Came across this video on YouTube and was kinda shocked
Seeing a Brazilian guy speaking in a southern accent is hilarious, honestly didn't know this was a thing

I regularly watch "Xiaomanyc's" videos. Hilarious to watch him correspond with people in various languages. He's really good at learning new languages and speaking them.

Kinda like how a bunch of nazi soldiers moved to South America after WW2 and how the US also gave the scientists a chance to either work for us or be executed

Did not know this. Where was the camp located?

There are thousands of descendants of Confederados there.
Slavery wasn't abolished in Brazil until the late 1880s, so a hunk of un-Reconstructed southerners went to Brazil and took their slaves with them. Some estimates have as many as 20,000 making the trip.
There is an annual Festa Dos Confederados celebration each April in the town of Santa Bárbara d'Oeste where they dress in Confederate uniforms or antebellum dresses, wave Confederate flags, sing Dixie and Bonnie Blue Flag. And it doesn't offend people because well...

Did a lot of them settle in the town of West, Texas? The kolache capital of Texas. On second thought it might be more Polish descendants

Argentina.
I cant believe more people havent taken notice on how well they are doing along with the fact we are getting really chummy with them.
Long coastline. Beautiful country and beautiful women.
This was predicted a couple of years, maybe long, by the geopolitical guy on Rogan.
He predicted Argentina was the next power to start rising and they have. This was before Miliei took power.
Smart man.

I've gone to Argentina for work for years, I love the place but I don't think you could term it the next power rising at the moment

I would also like to know this, as I have some ties to jeanerette.

In terms of history what is time ya know? That could mean 100 years, who knows. I just know they have done very positive things and are operating in a surplus now, which is great.
Ive been to Rio and Sao. I love these cities but this isnt somewhere you could raise a family unless you are familiar with living outside United States.
