- “The military rule was characterized by systematic suppression of all political dissidence, which led some to speak of a "politicide" (or "political genocide")”
- “ bureaucratic authoritarianism”
- “ acts of physical and sexual torture, [and] an immense amount of psychological pain and suffering.”
- “ 17 torture centers.”
- “ spaces [that] were so small that victims had to enter them by crawling on their knees. The tower also included a torture chamber, where prisoners were kept in isolation. Many of them were never seen again. Food was scarce and the conditions were extremely unsanitary.”
- “ One torture method, which was very commonly used, was the "grill" or "La Parrilla." In this torture, electricity was fed from a standard wall outlet through a control box into two wires each terminating in electrodes. The control box gave the torturers the option of adjusting the voltage being administered to the prisoner. The naked prisoner was stretched out and strapped onto a metal bedframe, or a set of bedsprings, and tied down. He or she was subjected to electrical shocks on several parts of the body, especially on sensitive areas like the genitals and on open wounds.”
- “ prisoners suffered from severe beatings, and broken or even amputated limbs. At Villa Grimaldi, DINA forced non-compliant prisoners to lie down on the ground. The captors ran over their legs with a large vehicle and crushed the prisoners' bones.[32] The assailants also beat prisoners in the ear until they became deaf and entirely unconscious; this torture method was called the "telephone."”
- “ many gruesome and horrific acts of sexual abuse against the victims. In fact, several detention sites were solely instituted for the purpose of sexually tormenting and humiliating the prisoners.”
- “ staging arsenal captures and portraying leftist extremists in an extremely negative light. The regime falsely accused leftists of stealing dangerous weapons from weapons stores in order to justify the illegal capture of dissidents.”
- “ Psychological torture was used to destroy a prisoner's will, dignity, moral and physical resolve in order to extract pertinent information from the victim. Members of intelligence agencies like DINA and the Joint Command attempted to extract information from victims by threatening their children and loved ones. Many mothers who were incarcerated in illegal detention centers had to choose between saving themselves or their children's lives.”
- “ waterboarding was one of the torture methods most commonly recorded by victims of imprisonment and torture. The captors poured water over a cloth that covered the victims' faces and breathing passages, causing individuals to experience a drowning sensation, and a near-death experience. Waterboarding caused detainees to asphyxiate, while their heads were submerged into the water several times in a row. Often, prisoners were hung upside-down with ropes, and they were dropped into a tank of water, headfirst. The water was contaminated and filled with debris.”
- "disappearing subversives"
- “ the military to round[ing] up approximately 10,000 students, workers, and political activists and jam them into Santiago's National Soccer Stadium on September 18, 1973. This Stadium, which symbolized Chile's greatest pastime, turned into a concentration camp within a few days. Many were tortured and gunned down, and several hundred bodies were shuttled into secret mass graves.”

There is much, much more that can be added to this list. But, oh, right, “commies aren’t people.” I almost forgot that you had to prove how much of an epic memer you are, which is clearly of the upmost priority.
