It wouldn't surprise me if the US had a hand (yet again) in fucking up Chile.

Probably Russia again. Destabilization is their game.

Did Russia fuck up Chile? It was the US that helped Augustos Pinochet overthrow a democratically elected government which happened to be socialist and had just made education and healthcare free for all in the country.

It was. The guy you’re replying to is wrong.

Russia? Last time i checked, CPAC is organized by americans and Kast is a regular of those.

All of these fascists in latin america are funded, or at the very least organized and counseled by the US, at this point it’s a very well organized movement called “la internacional reaccionaria” (international reactionary movement), like all of these guys are regular attendes to CPAC. Maria Corina Machado, Kast, Bolsonaro, Milei, Salinas Pliego, etc etc… all regular attendees and organizers of CPACs.

A lot of popular social media are from the US, and they’re already caught with trying to meddle with elections. Musk, his Xitter, and his cars should be banned by any self-respecting democracies. Same to be said about anything under the Meta umbrella, etc. etc. etc.

Boric didn’t achieve his landmark goals. The situation didn’t improve (enough?). He got blocked at every turn, and the people that disliked him, really fucking hated him.

I think, for once, the US has its hands clean. Now that the window is open though…

Not really, look up latin american politicians CPAC attendees.

Oh I know those fascists have been busy. I have no doubt that CPAC and the rest of those racist christofascists have been funneling money and resources, as well as helping other fascists polish their messaging. I meant official US intervention (read CIA fuckery as in years past).
