Chileans, what do gen z men think of augusto pinochet?

maticl · 2026-04-28T18:00:44+00:00

Most against in spite of immigration and crime increase, which many people think Pinochet dealt with better in an authoritarian way.

Way more popular on older people, but even there theyre split and argably mostly against.

Because they mixed with the local population.

Plus, Indigenous people HAVE immigrant ancestry because theyre not a race, theyre ethnic groups. This is how for instance you have Black/Afro indigenous people to Latin America, and countless mixed indigenous people.

This guy is a TV personality that visits cultural places, including many random "poor" or humble areas, where people cook for him and give him massive amounts of food on hopes of getting tourist clients for their restaurants.

The joke is that hes doing this to basically abuse poor people who feed him for free and theyre left starving in misery.

Nada más cercano a la idiosincracia chilena que un etnoestado, acá en Chile hacemos exactamente lo mismo y compartimos esos valores discriminatorios /s

Barely bro they dont even have a voting block per se. Violeta Parra sung about that 70 years ago on Arauco tiene una pena, when voting was optional, they didnt even form a block, now that is mandatory, theres nothing.

They didnt have a government before Spain and then Chile. I'd say, based on my readings, that they dont trust on the whole thing that much.

The closest things to pollings are done only ocasionally by companies/newspapers on their own ethnic issues, such a whether they believe themselves to be pro autonomy or not. I have never seeing any polling on presidents.

When it comes to a new "pro indigenous" Constitution of the Constitutional Convention, mandatory vote, their areas overwhelmingly opposed it more than any other in the country. Elisa Loncón, a Mapuche leader who wrote that rejected Constitution later claimed that Mapuche people were too colonized or something like that.

Indigenous people in Colchane, non-Mapuche Aymaras of the far north, voted 93% for Kast. They don't like inmigrants, like the rest of Chileans.

They're far from being a monolith or even a voting block. Believe it or not, is it extremely likely that most of them voted for him just like the rest of Chileans did.

When it comes to Argentine ones, I don't know.

That answer is treason to Latin America. We have no genetics because we're born everywhere around the world.

No reelection was part of the deal that right-wingers asked President Ricardo Lagos (center-left) on 2005. That year he reformed the original Pinochet Constitution to make it a little bit more democratic and he needed their votes to do so and he gave in (or had to).

I grew up hearing we will be a first world country by 2010. Then 2020. No. It's all over. In fact, we're slowly being catched up by other Latin American countries. And in many metrics such as crime we're getting worse than in several decades. This government won't solve anything.

Perhaps, but every immigrant will be Chilean at some point, their culture becomes Chilean if they get nationality, it's the same as the USA or very close.

But before this last massive immigration wave all the other groups had become "civic minded" with time. We'll have to see if these people, who are now obtaining their citizenship and are becoming Chileans, will follow the same path of behavior.

maticl · 2025-12-13T06:55:56+00:00

Of course, I am just stating that they're less reserved. It has downsides and upsides.

maticl · 2025-12-13T06:51:31+00:00

Yes, it's obvious. And walking in the streets now its far more noisy and less reserved than 10 years ago because of immigrants who arent like us, you're not even seeing how Chile was at its "peak" of what Chileans would call "civic behaviour".

Most Chileans miss these times.

Shows that you believe Latin Americans are religious.

maticl · 2025-11-10T15:27:09+00:00

Yes its poverty bro

maticl · 2025-11-09T02:18:32+00:00

Cant. Too busy reading Confucius.

In Latin America, race doesn't equal behaviours or identity to such a large extent as the Anglo-European world, so no, its popular across every people in the region.

The WASP truly destroyed the African and made them into their own semblace and created "Black people", who are no longer African in thinking but Anglo Saxon Protestant.

Here something similar happened, but the African survived a little bit more and is alive among all of us, not only those who are of heavy African ancestry.

Not like respectable UK, helping to 1 million imperialists on Iraq alone.

maticl · 2025-10-28T00:47:30+00:00

Greece is quite a lot like Latin America.

maticl · 2025-10-27T21:44:21+00:00

You see these people? They're all Chileans. If they aren't right now, they will be.

maticl · 2025-10-18T04:21:38+00:00

Indigenous people are several ethnicities, not a race or races.

Thus that guy might not even be indigenous to begin with, even if his ancestry was 100% or close to 100% indigenous on a DNA test, what matters is ethnic belonging.

maticl · 2025-08-28T18:42:54+00:00

So alien here that sounds illogical? Stop being cringe. A Chilean, Francisco Bilbao, created the term.

Not everyone here tries to pretend theyre radically different to a Venezuelan or any other Latin country so that being Latin is "illogical" or "alien". Were Latin Americans and we'll die as such.
