I’m Chilean, I live abroad but my family is in there. They don’t know what to expect for today much less for tomorrow morning. It’s total chaos, both by civilians that sadly started to loot and break private and public property and by our dear and beloved corrupted police forces that beat the crap out of every civilian they find on their way.
Tho… Not all damages are caused by civilians because once again, our dear and beloved currupted fuckipg cops love to desguise as normal people in order to spread chaos and have the permission to beat the crap out of people.

Things you ought to know:
It didn’t start because of the increase on the price of the public transport price, that was the last straw.
The living cost is way to high and the minimal amount earned per capita is actually low and not enough.
Pensions for elder people are also incredibly low and a considerable amount of elders have to find some way to keep working in order to survive.
Also, carabineros are known to detain street vendors (must of the time women that don’t have other option than selling food on the streets, sometimes they’ll just sell salads on tiny plastic bags to make some honest money) and they also threw all the merch to the trash can (if they can’t keep it with them). Besides of course, not being precisely gently with the detained people.
Parallel to the prior points mentioned, you must know that Carabineros de Chile, who should protect our people, are corrupt as fuck and they count with numberless privileges that they honestly don’t deserve by law (students and elders by instance shouldn’t pay public transportation according by the law but oh well… Guess who pays and who don’t).
Before some dumb fucking right wing asshole comes here to say “BUT IT’S THEIR JOB, THEY’RE RESPECTING THE LAW AND MAKE EVERYONE RESPECT IT BECAUSE SELLING WITHOUT PERMISSION IS ILLEGAL” yeah Juan Pablo del Basoalto y Tomiciç-Hoffmann, I would gladly take that shit in consideration if they weren’t FUCKING CORRUPT AND KNOWN FOR STEALING AND MAKING FUCKING MONEY WASHING AND BEING FUCKING SADISTIC AND TORTUROUS HYPOCRITES. And don’t dare to say shit @ me because I’ve seen enough footage to make my fucking stomach twist thanks to their ways of “making the law respected.”
Which, if they truly want to respect the law and for everyone to respect it, they should have behind bars the entire Chilean government.
You must also know that they’re all fucking thieves and a bunch of imbeciles that doesn’t care about us but only for they pockets. There is so much crap to it…
They literally raised their own paycheck (making and approving a new law OVERNIGHT) because they didn’t earn enough, poor babies, when there are truly important law projects resting on the senate hands FOR OVER A DECADE. Not to mention that the entire populations didn’t get any raise lol.
Oh, should we talk about the fact that the government was so mad because people started to evade payment of the public transport since Monday?? When they’ve been evading taxes, very significant and important taxes SINCE ALWAYS? BESIDES EVADING THE TRUTH AND THE FACT THAT THE PEOPLE DIDN’T WANT THE FUCKING TPP11 (there was a fucking plebiscite to it and the participation rate from the citizens was huge as ever!) AND THEY APPROVED IT NONETHELESS BECAUSE IT WOULD ONLY BENEFIT THEM??? They have sell our country, they have stole the bread from the worker’s hand and handed everything to others, to the rich, to foreigners, there is so much i could keep telling…

So after all of it, and more, the rise of the tickets was just the last straw.
People kept quiet long enough and now riot has taken place.
As always, militar forces abuse their power and people fear the most. I fear for my friends. I fear for the young. I fear for the women. I fear for the elder. I fear for them all.
We don’t know how this is going to end.
This started exclusively in the capital but has already spread to Other regions.
Spread the word. Let the world know.
Cuídense los unos a los otros.
Organícense y hagan temblar de miedo a esos conshesumares cuando se den cuenta que el poder no está en ellos sino que en ustedes, unidos. Que sus palabras resuenen más fuerte que nunca, que la rabia se traduzca en energía para renovar la tragedia por la que se pasa. No caigan como presas fáciles ante la desesperación y el caos.
Hermanos y hermanas a la distancia, resistan.
