Yes, they are a inferior branch of humanity.


Happy now?

bad economy and receiving side of colonialism
the cold war didn't help with the funding and assassination if those countries were nordic they would produce dictators too

What >>>thisnigga said. Also, macho culture.

Americans backed dozens of coups all over the world to make sure they'd be pro-American. Remember, there's only a problem with dictators disregarding human rights if they're anti-American :^)

But Veeky Forums loves those dictators for some reason.

Veeky Forums loves autoritarism.
Is a way no to feel responsible.

Why is autoritarism so popular on Veeky Forums? It seems paradoxical to me.

Veeky Forums as a whole? Contrarianism.

An user as an individual? Edgyness.

Cause is a way not to feel responsible.

Anybody who does not suck off trump or putin gets shouted down with shitposts by you know who

>receiving side of colonialism

Spain got a dictator at the same time, you know.

because we are the lowest and most alienated of society and we dream of the day we can rise up and be the boot that stands on the necks of those that once stood on our necks.

Beta uprising nigga.

>Does Spanish culture have a propensity towards machismo autocrats?
It's Romance cultures in general.
Francoist Spain,
Salazar's Portugal
Italy (duh)
even Romania had its own fascists in power

France is the only exception desu.

Portugal too.

Responsible for what?

Caudillos. In our culture is almost natural.

Lack of any democracy in Spain when they were colonizing. Compare Spanish colonies to British colonies.

>all spic colonies are shitholes
>all brit colonies essentially members of the eternal anglo
>not one *relatively* shitty brit-colonized country (I'm talking about you, South Africa)

really makes you think

True that, Pakistan is a lighthouse of enlightment for the world.

In terms of government, I meant

The whole world produced dictators in the 20th century.

Only USA and it's puppet states that were under direct US control didn't because they're ruled by an oligarchy instead.

>implying USA didn't help dictators to power all over the world in their fight against communism

>Napoleon(both) DeGaule, The sun King...
French just got the cheat to have only god-tier dictator.

Bad parental issues
So we want a good authority figure

>only Latino country not to get completely overrun by Spanish untermenschen

>A heterogeneous society divided by ethnic castes.
>A culture with no history of democracy, common law, or liberties like anglos or once-upon-a-time, the other germanic cultures had.

The spanish empire was based around the economic power of the landed aristocracy, unlike anglo colonies that were based around commerce and maritime trade. When the latin american countries revolted, the independence was carried out by the same local aristocracy, leaded by local caudillos. This aristocracy later divided between liberals and conservatives, or basically those influenced by england and france and those who wanted to keep the privileges of the landed aristocracy. This translated into even more caudillismo and civil conflicts. The lack of a common exterior enemy kept the class conflicts between landed aristocracy, middle class and peasants as the main source of violence for the army to fight, which in turn created military caudillos during the XIX century, like Francisco Serrano López, Andrés de Santa Cruz and Manuel Bulnes. Later, this precedent influenced the political landscape during the Cold War, a century later.
Caudillismo also meant authoritarianism mingled with corruption, making criminals have relations with political figures, such as the case with Pinochet.
Basically, Spanish race values+machismo+political opportunism=caudillismo

>But Veeky Forums loves those dictators for some reason.
It's the cancerous meme culture.
>Be Bolivia
>Lose Sea
>Lose el Chaco
>Cry a lot at the UN

>what is India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Caribbean islands (muuh tax havens) or any of the former African colonies

It was either that or falling to socialism. Look at modern-day Venezuela to see what the entire Latin America would have become without those "dictators".

Fascism and Authoritarianism is a Latin man's game. When anyone else tried it they just went full retard (see Germany)

because everyone here is a 15 year old edgelord

i will hopefully leave this place before i get out of college

not gonna happen faglord

if anything you're gonna spend more time here after u never get the job and live as a NEET

The average 4channer is not a well-adjusted individual, socially speaking. Dictatorships are often linked with the military, and most men link the military with fraternity, if only subconsciously. When an user identifies with an authoritarian government, they are not so much idolizing oppression and it's the other negative aspects as they are fantasizing about the brotherhood and friendship they often lack in real life, though many would deny that.

My opinion is that, when comparing the revolutions against European rule in North and South America, in the North you had some amazing political philosophers and statesmen, while in the South you had a shortage of those guys but an abundance of skilled generals.

So, after he revolution was won, the US managed to hang together with a political system that endured, while in South America they couldn't do that -- and when the political system fragmented, the generals were there to run things; somebody had to.

That precedent of how to run a state being set in Latin America, it persisted, and supplied a large number of the military dictators you remark upon.

Ayy

Escapism

The numerous dictators and dictatorships in Latam can be explain without appeal to supposed cultural arguments. In example in the south cone the dictatorships were faceless autocractics and technocratics regimes.

In fist place the conservatives sectors of the society didn't take good the opening of rights to peasants that never had one.

In other hand, the big depression really punched bad the region and the concentrate sectors that called from a authoritarian response in order to preserve the social structure.

The cold war was another important cause of the coups too.

Because a lot of them were based
