re: #20 Targetpractice

If we believe in those ideals we spout about so often, freedom, liberty, and personal rights, then we should not be in the business of orchestrating governments favorable to us or our goals into power. Pinochet was doing shit we put people on trial for war crimes for in past wars and we kept patting him on the back because “the alternative is worse.”

I realize that Pinochet received plenty of American support but let’s also keep in mind that he didn’t rise to power in a vacuum. There are plenty of far-right individuals in South America then and now.
