I investigate what role ideology, economic context, and anti-elite attitudes play in explaining motivations behind the 2019 Chilean uprising. Additionally, I investigate if there is evidence that relative deprivation theory and/or survival protests are a part of this motivation. I find that predictors of ideology and anti- elite attitudes suggest protests were motivated by fraternal relative deprivation, and where anti-elite attitudes matter greatly, socioeconomic status matters little.
