Reposting from previous thread:
There's a thing most anons, and people in general, don't seem to know regarding some of these activist groups, called "Organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil" in Chile.
The government bankrolls a lot of these groups, so while every other person has to work 50 hours a week (45 + lunch break, not including commute time) to get some money for them and their families, many "activists" can prolong their ideology pushing beyond their time in school and university.
I bet it's easy for them to plot and talk freely about redistributing other people's money when themselves have all the time of the world to do so despite creating so little value; this report from 2015[1] indicates that nationally they receive about 3.5 BILLION DOLLARS in funding, and that about half of that comes from the government (i.e. from our taxes).
Some of you may still remember the leak where it was shown that just the "Servicio Jesuita a Migrantes" alone received more than 1 million dollars to continue doing what they do[2], which is to interfere with anything related to border control. And there are a lot of other smaller groups, for example Human Rights groups listed in the INDH site[3]. Hundreds of thousands of activist groups.
I had read about this before, superficially. Now when I see in the news all this talk, these repeated terms "social explosion", "new social pact", "constitutional assembly" and specially "there are no political groups here" I understand it may be too late. Removing the govt. funding to these parasitical groups should've been done sooner, as now they've grown way too large by now.
Hard times are coming.
