So Mr. Bitcoin President of El Salvador has deployed a massive wave of incarcerating violent gang members to combat endemic violence in the country, but also at the cost of civil liberties and also not addressing the root causes of the gang violence in the first place.
Of course, El Salvador has been among the most violent countries in the world in terms of murder rates and violent crimes so something had to be done, but I'm not convinced that this crackdown will do anything but kick the can down the road.
Thoughts? Also, apologies for the Guardian link it was the first summary to come up when I searched it :ohnoes:
Redditor in chief from insignificant colonial holding: "Violent criminals need to be arrested"
Latam imbeciles who always vote the most racist and pro-IMF politicians: "Wow! Such genius!"
As a south american I know why all the fucking Raúles are being blasted with this disgusting pro Bukele propaganda lately, and I hate everything.
