In Chile, a country of around 17 million people, more than 1 million people r out in the streets of capital Santiago protesting neoliberalism and the US-friendly govt’s repression of protest. The Western media are curiously silent about the scale of the uprising. #ChileDespertoً https://t.co/O9i3xVGT0l

It does. And also 820,000 people that have no idea what to do otherwise.
No one is an “activist” until one knows how to get out of this shit show.
And 99.999% of people clearly have no clue, merely “demanding action” of some random sort.
The plan? https://t.co/2PN5e3P8M2
