Bukele built inhumane gulags, suspended civil liberties and tossed anyone who looked at him sideways into prison. All my relatives from El Salvador said “yeah but the crime rate dropped” if you point out that a good percentage of the people who were tossed in those holes without due process are innocent, and that’s unacceptable. And they respond with “yeah but the crime rates”.
If you point out that once those gang members are used up, those prisons won’t close, they will be used for whichever undesirables he picks next, innocent or not. And they respond with “but the crime rates”
We reached that point sooner than I thought, and now those holes are being used for innocent people and not even from El Salvador, and my relatives respond with “yeah but the crime rates”
Under Bukele’s crackdown, the government has been undercounting homicides by as much as 47 percent. This is no bureaucratic or clerical error. Since taking office, Bukele’s administration has been laser-focused on reducing homicide rates and improving perceptions of security.
“Murder was in fact a fairly uncommon event in Ankh-Morpork, but there were a lot of suicides. Walking in the night-time alleyways of The Shades was suicide. Asking for a short in a dwarf bar was suicide. Saying ‘Got rocks in your head?’ to a troll was suicide. You could commit suicide very easily, if you weren’t careful.”

This is how fascism thrives
Yep. Mussolini made the trains run on time.
Except he actually made them run worse but just claimed that they were better. So basically exactly like Trump.
And El Salvador
