Personal Update - Chile Political Crisis
6 years ago
General
First of all, i want to give the thanks to anyone who have keep an eye on me those days despise of my lower mood. It have being hard to be productive those days and i have left a lot of different things slow down or haven't focused much on them as i have lower my working priority on them. I have a long feedback of art that i haven't uploaded and i hope to retake them sooner than later.
Second and the main reason i'm writting this is to give my status about the actual Social problem in Chile, if you haven't heard of you are Unaware about it Chile, My Country, it's dealing with a massive Social problems with a lot of social outburst that started a month ago (Almost exactly to the date of this journal) Due an increase on the subway fare in the Country's Capital City, while the Fare wasn't big to people eyes it was the drops that poured the glass, people started to evading the subway in signal of protest and the Goverment replied with Police Opresion, the opresion got replied with rage and more and more situations started to pile out; Chile Classist Society, the private Waters, the Manage of Retirement point, Being one of the more expensive countries of south America, the Fact that Students loans are basically a Life long payment (I need to pay my student loan in 40 years for example, and i can't advace payment as you pay it monthly with the interest or you pay it whole at once). The Citizens started to manifest our complains, but the goverment did deaf ears and keep throwing the Police at us, they even called a curfew and sent the militaries on the streets to the expected, people died, people injuries, thousand of damage, etc.
The military got called back as well the curfew but the situation didn't stopped, police got more agraviating, people have being arrested, people have being persecuted and taked in custody from their homes, small parts of the cities have being raider by them having not respect from anyone, pregnants, grandpas, old and young. Pacific manifestation disolved by the police in a excessive force, that kind of force make people enrage and replied with destruction and with it the police have attacked, blinded people with shotguns, thousands of wounded. They have being place where they are shouting tear gas that have years of expiration, basically releasing cianidre at the air (Result of the expiration and decomposition of the tear gas that have years of expiration), they even have being used tear gas inside hospitals showing no decency.
And People is Angry and the goverment don't want to listen, and it reply with more violence... I have fear to what or where things would end. People have lost works places, some people have lost their familiars, killd in the fight, killed by the impact caused on them (Suecides as example), so far, i am Lucky that i haven't lost my workplace, i have being lucky that i still have a way to deal with this.
But the Morale it's low, i have heard everyday the hardship of my clients in the Pharmacy, i have being there listening their problems, their misery, heard their situations, heard them and try to ease the burden on their backs. But it is hard to deal with all that, deal with the burden of others. The Morale it's low, but while it's low, we are going to be there and fight, no matter what. We are on our low, but we are going to get up.
I am in a position i really don't need it, my commission slots are full, i'm working thought them (thought a bit slow) so if you have an Chilean Artist, a Chilean friend, try to support them, they will be thankfully of them. Try to be for them, help them listening at their woes, help them distract their mind if they need it, they will apreciatte them.
I'll apreciatte it.
Love you guys, Lucky.

I understand these problems are serious, so please be safe. We love you in this community.
I just wanted to give you the thanks for the thoughts and energy, i hope things stop and improve. Things are slowly moving forward to improve, but they are still pretty dangerous. And maybe in march things will implode again.
So far, i'm just wishing for April to comes, where the chance for a New chile would bright.
Solo espero que pronto las cosas mejoren, en abril tenemos un pebliscito para ver si se puede empear de nuevo la constitución, espero que las cosas mejoren desde ahí.
Animo para usted igualmente, se que las cosas no han estado muy bien por allá.
Saludos.
