>>509067103>Spaniards seem to think we should pay them tribute for speaking Spanish and worshiping Christ. Yeah, four hispanist freaks do that, which, by the way, are as abundant in latam as in Spain, because after 200 years you haven't managed to solve things and always resort to blame others and that has led many latin americans to rebel against mediocre brainwashing only to come across another mediocre mindset by which they need to be Spanish again to prospere. Muh Spaniards, muh yankees, like if rapid recovery wasn't possible, as many countries have proven throughout history.
>Most people in Latin America didn't even learned speak Spanish until after Independence.If the Spanish Empire had imposed Spanish, then the reason is that they wanted to erase their culture. If they hadn't impose Spanish, the reason is they wanted to keep them stupid so that they don't become a problem politically. The constant is complaining.
>Most Latinos would agree that they were pretty lousy imperialists.Latinos who can complain because we didn't erase them from existence, unlike the English did with native Americans. The same reason why we have to deal with Catalan and Basque independentism, because we didn't erase their institutions and languages like the French did.
It's not like I support empires, they are a huge problem which is doomed to collapse, and they are also unethical on a general basis.
