As we mark the 50th anniversary of the horrific coup in Chile, we must make clear that we regret our involvement and commit to supporting Chilean democracy
Apologize for the coup in Pakistan last week or fuck off
This is really it for me. They trot out their acknowledgements and apologies decades later when it hardly matters anymore, with zero restoration.
We all acknowledge what the CIA did exactly 25 years ago was bad.
But thank god the force of freedom and democracy put a stop to that 25 years ago.
Modern activities are classified for 25 years but you can trust us we stopped doing that stuff 25 years ago.
they gaslight the victims until they’re dead, and then they console the grandchildren with a half assed “whoopsy daisy. our bad. we’re better now though! (trust us)”
Yup. These fucks use the horror they unleashed on one country to obfuscate their continued torture of another. Hey wanna make amends? dont call the Capitol a “vaunted temple to democracy” or whatever.
Also we just supported a coup in Peru that is still murdering indigenous people, and these progressives did jack shit when Chile was in crisis and there was the push for a new constitution. They can take their performative shit and shove it
Reminder that AOC suported Juan Guaidó and backed American intervention in Venezuela so hard that she was praised by Fox News for it.

We should get an aoc fact bot.
The amount of cringe from the met gala was enough for me to ignore woman for ever.
from dessalines, one of the co-developers of lemmy:
Wtf. I have no illusions about AOC being good, but I guess I at least thought she was better than this. Would seem like an unforced error for any actual leftist, as I can’t think of any compelling political reason to support the coup. It’s not like Venezuelan compradors have their own AIPAC.
We’re sowwy we destabiwized your countwy
We pwomise we won’t do it again… for another five years
commit to supporting Chilean democracy
Please no. You’ve done enough.
Have they? I thought half the joke with Bernie/AOC was how they were never let anywhere near any policy control levers.
What I meant that the USA should not try to intervene in any other country let alone a third world country under the pretext of “democracy” or some other bullshit like that. They have done enough damage to Chile along and unless they wanna pay reparations they should stay away from them.
Sanders and AOC Unveil Revolution
i read it like this and thought this would be a very funny satirical article
