I think Chile is probably the third most European country in LatAm, behind Uruguay and Argentina? Isn't the average Chilean somewhere around 48-52% European?

Avena et al. (2012) (n = 441) states that Argentinians are now only averagely 65% European. I imagine that this percentage has trickled down further still over the past decade; firstly, because other non-European plus non-Hispanic immigrants (such as literal Africans, though I don't know of the exact nationalities) started appearing there no later than the early 1990s, and because the birth rate of the many Paraguayans and other less European immigrants from up north are higher.

As for the new constitution. It looks far worse than any constitution I've ever seen. The Western ones would be worse, but many of them are also very difficult to change without a clear legislative majority and so forth, preventing Left-liberals from simply replacing them with new documents.

That 50% women quotas are being shoved into a wide range of things at the beginning of the document tells me all I need to know. And, indeed, it's peppered with buzzwords like 'diversity' and 'discrimination' all the way through. It's not minimalistic like the U.S. Constitution, which leaves most things to the three branches of government, but is maximalistic. There's little ambiguity here: 'diversity', 'anti-discrimination' and so forth are going to be shoved down Chilean throats at full throttle.

This goes to show that not only White/European people are susceptible to this garbage. It's a highly contagious mental disease spreading globally. An unfolding process devouring everything in its path.

What exactly is the background of this document? To my understanding, in 2020, under the Right-leaning previous President, Pinera, Chileans overwhelmingly voted to change the 1980 'Pinochet Constitution'. However, it looks as though the Constitutional Convention, the body tasked with drafting the new constitution, is full of total morons (e.g. 'indigenous' activists, communists). Consequently, this draft is a bit too stupid for a slight majority of Chileans to accept according to the polls, which make it look as though it'll be at least 55% for 'Reject': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Chilean_national_plebiscite

I take it that after this vote we'll then see further polarization in Chile between the Far-Left and Left-liberal nutjobs who will feel like the rejection proves that Chile is 'fascist', etc. and the slight majority of people who aren't quite as Left-wing and who will only vote to replace the 1980 Constitution if the proposed replacement is less stupid?

As an aside, mind telling us more about the next Brazilian election?

What exactly is the background of this document?

Since the 1980s academia in most LATAM countries has been under near-totalitarian control by the far-left (which has also transitioned from third-worldist nationalism to woke and identitarian internationalism in recent years). 1970s dictatorships failed miserably in stemming the rising communist tide, they merely managed to delay the process by a few decades on the political front. Everything you read on that constitution is consensus among Latin American "intelligentsia". The only thing that has kept them from realizing their goals so far was the general conservatism of the population, which is changing b/c a lot more people are getting college-brainwashed these days.

Brazil has a more complex situation. It's a more conservative society than Hispanic America with a large evangelical sector. The rise of a lib-con mass movement in recent years (based around philosopher Olavo de Carvalho and Koch-funded libertarian groups) and the supremacy of Bolsonarismo on social media and on the streets have drowned the left and kept Brazil from drifting as far as the rest of LATAM in these last ~4 years. However, the economic situation has definitely strengthened the leftist opposition, and the intention to do the same thing that is being done in Chile clearly exists among Brazilian globalist elites, although I suspect that they won't be able to do much without risking serious social unrest, possibly a Civil War. Conservative sectors (ruralists, police forces and evangelicals) dominate Brazilian legislative politics, and they are increasingly radicalized in the face of the left's overreach.

The situation is further complicated by the division within the left itself. Lula is in essence a 1980s Marxist dinosaur with anti-Western leanings. However, the younger wing of his party is forcing him to partially pivot towards US-style progressivism. His presidential ticket however is different from what we're seeing in Chile or Colombia. It's less explicitly radical and a bit more 2000s-style. B/c PT is in a historically weak position they need to ally themselves with conservative sellouts to have a shot. The biggest problem for Brazil in my opinion isn't even Lula, but the far-left activist Supreme Court.

A bit unrelated of a side note, there is a close relationship between LATAM left and narcoterrorist gangs (the clearest example being FARC in Colombia, which has been legalized after a US-supported "peace deal" and is now a "progressive" political party with a permanent congressional quota - to say this is grotesque is a gross understatement).

Organized crime in Brazil has essentially been born of a symbiosis between far-left militants and petty criminals who lived together in prisons during the 1970s. That's why the largest and most deadly criminal syndicate in BR is called the "Red Command". Lula and the PT have close associations with murderous criminal factions. Communists viewed organized crime as a means to terrorize and destabilize the middle-class, conservative, implicitly White society. Leftists not only tolerate, but actively associate with and support, bloodthirsty criminals and murderers. As the US descends into third-world status, expect the same thing to happen there. Brazil had lower murder rates than the US until the 70s. Things can go downhill pretty fast when you let communists run loose. This is why they need to be quickly liquidated whenever they start to crop up.
