MIRAME

La mirada es un llamado al Otro a que éste se abra en su deseo.

Just so you know the situation in Chile has escalated so quickly in just two days that last night our clown of a President declared total curfew for the entire city. Something that hasn't been done since Pinochet's dictatorship, THIRTY years ago. The cocaine-snorting army got a free pass to do whatever they want and they're having the time of their lives playing war with unarmed civilians, they're beating the shit out of women, students, the elderly, they don't care.

Last night a parade of tanks, police cars and soldiers armed to the teeth pointing with rifles just passed in front of my fucking house. I fell asleep hearing gun shots. And I'm lucky this is a quiet middle class neighborhood. South side Santiago is a total mess. People who suffered under Pinochet's dictatorship (our parents and grandparents) are having panic attacks and PTSD flashbacks all over again.

The press doesn't do shit, only focusing on bootlicking politicians, metro stations and supermarkets burning (which has been proved the police did it themselves, there are videos) instead of reporting the hundreds of wounded civilians, some of them dead but of course there are no "official" statements by the government. They're even blocking their online websites so people outside the country can't watch the news. We're only relying on social media to know what's really happening.

They're trying to make the people get angry with their own class, the ones causing "vandalism" by supressing public services like the subway and bus system but it's not working anymore. Turns out people were not as stupid as they thought and it's just gonna get worse because they have nothing else to lose. Other cities are starting to protest. It's not gonna stop here and adding more soldiers it's the stupidest thing they can do.

Please keep Chile in your minds and hearts.

Our people are being beaten, and killed.

Violence.

“Violence is not the way”

They said when the turnstiles were broken.

And I agree, that’s violent.

But violent is also the way in which the families of the missing detained don’t know where the bodies of their loved ones are. Violent is the way in which the drought in Petorca had their causes identified in 2014 and the reform made was an incomplete project of the state.

Violent is the way in which Chile is the most unequal country in the OCDE, with a system “pro rich” where the taxes affect the poor severely more. Violent is the way in which the elders of 80 years have the highest suicide rate due to absence of prevention policies focused on the elderly.

Violent is the lack of resources, inputs and lack of dignity in public health. That Quintero’s youth must close the school year due to health problems after episodes of contamination. The sexual abuse of the Church, and the protection that the policy has given to the cases. That Carabineros of Chile confiscate fruit at fairs instead of disarticulating drug trafficking in neighborhoods.

Violent is the way our elders have to work even after their retirement because they can’t live otherwise.

Violent is that the Metro of Santiago cares more about broken swivels that people killing themselves in the train tracks.

Violent are the ones who provoke social inequality, not those who fight against them.
