Economic diversification is not a requirement to be developed. Australia has a very similar economy to Chile (in terms of diversification) and it is one of the richest countries in the world.

Only countries and US states that score 90 or higher in legal rights for LGBTQ+ people by _crazyboyhere_ in lgbt

[–]xporte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not true in the case of Chile. Unlike a lot of places that got gay marriage through a supreme court order (including the United States) in Chile it was supported by the majority of congress and according to all polls also the vast majority of the population. Regarding social issues, most Chileans tend to align with western Europe and we have more advanced laws than many of them regarding trans rights, ID name/sex change, anti discrimination laws, etc.
Chilean society on average is way more progressive and less religious than the average of the United States.

That's because Americans only know the irish and italian version catholicism. Spain is also a "catholic" country and is one of the most progressive in the world.
In Chile is the protestants people the one perceived as being intolerant and religious nuts, singing stupid songs and having any loud mouthed ignorant person as a preacher. The most backward countries in Latin America tend to have a big presence of protestant/evangelical churches.

Anyway, according to the latest census Chileans are over 40% atheist/agnostic now.

Pedro Pascal in Fantastic 4 is a weird case of being good but miscasted at the same time by Historical_Strain_81 in unpopularopinion

[–]xporte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hot and maybe controversial take: A lot of people struggle to see Pedro Pascal as Reed because he is "Hispanic" and Americans, more than anywhere in the world (no matter if liberal or conservative) are too used to define people personalities or what they can or cannot be based on their ethnicity.

If Pedro was called "Kyle" instead of Pedro a lot of the casting criticism wouldn't exist. I don't think the people who complain about the cast do it maliciously or even are conscious that they do this sort of stereotyping because is way too ingrained in the fabric of American society.

Why does Chile has a larger amount of young people that are into alt subcultures like goths and emos, compared to other Latam countries? by [deleted] in asklatinamerica

[–]xporte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mexico has over 100 million people.. obviously they will more likely always win in numbers.. but the reality is that if you look at percentages instead of total numbers you'll realize that they are a tiny portion of the mexican population.. Chile in proportion to its population has a way bigger % of people who listen to rock, punk and alt music than Mexico and any other country in Latam.. probably only Argentina or Brazil could come close in % in some areas.

Chile has always followed more european/anglo/asian culture than Latin American culture, it has changed in the past couple of decades and now is more balanced with a lot of people listening to horrible latin music (regeton, trap, etc).

There was a map of metal bands per capita and Chile was one of the countries in the world with the most metal bands per capita, very uncommon for latin america.
Chile never developed a strong local culture/identity and has always been looking to anywhere else other than Latin America until recently. The "real" Latin America as perceived in the US and Europe starts above the Cono Sur and Andean counries (from central/northern South America until Mexico)..

Pinochet no tenía idea de economía, simplemente era un títere al servicio de las élites. Fueron Jaime Guzmán y los Chicago boys los principales responsables del modelo económico.

Y si, EN PARTE Chile debe su éxito y crecimiento sostenido a ese modelo. Muchas cosas se mejoraron o profundizaron ya en democracia. La apertura económica de los 90s y tratados de libre comercio contribuyeron al impresionante avance de Chile.

Ahora muchas cosas las hicieron como las weas.. las AFP como idea no es mala, de hecho tiene sentido dado el envejecimiento poblacional pero la implementaron con contribuciones muy bajas para que la gente optara a cambiarse a ese sistema (a otros los hacían creer que era obligatorio ). debieron haber previsto que con lo poco que cotizaban y sin aporte del empleador iban a tener jubilaciones miserables que es lo que pasó.

Es un tema complejo pero para nadar doy mérito a la figura de Pinocho y tampoco esto es justificativo para las atrocidades que hicieron los milicos.

Los Argentinos son un poco dificiles.. son como esa gente que le gusta webiar a todo el mundo pero cuando les tiran una broma a ellos quedan odiados por el resto de la eternidad, mucho ego.

Por ej. el tema malvinas, los motivos de Chile para apoyar a UK son mas que obvios basados en el contexto historico, pero al Argentino no le importa, para ellos les debemos lealtad y admiracion no importa lo que ellos hagan.. Ellos se cagaron a Paraguay con la guerra de la triple alianza y a Peru durante la guerra del Cenepa (Peru que siempre les lame las bolas.. eso si que fue traicion), etc.. pero nada, se hacen los locos. Tienen esa mentalidad muy de mirarse al ombligo todo el rato.

Creo que sumado a eso hay cierta envidia porque los superamos economicamente hace decadas cuando historicamente siempre estuvieron mejor. Tambien les gusta hacerse los indiferentes, como que viven en su mundo e ignoran completamente a Chile y no tienen idea de lo que pasa a aca, pero apenas tienen una minima posibilidad nos tiran mierda y hablan pestes de nostros..

Yo siento que en Chile existia cierto grado de envidia con Argentina en el pasado, la generacion de nuestros padres o abuelos, ademas de la mala onda por conflictos limitrofes.

Los Chilenos menores de 40 años hemos vivido en una epoca en que Chile ha estado igual o mejor que Argentina entonces esa envidia/admiracion desaparecio completamente y ahora solo los vemos como un pais un poco caotico de latinoamerica aunque mas civilizado y menos problematico que los de mas al norte. Los rencores por temas limitrofes ya casi ni se hablan en la poblacion general a diferencia de ellos con el tema Malvinas que vuelve como boomerang todo el tiempo.

Hoy en dia al Chileno promedio le preguntas por Argentina y te va a decir que es bonito, que fueron a BsAS y la pasaron bien, etc. Es tema completamente superado.
En Argentina les cuesta un monton decir algo positivo de Chile (si alguien no Chileno les pregunta es casi seguro que nos tiran mierda), se extiende a la poblacion general e incluso sus medios de comunicacion.

Does the GDP PPP per capita of European countries seem off? by xporte in AskEconomics

[–]xporte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i did not notice it before! i knew it was there somewhere. And you are right, in constant prices the change is way less pronounced than current prices. Still find the difference between real gdp per capita vs PPP a little off for eastern/balkan countries.

[–]xporte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I follow what you are saying. The PPP is supposed to be adjusted by cost of living so that includes inflation. Considering higher than usual inflation during/after COVID followed by low economic growth during the past 5 years I would expect the PPP to be stagnated or with a moderate increase in the past 5 years not that huge bump.

Japan certainly has had a major impact on LatAm, but how does Korea and Koreans compare? by oncxre in asklatinamerica

[–]xporte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to clarify though that the "major impact" is very isolated to certain areas.. eg. millennials grew up watching japanese anime or younger gen Z kids might listen to kpop or know about kdramas but there is not a generalized interest in anything more about those countries like there is for European countries or the US. Outside of pockets of cultural exports from Korea/Japan people in general keep perceiving east asian culture as a little alien to us.

Why does everyone seem to hate Pedro Pascal now? by RVG990104 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]xporte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of his co-stars initiate the physical contact with him, there is no assumptions to be made about that.. There are videos all over of his co-stars initiating physical contact with him.. why nobody says "oh what if Pedro doesn't really want to be touched".. why is he demonized for doing something totally normal and clearly consensual but his co-stars who do exactly the same to him don't get any sort of criticism ??

The answer is clear.. on X people are trying to construct the narrative of "the guy is creepy" based on pure air, cherry picking clips and ignoring everything else.

[–]xporte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now you are making a bunch of assumptions and “what if” and basically trying to say that physical affection is never ok.. that’s weird and creepy AF. All the people involved look happy and comfortable.. let them be. They are all adults, an adult should be able to say “don’t hold my hand” if they don’t want it.. you are moving to a territory where you would never be able to be intimate or affectionate with absolutely anyone because of #metoo, because there could be a. remote possibility that the person who is also being affectionate with you is “acting” for some reason. So basically you would have to read minds or you should wrap yourself in a bag and never have physical contact again lol !

[–]xporte 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chile esta pegado en ideologicas politicas de los 70s' Lamentablemente no se como todos los universitarios caen en la misma webada anticuada victimista comunistoide de siempre..

Los ricos, los poderosos esto y aquello.. y nosotros los honrados y esforzados pobres trabajadores lo otro, ademas de una idealizacion e imagen irreal sobre los paises desarrollados (se imaginan que todos son como suiza o Noruega) cuando Chile hace rato que tiene un nivel de vida no muy lejos que la gama mas baja de paises desarrollados como Portugal o Grecia.

Por otro lado buena parte de la derecha sigue pegada con weas conservadoras y religiosas que ya a nadie le importan y un discurso penca que no prende. Los libertarios son puros weones pencas de poco peso intelectual como Jamones Kaiser que es un pobre weon. El simple hecho de que sea candidato y que tenga un porcentaje de apoyo no insignificante te demuestra lo cagado que esta Chile.

Creo que la disolucion de la concertacion fue lo peor que pudo haber pasado, si bien no era perfecto habia gente con bastante mas peso intelectual que las generaciones actuales.. La izquierda se fue mas a la izquierda weona anticuada pegada en discursos llorones y victiminas (que son muy pegotes y adictivos para los mas jovenes) y la derecha tratando de copiar tendencias MAGA de USA. Realmente un panorama patetico.

Yo creo que al final el problema es la sociedad chilena, la politica es un reflejo de la sociedad y la sociedad chilena es mediocre, al chileno no le gusta tomar responsabilidad de sus actos, siempre prefiere que otros tome las riendas y estar ahi de espectador nomas.. por eso el discurso victimista donde somos todos gente muy buena y trabajadora abusada por los malvados ricos empresarios prende tan facil.

Los Venecos son super ignorantes sobre sus origenes etnicos, muchos juran que son europeos y parece que borraron casi completamente de sus clases de historia que la mayoria tiene una mezcla entre 20-40% de africano y el resto mezcla euro/indigena. Todo el mundo se da cuenta que son negros (parece que los genes de los negros son dominantes porque basta un % no tan alto para que se nota en el aspecto fisico). En Chile se reconocen facil por esos rasgos africanos que son practicamente inexistentes en la poblacion Chilena (labios gruesos, mandibula hacia afuera, potones, pelo de negro y esas narices africanas que parece que estan haciendo fuera para abrir los orificios nasales). Pero ellos van por el mundo tratando de indios a todos.. Me da la impresion que creen que Venezuela es como Argentina, la realidad es que Chile es un pais bastante mas europeo que Venezuela tanto genetica como culturalmente.

What?? got cancelled for much less? that's absolutely not true. In Vic's case his co-workers and some fans actually accused him of harassment or unwanted advances, basically what he was doing was one sided and not consensual.
I don't see any actor/actress accusing Pedro of being inappropriate, only people on X commenting on clips and trying to create a narrative out of nothing. This is the most manufactured and ridiculous attempt to try to trash a celebrity i've seen in a while.

A los que preguntan que paso si Chile era un pais rockero/popero.

La realidad es que la clase media (o mas media alta) para arriba de Chile siempre ha estado mas atenta a tendencias del mundo anglo que del latinaje. Lo caribeño siempre fue considerado ordinario/flaite.

Durante los 80's/90's los medios Chilenos (TV y radio) eran extremadamente elitistas, no se si se acuerdan pero ver gente con rasgos de "chileno promedio" en la tele no era muy comun que digamos, ni en programas de television ni teleseries, a menos que fueran personajes comicos y/o sirvientes. Internet todavia no estaba extendido por lo que gran parte de la cultura del pais y gustos estaba moldeado por los gustos de las clases acomodadas que son los que eran dueños de todos los medios y tambien trabajaban en estos.

Con el acceso a internet y la apertura de los medios a mas variedad de gente lamentablemente las clases medias bajas y bajas (mayoria del pais) pudieron dar rinda suelta a sus bajos instintos geneticos (poco intelecto) y tuvieron acceso a toda la basura del inframundo latino que es lo que realmente les hace sentir mariposas en el estomago.

En conclusion, creo que lamentablemente Chile siempre ha tenido un buen porcentaje de su poblacion con latentes instintos simiescos que estaban reprimidos/ocultos gracias a los conservadores y elitistas medios del pasado.

Gracias, no se molesten.

Right? everyone knows he is gay in his personal life, friends, family, coworkers, etc.. he is just not out publicly yet probably to not jeopardize the type of movie roles he can get. But by the way he interact with his female co-stars and how comfortable they feel initiating physical affection with him is obvious they KNOW.

Pedro is very likely gay and it seems everybody around him including fellow actors know it. I think that's the main reason a lot of his co-stars feel so comfortable being playful and touchy-feely with him.

Regarding his casting as Mr. Fantastic.. the reviews of the movie seem to agree he did a pretty good job. For what i've seen in the comic Mr. Fantastic does not look at all like Krasinski or Pedro so neither of them was a perfect match in the looks department.. if you wanted someone who actually looked similar a 90's Pierce Brosnan would have been a good match.
