🕳️ Released Phantom Node 13: Augusto Pinochet. The Chilean Shadow
When a name isn’t erased — but casts a shadow.
Node Type: Political Phantom
Status: Officially condemned, but never fully reprocessed
Form of Holding: Fear + order + historical ambiguity
Visual Image: A dissolving figure standing in dark light
After the Phantom: A shadow still hovering over generations
The Core of the Node
What held the phantom?
— Executions as system
— Fear as loyalty
— A society that never had time to tell the truth
It was a system of violence.
The names of the victims still echo.
When the dictator is never fully judged — his shadow remains.
Why is the phantom still present?
— Because there was "economic growth"
— Because parts of society remain silent
— Because the truth still burns
Phantom’s Condition
The phantom stands aside.
No longer central, but not gone.
A fading figure — yet the shadow remains.
Collective Response
We do not rewrite history.
We do not balance good and evil when crimes exist.
We speak of the trauma that still lives.
Key Principle
You can’t build the future while the past remains silent.
When a system breaks people, it must be named.
After the Regime
The economists stayed.
The trauma stayed.
And the phantom remained — as an unfinished reckoning.
Alt-text:
A pencil drawing in grayscale. On a large stone wall stands a partially dissolved figure in military uniform, emerging from the shadows. The figure is indistinct — a silhouette that still lingers.
