El Salvador closes 2024 with a record low number of homicides, from 6,500 homicides to 114 - :soysnootypefast: :soysnooseethe: Funko Pop-loving ledditors comfortably living in North America and Western Europe come to terms that tough-on-crime policies maybe do work, and that the cringy problematic cryptobro chud dictator Nayee Bukkake actually.... did a good job? :marseymexican: :soyreddit:

People living in first world countries typing from cozy air conditioned rooms while drinking a cup of overpriced starbucks coffe as usual won't understand that maybe, just maybe, giving up your civil liberties to gain the perk of being able to go to work every day without the very real fear of you or your family falling victim to crime violence, might actually be a decent tradeoff.

When a country's institutions have been corrupted to the point of allowing crime related violence rise to those levels, it's a clear sign that its democracy has already been long subverted.

It's very rich for us in countries privileged with at least somewhat functional law and order and no essentially paramilitary criminal cabals in control of a shocking amount of the country to judge a country resorting to extreme measures due to a literally insane homocide rate.

The biggest tell will be if powers are relinquished when the cartels have been crippled to a degree where they cannot easily return.

Privileged little redditors will always find a way to preach about how they could easily find a way to fix all those issues, while preserving their virtuousness on top of their moral high horses.

!commenters !chuds !edgelords Daily reminder that El Salvadoran prisons are vegetarian and serve the same food daily. :marseycucumber: You get no mattress. :platytired: The lights stay on always. :marseymyeyes: Your cell will have enemy gang members and you will be happy. :marseycope: You will never step foot outside those walls for any reason, even court, until your sentence is up. :marseywholesome:

"There are rumors that they (gangs) want to start taking revenge on random, honest people," Bukele said. "If they do that, there won't even be one meal in prisons. I swear to God they won't eat a grain of rice, and let's see how long they last." :marseysociety2:

"They should stay calm and let themselves be arrested; at least on the inside they will continue to live and have two meals a day," Bukele said.

Did I say three meals? Here's two. :mjlol:

"I don't care what the international organizations say. Let them come here and protect our people," the president said. "They can take their gang members if they want; we'll give them all of them." :marseypeacekeeper: :marseytrollgun:

I would agree with you, but the people in these Salvadoran jails aren't the same people that can be rehabilitated. They were gang members on the outside who broke down society around them to the point that the entirety of El Salvador had the same murder rate as Baltimore. The gangs got so out of hand that they were basically small governments by themselves and started collecting "taxes" from locals. Needless to say, they got no sympathy from me or most others back in the motherland.

Believe it or not, Baltimore can be solved in the same way.

As angry as it makes rightoids, it turns out that even in a country quite literally full of brown people, all you have to do is imprison the violent criminals and crime magically stops.

I don't think it makes many rightoids angry - Big D

It's why I support abortion as well as killing poor minorities before they can commit crime is generally a good plan to reduce future crime.

Shit was out of control in El Salvador and human rights needed to take a back seat to the state of emergency. I'm fine with this.

I agree in principle but I'm not sure President Cryptobro is the one I trust to do it.

Why? He already did it. No one has his track record!

It was three meals a day as well as many other privileges for cartel members (day passes, visitations, outdoors time etc.) back when the government was actively bargaining with the cartels to keep the murder rate down.

This actually worked to decrease the homicide rate surprisingly well for awhile but the truce slowly deteriorated until one day a cartel leader didn't like how negotiations were going and decided to kill 87 people in one day.

I'm just skeptical that this is gonna work long-term either. Paying for to imprison that many guys even at one meal/day is pretty goddarn expensive.

The complete loss of tourism, cost of extortion on local economies, disruption of supply chains and brain drain of anyone with the means/talent to escape the violence was pretty darn expensive as well.
