lmao at how reactionaries seethe at the thought of life getting any better for the lower classes
I mean I think that's a significant motivator for a lot of chuds - they sincerely hate it when things get better for poor people (or in the United States, when they get better for minorities too).
We have minorities in south america too and chuds hate them with passion (unless they are white then they worship them)
noooo you are pissing on pinochets grave
chileans: voting machines goes brrrr
Hey guys, I just had an interesting thought. What if we had no nations and no rulers? Like, we could all live under a system that rewards cooperation and doesn't depend on sowing division to perpetuate itself.
idk just an idea, probably crazy haha
[cw: sexual torture]
An otherwise unremarkable house on Calle Irán, in south-east Santiago, Chile’s capital, has a sombre history. The two-storey building was used to detain, torture and exterminate political opponents under the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990). The widespread use of sexual violence against detainees, blindfolded at all times, prompted its macabre name of Venda Sexy (Sexy Blindfold), allegedly coined by perpetrators.
Women were particularly targeted for sexual abuse, suffering rape, forced pregnancies, abortions and sexual slur. A German Shepherd dog called Volodia was trained to rape inmates. Female and male prisoners were also subjected to beatings, hangings, electric shocks, Russian roulette, asphyxia and deprivation of sleep, among other torture methods. Prisoners called the secret detention centre La Discothèque due to Pinochet’s agents blasting loud music at all times.
According to the association of survivors, at least 85 political prisoners were held here between 1974 and 1977. More than a quarter of them (23) were killed and made disappear. They were among the 41,470 victims of political detention, torture, forced disappearance and extra-judicial execution perpetrated by Pinochet’s regime across 1,168 detention centres — crimes that in many cases, as Amnesty International notes, are still waiting for truth, justice and reparation to be served.

When people complain that counter-revolutionary reactionaries getting the wall is being unjust or unnecessary this is the kind of thing they need to read. In comparison to what they would be happy to do to you a bullet is a kindness.
dunno if they did that in Chile, but it happened in Brazil during military rule
Just under 80% voted for a new constitution, which should be written by citizens (not politicians) and approved in a new referendum. The province with the lowest support for a new constitution still had more than 60% of voters in favor of it.
