Amerika

Back in the 1980s, we heard a lot about Latin America. The people were so lovely and the food divine. White suburban women gushed over how diverse it was, and how the night life was good. The newscasters opined that the “Latin American way” would be the next big thing after Americanism. People flocked to Rio de Janeiro and other international cities.

Today, we are looking at a map of the 50 most violent cities in the world and seeing that 41 are in Latin America with 21 in Brazil alone.

It turns out that “diversity is our strength” is just a slogan and the media was cooking the stats about how the future was very bright and very Latin American. Instead, Latin America looks like a nightmare: bankrupt, disorganized, corrupt, violent and unstable.

The diversity that was praised back in the 1980s is the one thing that is not an illusion. These societies are diverse, with Caucasian, Asian and African populations thronging together and many mixed-race people. All of these 41 cities are quite diverse and none are not diverse. All of the 21 are highly diverse as your tour guide is sure to tell you if he survives long enough.

I can just see those 1980s travel agents leaning away from their flickering green CRT terminals and saying, “Latin America is really big this year. Most say it’s the future. And it has such vibrant diversity…”

Everything the Left says is a lie, doubly so when they use facts and figures, because they have always carefully left out anything that contradicts their thesis and massaged the rest into pure propaganda. Back in the 1980s, they were sure we would have all moved to Brazil by now.
