Documentary: La Batalla de Chile · 4:44pm Sep 11th, 2021

I won't give this one too much preamble, since I already talked about the history of censorship surrounding this material. Though, I do want to comment of something that really struck me through the first part: how much was lost.

There were so many step towards progress being taken in Chile under Allende's presidency. So much we had, so much that was being built. There was a true unity among the working classes, among the people of Chile. There was so much hope. Then the US decided we didn't need to be free to better serve their interests.

Without further ado, the documentary that was silenced in Chile for 48 years.

The US has an unfortunate history of sacrificing principle and good policy in order to prioritize the politics of money. The Kuwait intervention of Desert Storm would never have happened if oil wasn't there. In fact, nobody would care about the middle east at all if it wasn't for all the oil there, cause there is nothing else valuable about the place at all except for religious landmarks. Our politicians are rarely punished and frequently exorbitantly rewarded by lobbyists because most voters don't care about anything that isn't directly affecting them. Banality at its finest.
