    This comment sums it up quite well

    Yes, this is exactly the case of liberalism enabling fascism by being completely toothless. And it’s also the consequence of the bourgeois class’s counterrevolutionary reaction to the protests. They made a complete overhaul of their propaganda tools when they lost the first referendum to rewrite the constitution. They changed their political strategy to complete saturation of right-wing propaganda in every possible space. They are wasting an absurd amount of money on permanent saturation propaganda. Before, they used to put their efforts before the elections, but now it’s every day. They are inventing a reality where we practically live in Mad Max, and if you go out, you are going to get shot by a Venezuelan cartel, but it’s completely bullshit. Chile is still the most secure country to live in Latin America.

    TLDR: Right wing mass media convinced people that they practically live in Mad Max, and if you go out, you are going to get shot by a Venezuelan cartel

    So chileans voted for the extreme right wing party that has been for years anti inmigration and pro-police

          The smarter you are, the more vulnerable you are. You think that it's only for the stupids and can't possibly affect a galaxy brain like yourself.

          And when it works, you think that it was your idea, that you came up with it yourself. Just look at all the stalwart anti-Nazis who suddenly turned on a dime and began cheering for Ukrainian Nazis just because the US government told them to.

            Turns out education is simply a function of one's information stream, and if you bombard people with bad inputs you can have very smart people spending all their time arguing over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
