He tried so hard, and got so far but in the end it didn't even matter at all

Commodus Augustus, I'm SPQR

Tell me about Commodus. Why does he wear the lion?

Because he was obsessed with gladiator fights

Idk but he died stylishly. Small stuf like that always make me feel bad for south america.

>Have zero support in the supreme court, military or congress
>Everyone in the military and national congress openly hates you

The UP controlled 19/50 senatorial seats and 63/150 of the lower representative seats in congress.

There was support from the military but they were simply killed even before the coup by CIA-funded terrorist groups like Patria y Libertad, Generals Araya and Schneider being the most prominent cases, most would be purged after the coup, like Bachelet. Generally speaking the Air Force was more left-leaning while the Navy was the most right wing.

>Get condemned by every judge in the supreme court
>Be shit ruler in general

Allende established pretty important shit in general, expanding the national education, housing programs,etc. Perhaps the most important was the nationalization of many natural resources, specially copper which continues to sustain the chilean economy to this day.

>Massive inflation
>Food shortages
>People strike every day

Derived from the economic war waged against us by the US under orders of Nixon with helps of the local upper classes, Project FUBELT. All of which is documented in reports Himchey and Church. President's Nixon's phrase "Make their economy scream" sums it up, perfectly.

Specially useful to american interests was the millionaire Agustin Edwards, owner of Chile's biggest media conglomerate. Even before Allende assumed the presidency the US was plotting to overthrow him.

The Sindicato de Camioneros de Chile (truckers) which was the country's main supply method, was also in the CIA's pocket, for example, funded with 2 million dollars they staged a national strike that paralyzed the whole country for many days.

>Crowds of 100k people protesting your rule

The UP had the support of 43% of the population by March 1973, which was actually a big increase of the 35% they had by the start of their presidency. They also increased the number of seats held by the coalition the same year.

Also worth nothing is that Allende was planing to call for a national plebiscite so the people could choose whether or not he should continue in power or not, as he was most likely to win it, the CIA ordered the coup to be staged earlier. Pic related.

>Get surprised when Pinochet chimps out on you

Pinochet was a relative nobody before being promoted by Allende precisely because he was a literally who which made him less dangerous than stronger figures in the army.

I wonder if the faggots who draw gay comics like this realize how self-absorbed they are, thinking they are somehow entitled to the approval of others just because they believe their own ideas are worthy of praise.

Moreover comics like this illustrate that all they really care about is mainstream appeal, they don't care enough about their own opinions to continue to hold them if they are unpopular, it is pathetic really and the mark of someone completely intellectually bankrupt and obsessed with maintaining self-image.

>>1932438
It is indeed wrong to expect your opinions to be approved of.
Still I can understand the difficulty of not being able to express them.

It isn't simply only about maintaining your self-image, there are social consequences for it and not everyone is willing to risk that just so they can do express their ideas.

Though it has nothing to do with intelligence.

God's omniscience contradicts free will, but if you don't believe that people have free will, then you can't accept God burning people forever for "freely choosing" the wrong thing.

If God knew before he created us which if us he would burn forever and which he wouldn't (which of course he did, since he's omniscient), then you're left with a deity who creates humans with the explicit intention of burning them forever, which runs contrary to the whole "omnibenevolent" thing.

>>1929819
We are God's creation but God isn't directly involved in every facet of our lives.

I know there are books on the problem of evil that explain the whole concept of this in greater detail.

those tactics were the best given the weapons at the time. mass volley fire.

>>1927438
Not massing your infantry to compensate for wildly inaccurate weapons and expending ammunition for little/no effect is wasteful too.

Zhukov's unarmed human waves come to mind

I knew a chick that got a master's degree in it with the intent of getting a job at the state department. She ended up $150k in debt and waiting tables at a shitty diner on the side of the road. That was in 2009.

YMMV, and idk what you expect to do with it, but I guess you can take away from this is that jobs at the state department are hard as shit as get.

No, religion is an evolutionary stable strategy formed by thousands of years of tradition and natural selection of memes.

china sucks at movies

It's inevitable, Bo Xilai's popularity have shown that the only ideology with social legitimacy in China is Maoism.

Progressives hope for an economic crisis in China to topple the Communist Party, they think the Chinese will want a liberal democracy afterwards. Lol, they will just get Mao 2.0 and another round of struggle sessions and purges.

Sure, why not?

Runes were already well known before the nazis, and are still used way after

>>1935767

Nazis have ruined it. The BEST you can hope for is that people assume you;re some retarded dippy wiccan neopagan faggot and not a neonazi.
