MS13 vs. Barrio18: Salvador's Violent Gang War | Witness | Gang Documentary

[@andyhegarty820]

Bukele really did do what he said he was gonna do. He cares for his people and they love him. May have dictator tendencies but he’s done great things for his country.

[@stevel9627]

Sometimes it takes a dictator to control the small percentage of psychopaths causing the majority of damage. Same thing happened in the middle east when dictators that were killed were the only thing stopping the extremist from taking over.

[@RobertMarshall-hl1rv]

May have dictator tendencies then he's corrupt

[@KevinSoupy]

Go bucks

[@bluerationality]

Dictators who have good intentions can help short term (especially in desperate situations) ; because ones with good intentions are rare it goes south at some point down the line. Hope when Bukele transfers power at some point he does so with the future sustainability in mind.

[@c3ramics]

By the way in Mexico, and other Latam countries, the dead person's body stays in the house in the casket on display for a couple of days before the burial. Friends and relatives come and go while the family hosts the body. Children and relatives sleep on couches in the same room with the casket. Small business rent out spaces with rooms and couches for this. As it is death is already something people have an acquaintance with in Latam.
