Why does Chile have so little cultural influence? It's a stable and (relatively) wealthy country with lots of varied geography. Shouldn't this be the California of South America?
Why does Chile have so little cultural influence...
Jacob Nelson
Hudson Perez
BROWN
REGGAETON
SHITHOLE
Liam Morales
They are more like the canada of south america
Jacob Walker
Pretty much, yeah
Nicholas Martinez
We always have been irrelevant, in the colonial times, even before that too, our natives were very primitives.
Anthony Wright
So where is their William Shatner, Mylène Farmer, and Celine Dion?
Andrew Wilson
>California of South America
you mean texas?
Angel Stewart
if they were bigger they would rule the continent
Sebastian Bennett
Akari!
Mason James
the average chilean has a very low self-esteem, no one looks pretty at chile because they always compare idolatran the quality of life in Europe or in the United States, but to be honest, the only problem with chile are the poor people and the poor north.
you just described a poorfag in chile
I live in California and hate the weather. Chile is much colder than this state.and another curious fact, usually in Chile no one eats beans or aji (chili)
>mustard is spicy in chile kek
Joseph Clark
their artists come to mexico to gain continental popularity
William Richardson
Yeah, the chilean market it's just too small.
Angel Clark
Why does Chile work so hard to keep out Peruvians and Bolivians if it could use more people?
Blake Sanders
We don't try to keep them out. We try to keep criminals and Haitians out
Brandon Lee
wena nido
Dominic Murphy
so true
Levi Allen
Who cares about cultural influence
Isaiah Jackson
we are only 18 million, no 3rd world country with that population can have real cultural influence
Gabriel Brown
They rule Mendoza and Cuyo region, check the awful 50% argie + 50% chilean accent

Josiah Campbell
They have a pretty good movie industry.

Tyler Scott
Hong Kong last century.
Jaxon Morris
No gibs tho
Matthew Mitchell
it wasnt really relevant until it got rich, and even then any relevance it had was due to being a colony (an english speaking one too, which is another bonus)
Gavin Mitchell
Says Fookin Who?
Jose Morris
California is the most populous American state so comparing it to Chile is stupid af. And varied geography doesn't mean anything.
Blake Wood
not 3rd world, having an important athlete is not cultural influence and they have the english-speaking bonus
Zachary Garcia
Ireland was a force even when it was poor.
Elijah Flores
literal who
probably only well known among english countries because he wrote in english
Caleb Butler
Most properly socially adjusted people.
Eli Brown
>Ireland was a force
Josiah Nguyen
That scene is from a film where America kicked you arrogant English asses.
Quit pissing on Ireland. Y'all are all Britannia.
Elijah Walker
What movie?
William Ramirez
wow based
also true
>mfw white american culture is shit
Liam Stewart
the patriot
Christopher Garcia
>no cultural influence
In terms of democracy, everyone here looks up to Chile
Matthew Jackson
wot?
Henry Reed
Well I listen to Violeta Parra and Victor Jara they are nice
Jeremiah Hill
They don't but in the subconscious mind everybody still remembers the War of the Pacific.
Julian Bell
Interesting for the democracy part, but culturally also? I;m just a bit confused because of this quote that I remember reading.
"El chileno racialmente quiere ser argentino y culturalmente peruano"
Could it be because of the Inca influence alongside other factors such as battling for pisco, the war, and the Huáscar?
William Gray
Noice
Justin Robinson
>battling for pisco
I'm tired of this meme, chilean pisco and peruvian pisco are two different things, they only share the name and almost no one cares about it
John Myers
But part of the battle is the naming rights, therefore people care!
Andrew Ross
People don't care, the ones that care are the producers
Nathan White
But the producers ARE people! Therefore people care! Or have you been hiding demigod alcohol producers from the rest of the world?
Justin Wood
Owen Foster
>producers ARE people
No, they are not
Zachary Reed
user, we're gonna need to talk to your demig- I mean "people"...It's in the public's best interests.
Isaiah Price
THEY'VE CONFIRMED IT. ALL MEN REPORT IN OPERATION DAEMONHOOD IS A GO.
Camden Diaz
>american education
That was 40 years ago mutt
Jackson Lopez
>El chileno quiere ser racialmente argentino y culturalmente peruano
Cringe, that’s something Peruvians say to feel better about themselves
Tyler Morris
your not doing a good job
t. attacked by a hatian's dog in Santiago
Carter Parker
Why would Haitians be going all the way down to Chile?
Jose Reed
It's from the author Isabel Allende. Born in Peru because her dad was a diplomat and lived there for only four years and has Chilean citizenship, and her pop was the cousin to Salvador Allende. I much prefer Gabriel's novels desu.
Isaac Evans
It's not from Isabel Allende, although she said that she agrees with the quote
William Jackson
People in Haiti promise them jobs and housing here in exchange for money, so the dumb haitians come and get nothing but abuse
Isaac Nelson
Fug, thanks for the info user. Could have sworn the quote was from an earlier period also but I can't find the person when I googled it. Maybe it's just one of those cringe sayings that goes around but what do I know.
Josiah Perry
The peruvian higher class always looked down on our higher class because it's seen like a bunch of farming plebs, and they have nobility amongst them. Besides, the peruvian higher class was historically better educated than ours
Henry Perry
How does one even end up with a country this shape?
It looks like Chile's sole purpose was to cuck Argentina and Bolivia out of coastline. It's hilarious.
Eli Anderson
>james joyce
>literal who
That other guy is retarded, but joyce was one of the most influential authors of his day (and all of modern literature desu).
Don't be as ignorant as Americans pls.
Cooper Lee
Not like there is an enormous mountain range or anything. Most countries borders are based on geographical landmarks, not just boxes drawn on a map like our states.
Colton Scott
Not him, but here he is not studied in school, probably in university if you study literature
Isaiah Stewart
en.wikipedia.org
The summary of it is this.
People died.
Peru was occupied
Chile got some clay
And a loss for Chile that you can't help but just feel sad for.
They lost the clay that connected them to the sea and for 100+ years to this day they have a Navy of around 5000 personnel trying to keep their naval traditions alive. Uruguay can access the sea through their river channels but Bolivia is the only landlocked country in the region that still waits and pines for their return to the sea It's like Ace Combat but with the sea.
Jason Ward
Angel Collins
We drew squares over the rockies dude. Anyone can do it.
Landon Perez
He isn't studied here outside of universities either. He's an authors author, but wildly influential and important.
Austin Gray
SHIT I MEANT LOSS FOR BOLIVIA.
Julian Jones
>Besides, the peruvian higher class was historically better educated than ours
Why?
Oliver Fisher
>Viceroyalty of Peru
Let that sink in and think about it, user.
Aiden Wright
I'll read into it. Now that I think about it, there's a pretty big gap in my knowledge of South America; I'm pretty sure I even know the history of some African and Central Asian countries more than it.
At any rate rock on Chile, you big ole strip of coastline!
Thomas Jackson
Our cultural influence is very small and limited to Latin America. Of course you Americans and Europeans have never heard of 31 minutos, Condorito, los Jaibas, etc., but somebody from, let's say, Mexico or Argentina, likely has.
Zachary Johnson
Condorito is pretty based
Carter Stewart
>Condorito
Is this the power of Chilean humor?
Brayden Jones
>They lost the clay that connected them to the sea and for 100+ years to this day they have a Navy of around 5000 personnel trying to keep their naval traditions alive
Feels
Jaxon Martin
Well, then we had Neruda and Gabriela Mistral in poetry, both nobel winners.
And if you like movies or bat-shit insane people, theres Jodorowsky.
Anthony Butler
No we don't. Argentinian or brazilian movie industry shits all over ours.
Brayden Morris
It is.
Isaiah Fisher
El derecho de vivir(not for those Trotskyists tho)
poeta Ho Chi Minh,
que golpea de Vietnam
a toda la humanidad.
Christopher Peterson
Mon Laferte is Chilean!
Cooper Ramirez
pero quiere ser mexicana
Joshua Lee
Argentinian yeah, but Brazil? not really
Natalia lafourcade is half Chilean.
How?
Lincoln Allen
stupid meme. it was the other way around, chile could've had a proper atlantic coast but argentina took it
Zachary Martin
Didn't know Condorito was Chilean. Nice to know
Juan Gonzalez
>argentina took it
You make it sound like your ancestors fought for it you little shit, backstabbing traitors
Zachary Ramirez
>You make it sound like your ancestors fought for it
no i didn't, retard. a treaty between our two countries was made, noone "fought" for the patagonia (which didn't belong to either country) until it was annexed
Jacob Cruz
Chile is pretty much the handbook manual for the "How to go from dictatorship to stable democracy without crumbling, stalling, or turning back"
Brody Lopez
I kind of overreacted to be honest
Cameron James
1. Most countries kept some resemblance with their pre-independence borders, and Chile was a Capitanía, with some degree of independence from the Vicerroys, occupying roughly what would become modern Chile
2. The biggest mountains in both the southern and western hemisphere are right between both of us.
Brandon Foster
Only cancerous content and media achieves permeation into other countries nowadays. The world has evolved to mostly consume easily digestible trash. The trash consuming majority has regional preferences and doesn't bother to consume anything outside of their preferred media provenance. Chile seems unable to tap into this flow of shit and stay relevant for some reason, and for their own good it should stay that way.
Reputation is what really matters and they have probably the best one in Latin America.
Aside from their atrocious colloquial Spanish and their boring normal accent (my opinion, nigger don't (You) me on this), it's a great country and people on all aspects.
Andrew Ross
Come down anytime you want friendo
Thomas Gray
I find difficult for us to have cultural influence, we are a young country and only recently people started saying we are "wealthy". Probably in a few decades, if things go well for us, we'll manage to have more influence, considering all the cultural achievements some musicians, actors and directors have made in the last years.
Jackson Foster
>Aside from their atrocious colloquial Spanish
>Puelto lican flag
Owen Lewis
Just torture some lefies, persecute dissidents and make a FUCKING TERRORIST ATTACK ON WASHINGTON
Then ya good to go
Joshua Jenkins
Just because Puerto Rican spanish is also bad doesn't mean that he is wrong
Michael Baker
>Chile
>irrelevant
Jeremiah Russell
Not saying bad or questionable shit didn't happen, just that society didn't have a 2 decades long stroke, identity crisis and crumbling institutions like we've had
David Cruz
damn she's gonna get BEAN'D down there, lucky bastards
Nolan Jenkins
fair enough, peace be upon you fellow svdconer
Angel Roberts
That was on 2018, so now she already gave birth to a spic baby
Mason Murphy
Unironically chilean humor is the best in all Latin America...
Even random guys on vydia are hilarious and cool.
Ryder Peterson
come on now
