Daily reminder that this is a bait thread because people think we will get mad at other people not calling us western for some reason.

The truth is we aren't western by the popular idea of what "western" means, but a lot of the countries in the area are pretty much more European (not talking about race or economics here) than anything else.

But yeah, all things considered we aren't obviously western if we use the popular definition of it.

Huntington was a hack

"Latin American. Includes Central America, South America (excluding Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana), Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico. May be considered a part of Western civilization. Many people of the Southern Cone and Mexico regard themselves as full members of the Western civilization."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clash_of_Civilizations

Basically this is just a rationalization of exclusively American views on civilizational boundaries matching their prejudices and geopolitical aspirations.

Western means descended from Greco-Roman culture which LATIN America certainly is, this means Western philosophy, the fine arts, science and history.

It's funny how this shithole of a board is so obsessed with roleplaying as their flags.

>>67673820
True, I couldn't contest that argument. However the sole reason I did not include Turkey, or Middle East in general is because of how SEA and SA are influenced much more by western colonialist values, rather than eastern and Islamic values.
>>
>>67673977

Issue is when Western science isn't called western fine arts, science and history. It's just called science, history etc. Western is the default.

Because the image of the group clashes with the definition.

Also it's super inclusive. Everyone adheres to "western" science because it's just called science. Just like how traditional medicine that works is just call medicine.

>>67674302
Every country in the world went under a process of "westernization", yes. Japan and China are westernized governments, technology, and with westernized lifestyles, same with pretty much everywhere. However, that doesn't mean they're culturally western. Latin America has enough actual cultural overlap with the west that they can claim that.
>>
>>67671076
Mestizo maligno is why
>>
"Western" is a buzzword at this point. The Cold War and Anglo bullshit has made the concept useless.

In the historical cultural meaning Latin America would classify as western since its language, religion and instiutions are based on western european ones, not to mention that racially the continent has the highest %of yuro blood outside of Europe and the Anglo colonies. There are some countries with substantial indigenous influence like Bolivia or Guatemala though, and it's hard to see them as western.

Even then, it would probably be best to qualify the region as a sub group within the Western World because it does share some traits that differentiate it from the rest, while not having enough differences to warrant its own "group" or "culture".

However, the modern meaning of "western" means being rich and politically aligned to the US, that's why some people claim Japan or Korea are western when they are as eastern as it gets.

>>67674233
It's generally implied as the term fine arts is specific and there's no such thing as non-Western science. Arguably your point stands for philosophy although history, as in it's critical view rather than just record, could go either way.

Yes, everyone who has adopted these has become "Westernized" but there'a a difference in between these elements being a part of ancestral culture, as it is in Latin America where the overwhelming majority of the population does hold some degree of European ancestry, and these having become widely adopted as in the case of Japan.

Nah, Guatemala is pretty much a Western nation, even indigenous culture today for non Spanish speakers is strongly influenced in not just religion but agricultural tecniques, animal husbandry, textiles, etc. The default mainstream culture of Guatemala isn't any more Amerindian than that of most South American nations. Bolivia and Peru could conceivably be different but I have so far not seen any evidence that would lead me to think so.

I agree, at this point it is very hard since European culture as become the standard worldwide.

What I would say to argue that Latin America is western while Africa and Asia aren't is that while Africa and Asia ADOPTED western ideas and customs, Latin America had them from the start. You could say something about the Aztecs and Incans but the Spanish brutally replaced their culture, and it was 500 years ago anyway, there is little of them at this point.

Not to mention that if you take race into account, Latin America is the only region in the world outside of Europe and the Anglo colonies where you will find substantial european population, pure and mixed.

No, Islam is traditionally the Eastern other, MENA was arguably once part of Westerndom (under the Roman empire) and arguably even Persia was a part of the same larger cultural complex as the Greeks but Muslim conquest changed things. Just look at Islamic attitudes today regarding philosophy, which while arguably influenced by the Greeks does not contemplate the advancements of the resnaissance, enlightenment and modernism, it does not share in the Western canon and has arguably contributed to it no more than the Far East.

As for Africa colonization was a rather different phenomenon there, leaving aside there was never such a widespread mixing of peoples Africans themselves do not view European culture as part of their own heritage eg despite the widespread use of Portuguese and French in the continent I've never heard of such a thing as a Latin Africa. There might be exceptions and some African peoples might substantially change their views on the issue but the point remains today Africans, even when they have adopted Christian religion and a European language, do not see Western culture as their own but as something foreign.

yeah this all pretty much sums up how I think about it.

western culture as we know of it only came into existence after islam. I'd almost call it two "halves" of roman civilization, the "old" and the "new", old being those traditionally civilized places like egypt, persia, mesopotamia, and new being europe. Europe became a thing of its own and became connected with christanity and developed into what we call "the west" now, and brought the americas under that cultural sphere through colonization.
Islamic civilization developed and became intertwined with non-europe rome (those "old" places) and I'd argue was rome's true spiritual successor up until the renaissance, when europe (the west) took that title and became culturally/scientifically the most relevant and dominant in the world. And thus we arrive to today. Who's gonna be the successor to the west? Fuck, perhaps latin america could take that title, who knows.

Here I go explaining the obvious: "West and East" is still about The Great Schism.

Western: Romance language, Catholic, former WRE.
Eastern: Greek or Slavic, Orthodox, former ERE.

By extension, you can claim former colonies of Western countries are Western too, and former colonies as Eastern countries (like Siberia) are Eastern too.

It has nothing to do with "life quality" or "economy". And specially not with race, since race doesn't always go alongside culture.
>>
Countries like Brazil are definitely Western. Bolivia is not because its culture is predominately Indian.

>>67675412
I agree, although I wouldn't see the Islamic world as heir to Rome but rather hellenized Asia and even then not Byzantine Anatolia, Islam came long before the Turks took Constantinople and had already developed it's distinct non Western identity. Islam killed the Middle East in terms of culture, it's "golden age" was basically just an appropiation of the advancements of other peoples (Persians, Nestorian Christians, Hebrews, Hindus) and this only lasted while those peoples were not fully asimilated and had not had their creative impulses beaten out of them in the rote repetition of the Quran. The Arabs, and later the Turks, eventually lost their vitality to theocracy.

Personal views aside I think we both agree they're the Eastern "other" that defined the West.

>>67675224
I think we both agree revival hardly means a separate civilizational identity, Evo did embrace Venezuela's "bolivarian" world view, which is esentially Latin.

>>67675717
The African countries were founded by europeans too. The diference is that those failed. Say what you will about Latin America, but our countries are not failed states where human groups are divided by frontiers that where not stablished by themself but by european colonizers.

>Say what you will about Latin America, but our countries are not failed states
Actually... we are.

>where human groups are divided by frontiers that where not stablished by themself but by european colonizers.
Actually... check the Amerindian populations, none coincide with the country borders.

The _difference_ is that the European colonizers managed to impose their culture here as the primary cultures, unlike in Africa where most folks still follow their native cultures.

(One can argue Liberia is Western.)

In all fairness we are very much what an heir to the Aztec empire should look like, our southernmost point, Soconusco, coincides with the southward limit of Aztec influence as roughly would be the case in the north east where the Huastecs did extend into modern day Tamaulipas. To the North East our country extends through the area of Uto Aztec peoples like the Yaqui and the Rarámuri, which being the dominant cultures in the sea of Cortés area makes our posession of the gulf of California a natural extension.

Well I meant that in Africa most people are native of Africa, and belong to african groups. This means that the states in Africa are not build to acomodate this groups but served instead the porpouses of distribute the land between the european nations.

In the other hand natives groups in Latinamerica are a minority and are mainly encloused in their enterity withing the states.

As for if latin american states are failed states the same why as african's, I would say no. Latin american institutions might not be eficient or even adecuate, but at least they work. Institutions in african goverments, in general, do not fuction nor they fulfill their tasks.

I assume you're crying because of the first affirmation, right?

No Latin American government is able to provide the population under its control what it should provide regarding life quality, basic services, security and stuff like that. Our States are as failed as the Cold War states - in some aspects more, in some less.

Of course: if it helps you to sleep better at night, you can simply pretend the above is not true and repeat "muh cunt-tree is wunderfull" like a mantra.

They are so corrupt and inefficient if they even work at all.

No offence, but Mexico coincides more with the native populations of inca doves than the human ones.

Also, check this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Mexico#Language_Tables

The three main Amerindian languages aren't even closely related, they're from three completely different families (Aztecan, Maya and Manguean). I wouldn't be surprised if those peoples considered themselves as different as Spaniards and Russians do so.

Pretty much every latin sees Trump and thinks:

I'd go as far and say the only country on the Americas going OK is Canada.

inb4 French Guiana is a shithole.

what's the orange ball flag in the last panel?

The Aztecs were an empire, it means hey ruled over different nationsand all three of those language groups were a part of larger Mesoamerican tradition, they all influenced each other and shared common traditions eg Mayan Kukulcan and Aztec Quetzalcoatl, as I mentioned modern Mexico coincides roughly with Aztec influence, where it didn't we lost the territory, this was the case in the South with the bulk of the Mayan heartland under the Capitania de Guatemala and in the north where the US did not take lands with what they considered too strong a Mexican pressence. Do keep in mind Nahuas did go along with the conquistadoires and expanded their own influence. Arguably the exception are the two peninsulas but since geographically they're natural extensions of the mainland they came under our posession.

they're western culturally but politically they're their own thing, they aren't part of the anglo/western euro bloc

Politics are ficle tho, for a time it seemed North America would exist as a politic/economic bloc. That's obviously not the case as of the last American election.

Well, I can speak for the rest of Latino America, but my country's corruption is Africa tier, not even kidding. Ironically that corruption is mostly done by europeans.

That post was way funnier than mine. Glad I did not get it. It would be a terrible failget anyway.

That's a pretty disingenuous thing to say because corruption like culture highly varies all over the world as wel las the cause of said corruption.

Well, of course is not the exact same thing, I was just being very vague, I admit. But there is a lot of parallels, like politicians faking their deaths to avoid prison, starting their very important government jobs as a low middle class person and ending their term with a 8 million dollars house, politicians stealing million of dollars that were supposed to go to the victims of natural disasters (like earthquakes), selling weapons to the organized crime, and a lot of other fucked up shit.

We have the same memes (in its original definition) as the developed contries of the western world. Just because it's disfunctional doesn't mean it's not part of it.

The fact that all of you are posting in this board, speaking in english and discussing the presidential elections of the USA means that we are all part of it. Don't try to be leftist hippies and deny it.

>memes (in the original definition)
I've often wanted to use meme in a non-meme way. It's a good concept that we have no proper word for except that word which we've turned into a meme.
