  1. Damn, lady, you really get us. Thank you....

    Damn, lady, you really get us. Thank you. :thumb001:

    But yeah, Caesarism is part and parcel of our cultural idiosyncracies, and I'd say, this also runs true for the rest of the Latin world,...
  2. I occasionally indulge in some self-criticism...

    I occasionally indulge in some self-criticism about the limitations of strongman rule from the right. Regretably, the unseriousness of our liberal democracy makes it so that these occasions are few...
  3. I'm actually amazed at how them Colombos avoided...

    I'm actually amazed at how them Colombos avoided the captain general/caudillo craze of the rest of the region, although one could argue that this has come from the strenght and guild-like spirit of...
  4. Colombia's Gini coefficient seems to be worse...

    Colombia's Gini coefficient seems to be worse positioned than Peru's one, even, although I need to see the latest data, since the last one collected on each is of 2021.
  5. Did the story of Reinaldo Arenas (as detailed in...

    Did the story of Reinaldo Arenas (as detailed in the movie Before Night Falls) had something to do with that?

    Yeah, I think the term "Tropical Stalinism" would be an apt description for it.
  6. Yeah, but in spite that, the zeitgeist here is...

    Yeah, but in spite that, the zeitgeist here is that Cubans are the heroes of the region due to resisting the evil Yankee and stuff. Dont ask me to attempt explaining this contradiction, cuz even I...
  7. Exact split regarding the first one, unanimous...

    Exact split regarding the first one, unanimous condemnation regarding the second one.
  8. Yep, but this translated in the practice on their...

    Yep, but this translated in the practice on their doing repression on the West Indian seasonal workers on the sugar industry here, whose racial militancy was rather high (Marcus Garvey even attempted...

    7. She would be 8 without that disgusting ring on her nose.
  10. A combination of both, with a slight edge on...

    A combination of both, with a slight edge on emigration. This one has been our curse ever since the Crown decreed the destruction of the western towns to prevent the colonists from smuggling/trading...
  11. Not necessarily. What it tells you is that most...

    Not necessarily. What it tells you is that most mixing happened during and post-independence. But Canarian presence here at those numbers was a real thing, dude. Otherwise the French and Haitians...
  12. Y en esas islas del Caribe inglés todavía las...

    Y en esas islas del Caribe inglés todavía las elites coloniales y la metrópolis ejercen influencia directa (aun en la republicana Barbados). Mientras que París solo puede esconder la cara tan pronto...
  13. Not Bolivia-Guate tier (criollos were 25% of the...

    Not Bolivia-Guate tier (criollos were 25% of the pop at the moment of the haitian occupation), but they were indeed poorer.
  14. The fact that, unlike most Latin American places,...

    The fact that, unlike most Latin American places, it began it's national existence with the gap between criollos and pardos not being as wider as in the heartlands of the viceroyalties (México, Perú,...
  15. If we played the racial deterministic game, then...

    If we played the racial deterministic game, then Chile's success vs Argentina wouldnt be able to be explained due to the above being more mestizo, and ergo, supposed to underperform in comparison.

  16. Dude, Hispaniola without that enctity and its...

    Dude, Hispaniola without that enctity and its demographic surplus would really be paradise, since Dominguan demographic density would not only be more in agreement with the island's size, but also...
  17. Without said immigrants weighing it down, the DR...

    Without said immigrants weighing it down, the DR would be neck by neck with said societies, because you Anglos always like to gloss over the fact that the human indicators done by the UN and other...
  18. I fantasize every day about the what if of Santa...

    I fantasize every day about the what if of Santa Maria del Puerto de la Verdadera Paz (the Spanish city that used to stand over what today is the nightmare called Port Au Prince). Verapaz, for short,...

    Both them and Ukes have been coming here to the Caribbean as well.
  22. How does the country compares vs. China?

    How does the country compares vs. China?
  23. They arent that terribly different between them,...

    They arent that terribly different between them, so as to who would fit best, I'd guess that would depend on who of us you'd ask. As far as I am concerned, it's a coin toss. If those are really their...

    They are Asian, but not Mongoloid. The problem that I see here is that for you Yanks, Asian = Mong and African = Sub-Saharan/Bantu/Congoid etc.
