This episode reads the Chilean far right’s comeback through the lens of Zero Day (Netflix, 2025), transforming the thriller’s theme of repetition and blurred reality into a metaphor for Chile’s political unconscious. Figures like José Antonio Kast and Johannes Kaiser are seen as symptoms of a nation caught in a loop — replaying the trauma of dictatorship in digital form. Drawing on Freud’s notion of the uncanny and the concept of political repetition, the text explores how fear, nostalgia, and misinformation resurrect the ghost of Pinochet not through violence, but through routine. The piece closes by calling for symbolic renewal — education, art, and memory — as the only ways to break Chile’s endless “zero day.”
