Why shouldn't indigenous people have self-determination?
Also, vegans make some good points cc: @alex
mapuches aren’t indigenous to Argentinian Patagonia, they killed the native indigenous
OK. I guess that’s plausible. Even though they look to be more similar to the Picunche than the Spanish are to them.
At the time of Spanish arrival, the Picunche inhabited the valleys between the Choapa and Itata, Araucanian Mapuche inhabited the valleys between the Itata and Toltén rivers, south of there, the Huilliche and the Cunco lived as far south as the Chiloé Archipelago. In the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries, Mapuche groups migrated eastward into the Andes and Pampas, conquering, fusing and establishing relationships with the Poya and Pehuenche. At about the same time, ethnic groups of the Pampa regions, the Puelche, Ranquel, and northern Aonikenk, made contact with Mapuche groups. The Tehuelche adopted the Mapuche language and some of their culture, in what came to be called Araucanization, during which Patagonia came under effective Mapuche suzerainty.

also we will not allow Brit-funded guerrillas trying to balcanize our country
Did they try peaceful means first? Because I don’t see what’s wrong with “balkanization”/decentralisation per se. Brb, reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mapuche_conflict.
