    American Prestige had an assistant professor of human development at SUNY on to talk about what went wrong - his thesis is basically that the messaging was off for the bulk of the working class where the proposed constitution's attempts at solving issues around identity and indigenous land rights/protections were amplified over basic workplace protections and rights to collective bargaining (even though the proposed constitution quietly addressed those to some degree).

      While I think this doesn't really fully explain the outcome of the plebiscite, an analysis of the state of Chilean media and of leftist influence would probably fill in the gaps. We see similar things going on in the USA, where you either have media blackouts or 24/7 outrage-manufacturing that deflect from issues around labour and working class unity by inflaming identity issues and stoking mindless culture wars.
