you can't deny that the connections between these countries and yours have more to do with their inabilaties to reform themselves than an old-fashioned view about the North vs the South.

Damn, the SJW shit is spreading really fast, a couple of months ago I was hearing this retard bitch claiming misandry isnt real because women dont hold positions of power, literally tumblr shit, it shocked me. But yesterday's "family" march gave me a little hope, the fags and fag supporters could only cry because the rallies got a ton of people

Mty fag here. Very accurate, koreans are cucking regios to the point of no return though they had it coming for electing a literal horsefucker as a governor. Current household I live in is nice but its surrounding areas are shit thanks to a retarded street planning and retarded people, something that is inherent to the regio

>having the worst neighbors in the human history
If you dumbfuck beaners would've listened to us in the 20th century you could be South Korea or Japan-tier by now. But nooo, you all had to be edgy faggots.

>m-muh revolucion!!!

The simple answer is we don't want it to become a first world country.

The USA doesn't want many other countries at all to have first world status. Their gain is our loss.

This is why Brazil has been, and always will be a shithole.

Mex bros which part is the best to live for college educated us citizen?

You mean Texas?

>What shall we call our most important city?
>I know, Mexico City!
Why do shit tier countries do this?

>Exploitation and corruption by the upper class. It's how Rome fell and none of them learned their lesson.
It was Christians, not anything more than that.

1. They're brown shitskins
2. NAFTA

Yeah the family protest is where I'm coming from when i raised my point, I saw lots but LOTS of sjw garbage in my feed. Sure gays for the most part are harmless and based as they suppress their feelings and break through by hard work and prosperity. The rest of these degenerates however do not and inflict even more safe space mentality

I genuinely believe we need another '68 happening.

I don't think it had as much to do with that as with the Beaners getting swept up in Marxist tendencies. We haven't gone out of our way to fuck South/Central America over for no good reason or anything. They attempted to align themselves with the Soviets and then act shocked when we take out the ring leaders. It sucks, but that's geopolitics for ya. It can't solely be blamed on that though. It takes awhile to recover but Eastern Germany, Czech Republic etc. were in much worse positions and have come a long way since the fall of the USSR.

This bait is an old bait

Why the fuck are the only places in MTY by hotel safi and the mountain sides by the newer homes compadre? Hard as fuck to impress a german frau about "muh heritage" when even im cringing at everything inbetween?

>Being neighbour of biggest economy on earth bad for economy

Lolwut

Anyways mexico has had all the oppertunity in the world and mostly has themselves to blame for their problems and they know it. Canada managed to be beside the US, became a drug exporter to the US, and still didn't go going third world. Probably the only grievance I can think of that's legitimate is that the Americans took a ton of valuable land in the Mexican-American war.

Literally the only place other than GDL and Queretaro that can be called a city

I think it depends a lot on your tastes but you'll feel like home in san miguel de allende

Because a bunch of subhumans wanted gibsmedat, sacrificed more than a million with the promise of "democracy" and then reigned for more than 70 years.

They stumped cultural development so hard that we are still recovering.

Probably Guadalajara / CDMX / Cuernavaca / Aguascalientes if you are into mexican urban life without it being a low class mockup of US lifestyle (Monterrey and all the north cities)

The dark ages were caused by Rome's collapse and the power vacuum it created, and Christianity definitely did not destroy Rome. It was a long decline.

...

Well you know how you know that someone is going to do well in life because they say they "have a good head on their shoulders",... well...

biggest economy in central america
refuses to increase taxes or battle corruption
their human rights record is atrocious
they have a lot of work to do

>Probably the only grievance I can think of that's legitimate is that the Americans took a ton of valuable land in the Mexican-American war.
It wasn't even particularly valuable when we took it desu.

Like I said, shit planning and engineering despite regios bragging about muh stem culture. Monterrey was originally a shithole that had a weird transition. Instead of mowing down favelas they literally just build more houses an inch close to them. They threw shit at a wall and daw if it stick.

I hope that all the traitors that betrayed General Diaz are burning in hell, our only shot at becoming world power and we kill it.

>the rest of the world didn't exist during dark ages
kek stop posting that stupid image.

Anyway the dark ages are caused by the barbarians destroying roman empire. If anything the church was the only cultural institution left.

I see an awful lot of leftist excuses and barely any mention of Mestizos' hereditary low IQ.

Thank you user!
Go down ol' Mexico way one time.
Between 1 and 3 in the afternoon its fucking lifeless. I live in Texas and every afternoon you see siesta at gas stations and under trees.
This is the reason they lost The Battle of San Jacinto.

>refuses to increase taxes
nigga we got taxes even for having a car, if anything, we are overtaxed to hell

Our taxes are high enough and are eerily correlated with our corruption. The CNDH is a leech that needs to be shut down.

>nigga we got taxes even for having a car,
So does everywhere desu.

>Mexico is corrupt
>Mexicans should pay more taxes

Lol wtf?

everything is so cheap in Mexico compared to USA
rent is half what it is on the US side, gas is way cheaper
the only things that are more expensive are internet and cell phone plans

and yeah your salaries are slave-wage-tier, I get it

city stickers just to park
annual registration
annual inspection

wonder how that all compares to mexico's taxes

Trust me Pedro if there is anybody in North America overtaxed to hell it's Canadians.

I laugh at you complaining about "car taxes". Meanwhile we have 12% sales tax, 45% top income rate, rediculous amounts of sin taxes that makes buying a bottle of liquor cost $24. Owning a car isn't cheap either when the average car insurance premium was over $1100. Oh, don't forget about those carbon taxes applied to your gas, regular gas taxes, PST, GST, that's 32.73 cents a liter or 119.5 cents a gallon.

There is a reason I'm a leaf and I know the name "Carlos Slim", his talent at bleeding Mexicans dry with his telecom monopolies are internationally renowned.

>implying it's America's fault that dirty greasers can't run a country
They've brought so much enlightenment to our country after all.

How in gods name was Mexico not the country that won the most from NAFTA?

we busted all of those unions
now illiterate hicks can't earn 80k a year in car factories
process of weeding out

Historically Mexico has undergone many internal conflicts. The country itself is rich, but lacks leadership and unity, corruption is their biggest concern today.
Economically, they are growing at a fast pace, but the wealth is not distributed fairly.

>the wealth is not distributed fairly
>Fairly
You lost m8?

Explain yourself.
No, I'm not a commie if that's what you imply.
Capitalism has brought many advances, thus it has its merits.

>shitty geography

haha no

I think it's kinda bullshit that street vendors can make more than doctors and lawyers
and working in journalism or law enforcement is gonna end in one of two ways: your imminent death or you getting hauled off to jail for helping the cartels

many folks in this thread and others have explained it before. The country is fucked because of the corruption and the mind set of the average mexican which can be summarized as follows: "hey yo, take a look at that boootttyy", let's watch football all day long n shiiieeeetttt, and my favorite one: we screw things up? HUURRR DURRR it is [enter person/group of people]'s fault, i ain't do shiieett, fuck off estúpido. Also, one can not point out the flaws of the culture because you'd be automatically called a fucking traitor (in the worst case scenario, you might get beaten up hard). Socialist bullshit is prevalent and people don't like the idea of us being responsable for the majority of things happening here (the drug issue is US fault though, they like that shit so much). Many have waken up to this reality without having to resort to socialism; unfortunately, there isn't someone out there that represent them because all we the options we have are fucking awful: on one hand we have the cancerous shit of PRI and PAN, being PRI the worst of the two, and on the other we have those fucking brainless assholes of PRD, and the most retarded party i've ever heared of down here: Morena, fucking commies that will do exactly as Maduro did.

Oh, almost forgot, especially for the white folks saying: "they hate us because we are white n shiiieet", the wetbacks and a good number of people here will hate you for having money, as simple as that, you could be a chink, nigger, white, mexican, mixed race people, but if you have money they will be envious of you (and a mex critizing the culture is another reaosn for the hate).

Its literally filled with Mexicans.

this

Mexico had all the things early colonial Americans had going for them in terms of the law, but a combination of the church, the Hapsburgs, facism, and socialists fucked it all up.

The Spanish colonialist race mixed with the indigenous population forming a low quality mongrel race who are not as productive as the white majority of north America.

Europeans forgot to bring women and had to fuck subhuman, shit-for-brains, indio womanlets. Anglos weren't as shortsighted.

>Did becoming America's neighbor stunt their focus?
Yes. It was America's fault again. It was the white peoples' fault again. It was because of the patriarchy. It was because of white privilege.
