Abstract

[Building on the quantitative findings, this chapter reports the results of the analyses of in-depth interviews carried out in Chile. The three most common sets of variables that explain indifference to past human rights violations are the predominant emphasis on search for family and personal well-being, discomfort with politics, and fear of a recurrence of the pre-coup d’état crisis and post-coup authoritarian experiences. This chapter also shows that indifference is dynamic and visible, with different intensities. It is argued that the indifferent cynics are a problematic group for transitional justice, democratic consolidation, and the rule of law. Regarding the social consequences, the indifferent may actively promote social indifference in their interactions; indifference has become a socially accepted norm by other sectors, and indifference facilitates the persistence of the culture of impunity over time.]
