Date: April 12th, 2026 8:13 AM Author: Giant Naked Hitler (hitler did nothing wrong) The Spanish and Portuguese failed to undo ten thousand years of human evolution. Natives are a divergent species brought back into contact with civilization, their wild nature can't be tamed without intensive and selective outbreeding programs.

Date: April 12th, 2026 6:52 AM Author: Oneirine Reading everything in the Bolano library and it blows my mind how furking violent these people are--wtf is wrong with them.
I think it stems from the foundation.
US was founded by Christians seeking freedom. Latin America was founded on looting environmental reserves with no regard for creation of any society. |

Date: April 12th, 2026 8:16 AM Author: Giant Naked Hitler (hitler did nothing wrong) You're conveniently ignoring the pre-columbian history of the local population who flayed children alive then wore their skins like a mask in order to make sure the rain came. The rain came directly in proportion to the amount of the child's tears so they didn't make it quick either. Also the whole making huge racks of human skulls and eating still beating hearts of either POW or their own volunteers depending on the culture.

What will it take to get you to realize these are not ensouled humans we're talking about here. You're basically asking why dolphins or chimpanzees haven't harnessed electricity or forged steel yet. It's simply not in the nature of their species to be able to do these things. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5856259&forum_id=2...id..#49811988) |

But the violence seems to be of a totally different nature than the rudimentary brutality of the pygmies. How did it escalate to juntas and shooting squads and shit?

that is who these people are
South America just has a lot more of them and they have direct political control of their countries

Date: April 12th, 2026 8:49 AM Author: ,.,..,.,..,.,.,.,..,.,.,,..,..,.,,..,.,,. genetics are part of it, but not the whole story, since pure natives like the mayans are among the most peaceable populations in modern mexico, as opposed to the absolutely buckwild mestizo cartel guys.
you also have different genetic expressions in different regions; brazilian violence has a very pronounced and explicit sub-saharan element (kind of like jamaica or something) while mexico and central america do not aside from belize and the caribbean coast.
the aztecs were famously violent, but also socialized in the sense that their society could act in a unitary fashion. meaning that if certain forms or types of violence were disallowed by the chief, those behaviors would stop.
this is similar in character to groups like chechens, who actually have a fairly low crime rate in their region when they aren't explicitly at war.
the 'mestizaje' process seems to have removed the cultural capacity to 'down-regulate' characteristics such as violence. mestizos in mexico have always had a high background rate of violence. historical estimates of the mexican murder rate a century ago put it incredibly high, up around 60 or 70 per 100,000. that was pre-cartel; proto-cartel structures as we know them didn't really emerge until the 1970's.
mexico's murder rate reached its modern lows somewhere around 15 per 100K in the early-2000's, prior to the cartel wars which largely kicked off in 2006. the rate could presumably drop that low again if the cartels reach a more stable configuration and stop fighting for territory all the time.
going lower than that would require the outright incarceration of somewhere between 3 and 5% of the male population, which would basically be the el salvador strategy. but mexico actually lacks basic state capacity over parts of its territory in places like guerrero or sinaloa in a way that el salvador never did. |

Date: April 12th, 2026 8:53 AM Author: Oneirine Thats kind of what I am alluding to--all the groups--pure Europeans, mestizos, and pygmies are all violent as furk. And I think it's because of the roots of the nations--Portugese and Spanish just looting the countries with no regards for forming coherent societies.
How is it that they are so much more violent than their host countries or prior civilisations? I can't even think of a country that runs as a democracy. |

Date: April 12th, 2026 8:57 AM Author: Big Clique Energy The crime you’re talking about was mostly caused by urbanization starting mid century or so. Mario Vargas Llosa wrote about this (as did many others). Those favelas and shantytowns outside every major LatAm city did not exist before massive population shifts of rural poor moving into cities. If you look at pics of Rio or Lima from the 1950s or so it looks like Europe.
It’s not to say those rural poor weren’t violent before but it was away from the cities so no one cared, plus it was not urban and organized.
Imagine if in North America we had 1000x as many Indians, they were never killed off, and around 1960 or so they all migrated to NYC, Chicago, etc. And since there were not enough jobs or housing they built permanent Hoovervilles in a ring around every downtown. Not enough work or welfare so they sell shit on the street everywhere, sell drugs, join gangs, etc. |

Date: April 12th, 2026 9:02 AM Author: Oneirine There were dictatorships/autocratic rule well predating that though. Doesn't seem like there were ever stable democracies and the methods of murdering, getting rid of opponents seem to be completely different to what was seen prior.
I feel like the shanytowns just exacerbated the situation. |
