THIS is what Latinos mean when we say no one gives a SHIT about us. when is the US everyone drops everything to spread the word and help out but when it’s Latin America people can make edits of devastating forest fires and call it “aesthetic” and use it to promo songs.
and THEN when called out on it they don’t even apologize, they try to lie about their house burning down because their fucking toaster exploded to guilt people out of calling them out
I HATE IT HERE. Y’all just don’t give a SHIT about third world countries and it fucking shows. absolutely disgusting
The Chilean fires going on right now were INTENTIONALLY caused by a company who wanted to save money on clearing out a piece of forest during the dry summer, thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes and more than two thousand acres of land have been burnt
Chilean firefighters are a 100% volunteer force, they receive no salary and very little government help. if you want to help, this is the link for international donations https://www.airfunding.net/project/241698?hl=es&utm_source=copied_url&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=project_first_shares&utm_content=project_id_241698
moots chilenos cuídense muchísimo por favor, aquí hay algunas recomendaciones e instrucciones sobre que hacer ante el humo y links para donar (instructions for smoke protocol and donation links)

also FYI the person who faked their house being burnt down after being called out on calling the wildfires “aesthetic” is making a gofundme to “rebuild their house” so if you see that floating around, know it’s fake !!
