@Pichicateru @AthosBragelonne I'm not going to debate the acceptable here, but one-eye-shut accounts of how only the Bolivian left fights in the street, or burn things down, or conduct blockades are absurd. (thread)

@Pichicateru @AthosBragelonne Throughout the three weeks of protest against the Morales government, anti-Evo protesters burned down houses of officials and their families, public buildings, and offices of the MAS and its allies.

@Pichicateru @AthosBragelonne Both the Resistencia Juvenil Cochala and the Unión Juvenil Cruceñista have a history of carrying and using homemade weapons. eju.tv/2019/12/resistencia-cochala-crece-y-busca-pasar-de-grupo-de-choque-a-civico/ opinion.com.bo/articulo/cochabamba/motoqueros-resistencia-frenar-desbloqueos/20191102002440735066.html

@Pichicateru @AthosBragelonne Earlier iterations of these movements, which peaked in 2008, engaged in bitter on-the-street violence, as in Cochabamba in January 2007, in Sucre in May 2008, in Santa Cruz across 2008, and in Porvenir (Pando) in September 2008 . youtube.com/watch?v=yLmlUiNCKQc

@Pichicateru @AthosBragelonne Both sides in the electoral conflict engaged in prolonged blockades, leading to shortages.

@Pichicateru @AthosBragelonne And both the deadly violence by MAS supporters in Montero, and the pattern of arsons by anti-MAS movements departed from collective expectations about acceptable tactics. See this thread… @CarwilBJ/1190295369726476291

@Pichicateru @AthosBragelonne Though the arsons and person-to-person attacks echo similar actions in 2006-2008.

@Pichicateru @AthosBragelonne You have to be willfully blind to one side's arsons to ignore that both the MAS and the Right have many members who could be jailed for burning down houses since October 20. @CarwilBJ/1193726023831035904

@Pichicateru @AthosBragelonne Some kind of neutral prosecutor's office or accountability commission could bring all of this to light. But to pin this all on Evo Morales or the MAS-IPSP is to ignore the facts.
