Thank you for sharing ☺️

yes my people

I'm from Chile and the past of our country still causes lots of pain.

I can't imagine how cruel this is...

they cut his hands and shot him 44 times

@@OfelialaLoca yes. Thanks for spelling it out, It's but one of the horrific facts of this violent and corrupt system.

His hands were mangled in a stadium where Pinochet’s army had locked thousands of protestors and suspected leftists. They made a show of murdering him

they killed him, his body was found near my house, every year people come and play instruments, we make a "carnaval" for him.

And it’s not like the average American wanted it or benefited from it, either. America as a whole is just another population for these rich people to exploit. That’s why we don’t learn about this in school. If we were taught the truth, we would realize all of the cruelty and greed done “in our name” isn’t only horrific and inexcusable - it’s not even beneficial to us.

bro the way i was taught ended up with me skipping past the world wars; all i learned about was the dawn of america, american civil war, and ancient history. so much ancient history…

Don't even remind me about how many times the American colonial era was shoved down my throat

Every school in the US are taught diffrent. Since I was actually taught about the coups and the banana Republics I was also taught extensively about our war crimes during the cold war in my classes in the late 2000s and I'm from a proverty stricken area of the south.

I´m from Chile and Salvador Allende was not a good president at all, but also at the same time he was being sabotaged, food was being held up and not distribuited, and a bunch of protests were ignited artificially, all of this culminated on the dictatorship that Augusto Pinochet had, and even Augusto himself was just a puppet for the political interest of the United States, Chile became an economical experiment introducing neoliberalism. Around this time most of south america had dictatorships bc of the CIA interventions, it´s named Operation Cóndor.

I'm not American, but you're right. I clicked expecting this to be about US 9/11

I was curious so I clicked

It's not even a good painting lmao 🐱

@@larsulrichvevo3196 brb looking for who asked 🏃‍♂️💨

@@larsulrichvevo3196 it's truthful, which is what matters

Both are just the us government hurting and killing others for personal gain. The only reason 2001 stands out is because it was against Americans

I really don’t think so solely for the fact that the American 9/11 was just death of innocent people and destruction, though the coup is still very tragic

I can't talk for everyone in Latin America, but at least in my social circle, in a Central American country, Chile's 9/11 is very much ingrained in our memory. And, I think obviously, feels closer to us than what happened in 2001. The easiest way to get your closest neighbors to distrust you is by being a constant dick to them. I think Russia is the most recent example.

Same, I didn't even know this 9/11 !

Nah, not more. It’s incredibly important to teach history, lest we forget the mistakes of the past, but 9/11 (2001) affected many Allied countries, US citizens & Arabic people. It spawned a war brought about through US govts lies; they even shielded terrorists from justice (the Saudi’s flown back in the hours after the skies were closed, because they have money & oil). I’d guess just as many people died in the Middle East (& helped encourage radicalism) as did the US’ espionage & coup’s in South America. The ‘Red Threat’ is no longer much of an issue, but extremism & propaganda still is. The media, politicians & the public should be taught to ask questions & hold govts to account. Plus, if you talk about South America, you have to bring up cartels & the only answer to that is decriminalisation & legalisation (which too many people are ignorant & uncomfortable with).

Welcome to the real world

@Curiosity your little 9/11 was a attack by an organisation on the us The 9/11 in this video is the one where america killed a couple hundred thousand for some money

Your work is amazing. Thank you. Regards from Ásgeir.

indeed there so many fanatastic painters in Ecuador that go unnoticed.

"If you ever visit Ecuador, make sure to consume." Heh.... The dollar always find a way to keep it's hegemony, and capitalism always thrives on its dissonances. What a joke of a especies we are. (And this comes from an Ecuadorian-Chilean residing in Ecuador btw.)

@@qchtohere8636 Well, are you going to consume the artist's works that are overshadowed by poverty in the streets of a mostly indigenous city, or are you going to consume the country that helped shape that same poverty? Not like the artists in the US are responsible for this, I will make that clear, but sadly those $20 for an artisan bag that took almost a month could've been prevented if the US didn't just make innocent people vanish because of the Hex color code getting 255 and a couple of 0's... And even then, when this country was somewhat free from that reign, the dollar had to change the Sucre. It truly is saddening to see happiness for getting enough money to eat that night after selling artwork that could prevail for a lifetime.

@@paoloortiz5662 thanks for describing my point. That's "the best system we can devise" after all, of course by denying every other alternative by force.

@@qchtohere8636 ? Sorry, I don't quite understand. What do you mean by that, may I ask?

@Sarah Coleman: Bingo

huh, ive always seen it as irony. since those meant to protect, is the first responders. 911. However this also makes sense.

There's no one more ignorant of American history than Americans themselves so I wouldn't be surprised if our "experts" genuinely didn't know about what we did in Chile

There is absolutely zero indication that Al Qaeda have any problem with Pinochet. Also they did not "kill innocent people to send a message to people in power". They attacked the USA as a provocation to create greater tension for recruitment and they sought to inspire Muslims worldwide, to show that they are capable of hurting Western powers. Of course the hijackers themselves did it for the pussy in the afterlife.

Its weird to see how many of them genuinely arent aware of their history

@@TalosAcephalos because its not taught in school and most people have no interest in the history of another country unless its their field of interest. its not like the government advertises the fucked up things they do, in fact they do everything they can to keep it under wraps.

@zttkmmv mostly, we here do get taught about the ills of our country in school. Its a vastly different education system, is all i meant.

Warning: You’re about to read a LOT. American here. They love to teach us early colonial America all throughout elementary and middle school, which gets *really* repetitive. We don't get past that until high school. In the meantime, we do learn of some atrocities but only domestically, such as slavery and what we did to Native Americans. 4 years of highschool, and 2 years where we actually have history class and not social studies, compared to all of the other years goes by fast, especially when lessons are crammed into an 8-class schedule with an 8-hour school day. Thus, for many, history is something to check off on a student's to-do list and not as a place of learning. Standardized tests have also hindered us since the teachers have to follow what they need to teach; however, if they don't teach, then they will give you assignments to make sure you can barely pass a test so they don't get fired for failing all of their students. If someone paid any attention, the lessons are mainly over post-Reconstruction, including Progressive Era, Great Depression, the World Wars, Cold War (aka us vs. communism), Civil Rights movements and minority cultures in America, wars in the Middle East, domestic and foreign terrorism, and today's politics. There is no doubt that schools are biased towards America being put in a better light when talking about others, but they think it can be balanced out by talking about the negatives caused by ourselves. The best bet is going to college where classes have more time and are more focused. Good professors are thought-provoking and, more often than not, love to tell you about American atrocities upon other countries. In addition, there will be assignments that require you to research a specific event in history, so it's interesting to take it upon ourselves to learn something schools did not teach us about. Still, that's only for those who believe that history class actually matters, as the class is a requirement for undergrad. But I am sure you are aware that there will be people who drop out during high school or who are uninterested in taking on a higher education. It's not surprise that Americans do not know much about history because we are made to hate it.

It’s simple really, just don’t throw in the trash the only good parts in the Chilean Constitution (more honestly, the only worthy of honest praise instead of “great you managed to not fuck up this part” in the whole of Latin America) and you’ll find out 80% are ok changing the one made by a literal dictator.

Yes. But context is entirely KEY to processing this work. It's not generalized pain and fear, it's VERY specific. And that's why it's so very powerful. It's irreplaceable as a work of art, with a veey deep meaning.

@@TheSearchForTruth88 well, I have empathy for humankind regardless of country barriers. We are all people capable of feeling pain, love, loss.

a lot of people here dont even know that the U.S were the ones responsible behind this. One of the other thing taht they did was to spread misinformation amongst people, and create a blind fear and rejection to comunism, socialism, etc. This was the effect of "the soft line" that is talked about in the video, by destabilizing the chilean economy, and the convinsing a lot of people that it was the fault of the ideals of Salvador Allende, they were able to put a lot of people against him, and sabotagge a lot of his projects, and a lot of people still think like this. But honestly I think they treated you well because at the end of the day you had nothing to with it, and I personally think that should not hate each other for the decisions that those that have the power make, I am thankfull that you shared your story and empathize with our people and I'm also really glad that you had a good impression of chileans.
