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? 
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.

You said that Bukele is working on a secret plot by the CIA's "plan for El Salvador" hidden from the American people that apparently both Biden and Trump are in on.
And everyone in the CIA. Because as we all know, they all have to do what "the agency" says or they'll be killed, like on TV.
I suggested that this is implausible and has been a common cope of people in Less Developed Countries for a long time for their own political difficulties.
You made a catty remark and I reminded you that I was totally right about Nicaragua when I said that the Ortega regime would make him a dictator serving foreign powers (China, Venezuela, in addition to Cuba).
You realized that you have no idea what I'm talking about and thought you should be triumphalist.
I realize you don't know that Nicaragua is next to El Salvador, that there was a big war there in the 1980s, that this explains what's going on in Nicaragua in obvious ways (the Ortega dictatorship came back) and El Salvador (I dunno it's more complicated).
You piss your pants and pray that I'm too drunk to call you out.
!followers !historychads !boozers Don't try to frick with me about history hoping I'll be drunk. I could be fricking huffing gas and I'll know more about what happened in your country in the 1980s than you know yourself.

You started rambling about Nicaragua without any context
