This is a deleted tweet from the now-interim president of Bolivia. But internet archive delivers. And what does it say? Why that natives are not true natives because they have jeans and shoes.

The indigenous people of Bolivia are totally not fucked. Nope. Not one bit.

All I'm saying is that I heard something about it, you clearly know a lot more than I do about what's going on.
I don't know much either, but the situation is bad and it's not getting better. This is in no way an improvement.

Not loading for me. I guess to her they're only Native Americans if they have face paint, buckskin loincloths and a feather headdress (to use an extremely stereotypical view of Native Americans that's been used here in the states as I don't know the extremely stereotypical portrayal used in Bolivia or South America in general. It's probably not far off the mark though.)?

Was she the one who was throwing the nazi salute in response to the election committee building being burned down?

I have no idea why it's not loading now. I didn't fuck up the link when posting, because the source where I got it from also is causing the same thing.


EDIT: I think Internet Archive as a whole is down.

While it’s seeming pretty damn coup right now, that’s not really a source I trust — more or less a totally obscure news site with an anonymous SoundCloud, no way of verifying its claims, and so far as I can tell no verification from anywhere else.

Hey now, I just bring the news, I ain't the associated press.

As one guy in the tweet's comments replies, it seems that Virginia is a large center of Bolivian expats.

Bolivians of Virginia seem to have a pretty consistent opinion on the matter indeed /s

I love that it's not even a copy-paste job, because every one is worded slightly differently, except for the first sentence.

Right-wing's next line will be: "Look at these terrorists arming themselves against the Bolivian military. Bolivia must restore order!"

For anyone who thought it isn't a coup and is ~totally~ democratic: Interim president of Bolivia has issued a decree that absolves the military of any and all responsibility for any abuses  they commit.

And this new regime is so democratic that protestors are being disappeared.

Socialism bad, huh?
