Yeah, actually, gamers in the house forever,
Allende wasnt even a Communist; he was a milquetoast social democrat

however the CIA knew that Cybersyn, if activated, would eventually pose a threat to humanity akin to that of the fictional SkyNet from the Terminator series of motion pictures, so they had no choice but to depose Allende to prevent it from being used

60000 is the rough number of people falsely imprisoned, tortured, and murdered by the pinochet regime. the murders total around 3000. learn some things before you start spouting your head facts

You know when I watched Manufacturing Consent? I was tripping balls on two tabs of Ex (Mitsubishis if you were wondering) and three hits of acid. This is back when they just called it "ex" and not "Molly" or whatever the gently caress. Heavy poo poo man. I wanted to watch The Wall or The Big Lebowski or something but the guy whose house it was didn't realize that most of us were hosed up and he was like, "you have to see this, it will seriously blow your mind" and it did, but not really in the way I wanted. Anyway that's my 60000 dead in Chile Allande story thanks for listening.
