Because he was a good boi, he dindu nuffin.

Because he was a good man and he didn't do anything.

because he didnt do anything wrong

>he
who?

...

He cried like a baby claiming that he was too old
>General Augusto Pinochet was indicted for human rights violations committed in his native Chile by Spanish magistrate Baltasar Garzón on 10 October 1998. He was arrested in London six days later and held for a year and a half before finally being released by the British government in March 2000. Authorized to freely return to Chile, Pinochet was there first indicted by judge Juan Guzmán Tapia, and charged with a number of crimes, before dying on 10 December 2006, without having been convicted in any case. His arrest in London made the front-page of newspapers worldwide as not only did it involve the head of the military dictatorship that ruled Chile between 1973 and 1990, but it was the first time that several European judges applied the principle of universal jurisdiction, declaring themselves competent to judge crimes committed by former heads of state, despite local amnesty laws.

>cried like a baby
You wish, commie, he would've been your worse nightmare if he was still alive.

Yeah, I hate when grown men use shitty excuses like those.

If you don't recognize the picture, you don't belong in Veeky Forums

If you don't recognize my penis as your sovereign lord, you don't belong in Veeky Forums

I beseech you oh Lord to grace me with your wondrous member

Because he made Chile great again

Meanwhile look at the places that had political freedom. Brazil, Venezuela, Mexico...

Literally who?

That's right, bitch, you want it inside don't you?!

You horny wench, I'm going to make you beg for it.

>frogposter
>post is boring and unfunny

what a shock

there is literally nothing wrong with killing communists.

>muh frogs
>oh what a shock

Fuck off faggot.

Didn't Pinochet make Chile's economy hit the shitter?

I'm surprised his photo hasn't become a meme yet.

>MUH GOMMIES

you conveniently forgot his suspicious bank accounts

this whole thread is basically t.have never ever lived in chile

Proofs?

>MUH POOR COMMIES

>he doesn't like dictators
>therefore he must be a communist
is this some sort of ironic meme?

There is literally nothing wrong with having foreign bank accounts.

>What is CIA intervention during Cold War???

>discarded

commies deserved it tbqh

>Bro we want just want equality and democracy
>mwhahaha the stupid fucks voted for us, kill them all!

Nice try red faggot

>replying to pinoshit dickriding threads

Don't

Stop

>universal jurisdiction
>judged themselves competent

Such arrogance.

>all these claims without proofs

As much as I hate fascists I hate commies even more.

10/10 would fly helicopters with

>hating

Because ICC only came to be in 2002?
Anyway, Pinochet was fucking corrupt, and his rule incredibly brutal. I have no idea how anyone who knows shit about his rule can support this dumb illiterate peasant. What's the point of fighting commies when you literally use Stalinist methods?
And he was a CIA asset and original economic ideas he enforced didn't really work. Chile only started really growing after he left.

Why would you go through all the expense of throwing people off helicopters (fuel is really expensive) when you could put shoot them?

Oh, and despite his adherence to extreme capitalism, he still didn't nationalize copper mines.
And in any case:
>According to The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein, by the late 1980s the economy had stabilized and was growing, but around 45% of the population had fallen into poverty while the wealthiest 10% saw their incomes rise by 83%.[70]
Just like in West today. Rich get richer and poor either get poorer or only marginally richer.
Neoliberal policies failed literally everywhere if you observe any other statistic but GDP.

Terror factor. They put rodents in women's vaginas for example, and other sadistic shit like that.
But apparently that's cool if you make Americans and rich profit even more at the expense of rest of people.

Shhh, dont try to give actual arguments. Throwing corpses from helicopters is enough for the edgy kids.

actually it is though.
There's legit purposes but 9/10 times it's used for corruption.

>They put rodents in women's vaginas for example

Baseless claim. They said the same of the Viet Cong, and it wasn't true even then.

Anything else to declare commie loser?

>baseless claims

According to the Valech Commission, almost every single female prisoner was a victim of repeated rape. Not only would military men rape women, they would also use foreign objects and even animals to inflict more pain and suffering. Women (and occasionally men) reported that spiders and live rats were often implanted on their genitals. One woman testified that she had been “raped and sexually assaulted with trained dogs and with live rats.” She was forced to have sex with her father and brother—who were also detained.

Informe de la Comisión Nacional sobre Prisión Política y Tortura,” National Commission Report on Political Prisoners and Torture,” 2005, 249-250

BTFO

>baseless claim

testimonies from people who survived torture

>commie loser

wew lad

>baseless claim

Gets BTFO by Cry more fascist cock sucker

>they said it
>it means it's true

Come on now, you're better than this

All tortured people gave similar testimonies.

>is given proofs
>b-but

Well the other guy has sources and you don't. So the BTFO medal is on you until you prove otherwise.

Which was gathered decades after the event.

In court simply the word of the accuser is not enough, but evidence is needed as well. Do we have government or coroner reports of such tortures?

>forced to have sex with her father and brother
sounds hot

>evidence

So all those witnesses who said similar things were lying then?

Others have given you proof of brutal treatment of prisoners.
Remember
>but they were commies!111111
is no different from
>b-but they are kulaks!11111

wewy lady

because international court is a joke

You are truly retarded or a shitty troll.

I know this is bait, but the commission actually used a more lenient standard of torture than the UN does, leading to an underestimate of the crimes.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valech_Report#Criticism

It should also be added that a commission in 1991 did find him guilty of human rights abuses, just not to the same extent.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rettig_Report

>International authorities don't persecute someone who sold out his own country
>International authorities persecute said country over a territory they rightfully acquired though war over 100 years ago
You can't make this shit up.

Pretty much.

For the same reason Kissinger hasn't.

there's literally no way socialist economic policies could be bad, it MUST be evil CIA sabotage!

holy shit why are commies so retarded?

obligatory

The British (read: Margaret Thatcher) vetoed his extradition, despite the fact that he was internationally wanted for 300+ criminal charges including crimes against humanity, embezzlement of over 28 million dollars from the state, participation in the global weapons and drug trafficking trade, gruesome acts of sadistic torture, murder, the "disappearance" of several thousands of people, manufacturing of chemical weapons, and committing international terrorism.

>mass killing and political repression is okay when we do it

not an argument

nice meme

Yeah man CIA DINDU NUFFIN
namebase.net/chile.html

So because they said so, it means it's true?
Not an argument. Provide proof.
I agree that he committed human rights abuses (I mean, what else would you call the helicopter rides?), I just dislike these butthurt commies painting him as some sort of dick dastardly/Sauron love child that ate babies and burnt grandmas alive

Nixon literally admitted that the US should intervene in Chile's economy and try to destabilize the country. They had tried to oust him several times already before 1973.

They have given me no actual, verifiable evidence, merely witness statements.

Even the greenest prosecutor will tell you that you cannot build a case on just witness statements

DUDE HELICOPTER RIDES LOL LOOK HOW EDGY AND CONTRARIAN I AM

DUDE GO TO GULAG THAT'LL TEACH THOSE BOURGEOISIE CHADS AT SCHOOL

DUDE MEMES

>merely witness statements

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_violations_in_Pinochet's_Chile

You're a fucking retard.

DUDE MY FAR RIGHT/ LEFT IDEOLOGY LMAO

So we can agree that the far-right means free market fundamentalism?

>literally linking me the same witness statements

Really makes my grey matter work...

I won't defend Allende, but you can't possibly argue that Pinochet wasn't objectively worse.
The biggest criticisms against Allende are his refusal to follow common law. The biggest criticisms against Pinochet are the torture and murder of tens of thousands.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticisms_of_Salvador_Allende#Opponents.27_views

Both were vendepatrias.

May they both slowly burn in hell.

No.

Then the right-left axis is inconstant and totally arbitrary?

Literally only question that matters is how you feel about Louis XVI.

>literally denying evidence

You're a retard

I know that but it just shows that it was made for a specific place and time. I don't think political dichotomies would be that bad if they were based on the context of a country's politics.

>declaring themselves competent to judge crimes committed by former heads of state, despite local amnesty laws.
That's literally illegal, these judges should get retired.

>commies known for fuck everything up in every way possible
>they start to gain power in a country
>country almost becoming a commie state
>the military BTFO the commies
>start going after the commies
>kill and torture them
>saved a country to be desolated to oblivion by communism in expense of the life of those who tried
>implying this is bad

>muh communist conspiracy
>mass killing and political repression while trashing a country's economy is okay when we do it

>the only good LA country nowadays
>not due Pinochet's policies

Can you be any more ignorant of chile and LA in general

Pinochet's policies from 1973 to 1982 were disastrous. His handling of the 1982 crisis was specially embarrassing. The Concertacion governments did far more good for the country than Pinochet could have ever hoped to.
