Mexico in 1800's looked comfy. Basically the old west without the violence.
>>223986742Wasnt the countryside full of militias and bandits or was that later on
>>223986742bad bait
>>223986835every country had bandits back then, even Europe.
>>223986742>without the violence.Who's gonna tell him.
>>223986742That image is clearly from the 1900s.
Better back then than now
>>223986742>without the violence.i would bet it was a lot more fucking violent in the 1800s
>>223987278>>223988730they didn't have 2nd amendment like the US so people didn't own guns.
>>223986742>Basically the old west without the violence
>>223986742I agree. Always liked mexico. Have you seen El Mariachi/Desperado?
>>223989789I've always found that story of the yugoslavs importing mexican movies quite fun.How much of an influence did they have?
>>223986742Were Mexicans not allowed to own firearms or was that just in the Spanish Empire?
>>223989874they did have widespread gun ownership similar to the US as their constitution allowed it. OP is just being dumb.
>>223989869The movie came out in 1995 and it was an american production.>yugoslavDon‘t>mexican culture in croatiaWe have a few pretty successful mariachi bands and mexican food used to be pretty popular but it‘s been dead for about 15 years.https://youtu.be/i9TRSSy3Mh4
The period of greatest violence was between the 1850s and 1860s
>>223989991why did CIA do that?
>>223990262Funny enough the CIA didn't exist yet. Blame the Pinkertons if you want.
>>223986742It was extremely poor (like now) and extremely violent (like now). The only difference is that now we have phones and the internet
>>223990679>poorBro Mexico is ranked {{{{12}}}} in the world with a GDP of $2.2T. Shut. Up.
>>223989893How come changing their constitution didn't change how many people had guns
>>223990679It's always been interesting reading about Latino history told through the intrepid movements of armies and actions of single great men or women, focusing almost exclusively on the thin slice of lawyers and professionals who made up civilized society only to then travel to these places and realize how shitty they actually are in the big 26Makes you realize that basically all of Latino history is actually driven by individual village and town level squabbles among retards scrabbling in the dirt like the Buendías in Macondo but hundreds of thousands of times over (prolly with incest and all)
>>223986742what the fuck does this even mean
>>223990707During the 60s access to gun become way harder, to crack down on guerrillas that were upset at the PRI government for turning away from the revolution and its promises.
>>223986742>without the violence
>>223991120How did Mexico fall so flat on its face after Cardenas with the many-faced perfect dictatorship of the PRI and now one of its new faces under MORENAHow is mexico so fucked up that it's even remotely possible to be a right wing hipster that's still genuinely fighting for actual democracy compared to the status quo
>>223987239Very true.
>>223986742>1810: independence revolt begins>1836: texas chimps out>1838: french pastry war>1846: gringos fuck shit up>1847: caste war>1857: reform war>1861: french shitshow and occupation
>>223991210>Taco>Taco>Burrito >Chimichanga>Taco>Burrito>Taco
>>223991238yes but i've never had a chimichanga. i don't even know what they look like
>>223986742>Basically the old west without the violence.Uhhh
test
>>223986742> does he know?
>>223986742My great grandma's family lived in Chihuahua to practice polygamy. They left in 1912 because of Pancho Villa's chimpouts.
>>223991252You should start your own PMC to overthrow the other PMC's ruining mexico
>>223990426>Funny enough the CIA didn't exist yet.
>>223991324la CIA won't support me
>>223990731>Makes you realize that basically all of Latino history is actually driven by individual village and town level squabbles among retards scrabbling in the dirt like the Buendías in Macondo but hundreds of thousands of times over (prolly with incest and all)Isn't that most of pre-industrial history?
>>223991435Well yes, but Africans didn't write entire famous books deconstructing the great man myth about their own histories and exposing themselves to be shitholesWell they did, but Things Fall Apart is boring lwk
>>223990696Mexico has worse wealth inequality than zimbabwe bro
>>223987278>>223988730>>223989774>>223991136>>223991285The leaf is right btw
>>223991499This post gave me a fit of lolbertism.
>>223991558Cartel violence is unprecedented but that doesn't mean 19th century Mexico was stable.
>>223991558Our crime rate has dropped drastically
>>223991499the wage discrepancies in this country between the poor, the poor with post-grad professional degrees and the rich is hilarious
>>223991558>timeline only goes up until 1980I wonder why the infamously dictatorial PRI which monopolized the drug trade through government workers and shot anybody who tried to set up a competing shop in the 60s and 70s didn't have a lot of nonstate actor violenceNow go back to the Cristero War where as recently as the 20s Mexicans were having medieval religious revolts to protect the faith o algo. Before 1930 and ESPECIALLY before/during the Revolution, nonstate actors ran much of Mexico de factoAnd in any case, the Mexican drug war really only started when the DEA shut down the oceanic drug trade from Columbia to Miami and LA in the 90s after Escobar's death - thereby transforming the savvy businessmen of the Mexican cartels into true giants
>>223991856Cárdenas' ideals and principles were betrayed by Ávila Camacho and his successors
>>223992329>Cardenas' idealsdude, weed...
During the 1800s there was a national slave market. Thousands of honest hard working mexicans were sold to slavery, basically a genocide campaign, which would later cause the mexican revolution
>>223989488>Mexico did have a constitutional right to bear arms before the Mexican Revolution. This right was first explicitly guaranteed under Article 10 of the Constitution of 1857, which stated that every inhabitant had the right to keep and carry arms for their security and legitimate defense
