Same population as Japan, yet Japans economy is 5 times bigger Same population as Russia, but still nobody gives a flying fuck about Mexico Neighboring USA, yet crappy economy, crappy salaries, more obese people per capita, bad at olympics and other sports
Even Turkey is better on every scale Why are they so crappy compared to countries with similar population If Russia and Turkey is second worldy whatvis Mexico?
Mexican stuff that is famous is famous because it's popular in the US, though

We are on the top 20 economies, at least that's something.

>mexico doesnt have a nuclear program >mexico has more internal problems that it has to deal with before trying to become a top 10 nation >its inhabited by mexicans and they ruined mexico
probably a mix of these. But mostly the last one.

Mexico's biggest problem is that its culture encourages mediocrity and doesn't demand excellence.
Everything there is half-assed and "good enough"
Easton Ward
Because they’re lazy as fuck and blame everything bad on anyone else (usually us)
Xavier Cooper
Because they foolishly followed the 'import substitution' economic development pattern
They could have been the China of the Americas but pissed it away.
Cameron Brooks
Thats literally American culture, what the fuck are you talking about? Nothing in Mexican culture encourages mediocrity.
Colton King
unironically would like to live in Mexico but I'm too scared i'm white but I look spanish-ish. It all started when I watched the Natalia Lafourcade mini-desk concert and I fell into a rabbit hole of Mexican media/art/novels. I know the country isn't all like that but I really can't stop thinking about it. I actually haven't stopped thinking about it since November.
Carter Turner
actually this not true, mexico is the country with the most working time

Have you ever go to a rekt thread? Have you ever seen how the cartels torture, shoot, decapitate and rip the hearts out of people? Mexican are fucking subhumans, that is why they can't be fucking relevant.

They tried but China entered the WTO in the early 2000s and then the recession happened and now Trump is in office.
Mexico's only advantage over China is its proximity to the U.S. However, China's economic growth isn't entirely due to U.S. consumption, but exports towards many countries around the world, especially their neighbors.

because they will never not be compared to the USA, ever since we became neighbors
in any other continent they would be great(er), but they will not match us in my lifetime
also they arnt top 5 great countryes, but they are definently top 15 in most ways, out of almost 200 recognized nations not too shabby
New Spain was a failure that couldn't even defend itself against Comanches. It's not like Mexico had any capability of using the land we took from them.
Hell Mexico is one of the most pathetic Latin American countries because it actually -lost- a war to the injuns

AMLO is the last hope this country has.
The other options are a corrupt PRI puppet like the current president, and some soyboy who is corrupt and laundered money.
He has been trying to win since 2006 but has been robbed twice already. He might not be perfect, but he's the best option.

>cartels can go head to head with the current military No, they can't. They always run away from them and our soldiers often get orders of not chase them even if they can easily win, or to release them after they're captured. >because they are also military trained No, they aren't. Most of those narcos are already dead. >Desert landscape Memes, that was my image of all the US but it wasn't true neither.
You and I are not so different. Did you know that?
Caleb Cooper
See, the problem here is that ignorant people here on Jow Forums and Jow Forums in general have never been to Mexico. They just get their news about it whenever some cartel kills rival gang members or some shit happens. They actually think that Mexico is some kind of warzone or some subhuman shithole like Somalia, Syria or Congo, whatever the fuck. It's not.
It's pretty much like any dumbass who thinks the US is filled with niggers who shoot random people, and that school shootings happen every day.
They only hear about the bad side of Mexico because that's always what the news cover. The cartels, drug trafficking etc. Always blown out of proportion.
Generalizing an entire country is incredibly retarded. Yeah, Guerrero might be a hellhole with high crime, but at the same time, Yucatan is one of the safest states in Mexico with an extremely low crime rate. It's like comparing the shithole that is Louisiana to places like Maine or New Hampshire. There's a reason why Brazilians always talk about how shit northern Brazil is and how the South is better.
doesn't help that our most important cities' mayors refuse to cooperate with ICE to deport illegal immigrants because those mayors know that half their businesses wouldn't survive without latino slave labor
this fucking country is a disaster in 3 areas: immigration, education, and medicine. I have backup plans to move to the EU but the fallout might be inescapable; if the USA collapses into favelas full of chimps, it's still a country with like 6000 nukes. Imagine a country like North Korea but with 300-400 million people and far more nukes.
no hope, no future, pack it in

>moving to the EU to avoid immigration problems and warfare UMMMM
Because NAFTA their economy effectively depends on the US like Canada does. They are trapped to being second or 3rd banana to the US and this will never change unless the US decides to implode
Caleb Murphy
>unless the US decides to implode All part of the plan kiddo
He's probably never visited Mexico and Jow Forums is his only source, lmao
Zachary Collins
>it's mostly scrubland mostly yes, but you're forgetting that the Yucatan is like full on jungle. and it's not insignificant either since one of the most important injun civilizations was based there (the Maya)
interestingly enough there's more political willpower in the EU to fix that problem compared to the USA. Trump got elected and there is no wall, plus he's even considering legitimizing DACA. Meanwhile a few key elections were lost by hairs in Europe (Le Pen) and parties like AFD are growing. The USA doesn't have organized youth groups like Identity Evropa, we have elderly fucks who vote for charlatans like Trump. This is the difference between future-forward and looking backwards. According to Eurostat the total number of refugee applications across the past decade number 5 million, which is the absolute ceiling since that includes rejected applications. So that's 5 million for a population of something like 500 million natives. In the USA we have 11-15 million illegal sudacas with a native population of 315 million, which is a far worse ratio.
Given the two circumstances I think the USA has a more of a negative outlook. Neither are good, of course, but it's like the difference between having a fatal accident vs. breaking a rib
Do you seriously think that Russian propaganda influences the minds of Americans?

This is the time, he'll finally win. Putin will make him win just as he did with Trunks.
>what is proportional landmass? see none of my relatives live anywhere fancy
Also now that i remember, and to get back on topic, Mexico doesn't really excel in anything because of that damn saying "Pobres pero honrados", means "Poor but honorable". Fucking gtfo jail free card that keeps you from achieving anything besides just providing for your family and getting by. To this day my dad barely knows enough english to 'defend' himself and it's not even that, fucking complacency is keeping those damn beaners down and i'm glad i was born here in the US. It may not be perfect but it's a hell of a lot better than Mexico.
