I'm sure The Economist patted Sri Lanka on the back.

I guess it's the mullet approach to editorial: business at the front in print, party at the back on social media.

🚨🇨🇱 Scores of UChicago professors and alumni have written to President @gabrielboric to slam the "shameful legacy" of the Chicago Boys that collaborated with Dictator Pinochet to write the 1980 constitution that has strangled Chile https://t.co/BaywoAfgEq— David Adler (@davidrkadler) September 2, 2022

Don't forget: 80% of Chileans voted to bury Pinochet's constitution back in October 2020. The plebiscite today will come down to the wire, no doubt. But regardless of the outcome, there is no going back. Only steps forward on the path to a new Chilean republic.— David Adler (@davidrkadler) September 4, 2022

Yup, Adler is in "fight continues" mode. And the only reason we've had this vote is because of street protests.

The proposed new Chilean constitution began the year with majority support, which then crumbled as the disinformation specialists got to work and rumors spread that it would legalize abortion up to the moment of birth, allow people's homes to be confiscated, etc. pic.twitter.com/4eDDIHqUVg— 🦀 Jon 🦀 Schwarz 🦀 (@schwarz) September 5, 2022

The Mapuches were colonized in the Occupation of the Araucanía (1883) and the Quechuas and Aymaras in the War of the Pacific (1884). Pinochet passed terror laws to steal Mapuche lands in the 1980s. The plurinational constitution would've returned Native self-determination. 2/— New Amauta (@AmautaNew) September 5, 2022

Like so many Chileans, I'm painfully disappointed that the majority could reject principles of equality and respect outlined in #NuevaConstitucion - principles that came out of a direct cry from the estallido https://t.co/WDjz470DdW— Naomi Larsson Piñeda (@naomilars) September 6, 2022
