>tfw people only remember we exist when they want to criticize U.S. foreign policy, and they do so by completely denying our agency and only portraying us as unwitting puppets on American strings

Why is South America so irrelevant?

Look at a map of places on earth that the Spanish have governed.

Now ask yourself, "are any of these places well run?"

>they even got Florida

>Now ask yourself, "are any of these places well run?"

Yes, Chile.

It is even funnier when you find out that South America has the 9th biggest economy in the world and yet nobody gives a shit.

How much of that is dependent on cocaine and heroin?

No it fucking isn't

>South America has the 9th biggest economy in the world
Its a whole fucking continent, why is it even measured like that?

>only returned to constitutional government in 1990
>US has had it since 1776
>Britain has had it since 1689
>Netherlands since 1581

It's literally shit

He's talking about Brazil.

It's better to stay irrelevant and watch as the rest of the world burns.

>implying South America and Africa won't be the first to burn

>irrelevant
is that what you call to your local cocaine supplier?

To what end? Both are irrelevant and don't really hold a lot of strategic value.

>Germany since 1949

Your point being?

Easy to control you small child.

>A fuckton of natural resources with access to both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans
>No strategic value
riiiiiiiiiiiight

Exactly, because it's easy to control, why blow it up? Are you stupid?
During a war it's not that important. The importance of natural resources is undeniable though.

Actually, Chile returned to constitutional government in 1980, in 1990 it returned to democracy.

And the military dictatorship was an anomaly in Chilean history, unlike in other Latin American countries. From 1833 to 1925, and then from 1932 to 1973, Chile did have constitutional governments.

>implying there are more than 8 continents

I've been fantasizing about saving up $200k and moving to the rural parts of Chile or Argentina for a long time now for some reason.

>Constantly forget South America exists
>Growing up south america meant Texas, Alabama, Mississippi etc
>A majority of South Africa looks to be shitty barely hospitable shitholes
>"Muh native culture" seems to be mostly people wearing cheap polo shirts/football tops in shitty villages
>Government always seems corrupt or useless as shit
>Most famous people from South America are criminals like Pablo Escobar
>tfw even the most irrelevant european nations like Ireland or Ukraine have more global relevance than south america

kekked

Perhaps Brazil should then gets its act together and stop being a meme shithole filled with zeke mosquitoes, cheap whores and slums.

Why does chile exist as a distinct nation?

>a fucking coastline

I'd love to move to Argentina and live the comfy life.

Too many brownskins.

Someone needs to cuck Bolivia and Peru.
