For once, no, actually. The CIA tried to overthrow him a few years earlier and failed. Pinochet’s coup caught the CIA by surprise, as Pinochet had… very effectively given the impression of being ‘nonpolitical’ and loyal to the government, to the point where Allende himself was shocked to hear of his involvement.
Also context: spoilers for a certain character in Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Madoka for short), a highly recommended magical girl anime and must watch classic.
Magical girl who’s power is to go back in time. Keeps going back in time to try and save one of her friends but each time reversal results in them being less close as friends. In the main timeline of the show they’ve basically become strangers.
Time travel sucks. No accurate time travel story ends happily, even if the resolution overall is good. Looper is a great example of a good one. I think Primer too, but I still have trouble with it, even with all the aids and charts. Oh, and 12 Monkeys, an easier one to follow.
Also stopping time. And hammerspace. Like, for storing whole aircraft carriers, if she felt like it. Also teleportation. Also creating projectiles out of thin air (but I think that goes for most magical girls in the series). Possibly also flight, or just jumping very high, but again that probably goes for all of them.
Context: on September 11 1973, the democratically elected Chilean president Salvador Allende was overthrown by Pinochet.
With the CIAs help

I would be curious on your sources…mine are Naomi Klein’s Shock Doctrine… Which I read years ago and maybe I’m blurring something but a quick Google search took me to the George Washington University website with this on it…https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/chile/2024-09-09/cia-chile-scandal-50
There the CIA is falsely denying spending money to attempt to destabilize Allende’s administration. They absolutely tried. But as I noted

Classic!?
Damn, I’m old.
Can you tell the spoiler? I wont watch that anime, but it would be interesting to know the full background of the meme.
The other 2 characters on the top image are Pim and Charlie from Smiling Friends

Being meguca is suffering.

Tbf the time travel is not the main story. Arguable whether the resolution is any good.

Minimal context
Her ability as a magical girl is to travel back in time. So yeah, the meme itself is a spoiler.
huh, i’ve watched the first season but i still dont understand this… or maybe i forgot
There’s only the one season, but the first two movies are remakes. The third movie is a sequel to either and there’s a forth in production.
TL;DR?
Do Chileans also use that horrendous month-day-year date format?
According to wikipedia, Chile uses day month year
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_date_formats_by_country
Like everyone who uses european calendar system except americans? Who would have guessed!
ISO or fuck off tbh.
Yeah, Europeans trying to dunk on Americans for their date formatting is pretty funny when they’re both absolute shit compared to ISO
Shittiness is relative, not absolute. The American system is shitty compared to the European one, and the latter is shitty compared to ISO.
It really is no less shitty, you’re just used to it
Well, it is in a logical order. I call that less shitty.
Eh, not everyone. The Japanese go year-month-day.
So in everyday life they would say month-day?
Yeah.
Interesting, so america and their colony. 🙃
Yes, but not on Independence Day.
It’s helicopter time
