Javier Milei / Argentina

Not sure if it's somewhere in sirch-land but El Salvador is kicking ass on criminals as their president was re-elected by an overwhelming majority. They simply disbanded parts of the constitution and rounded up, door-to-door anyone, anyone with a shaved head and gang tattoos. Tough shit, see ya later. El Salvador went from being the most unsafe country in the WESTERN HEMISPHERE TO THE SAFEST in two years.

Shades of a Clockwork Orange.

In response to a reporter full of impudent arrogant bullshit -

" Bukele: We took the recipes from the European Union. We took the recipes from the United States. None of the recipes worked, more blood-shed, more people dying. So what do we do? Okay, we do something and we save people, and now, we're the safest country in the Western hemisphere, but suddenly, something is bad.

"Oh, you shouldn't do that, you should do what I think you should do." Why? Not only do we have the right to do what we think is right and what the Salvadorian people are going to decide whether or not they want to stay with the election, but also, we've proven it works, and you haven't proven your system works in our country. It might work in yours, I don't know, but it doesn't work in ours.

It's like I told one time a member of the European Union, I know you Brexited that, but I told a member of the European Union, "You take your best government...you chose your best government, same people, same talent, same experts, the same will to do things the right way, you take your best government and you put them to govern Afghanistan, and tell them, okay, you govern Afghanistan the same way you govern this European country." You'll be dead in a week because you can not govern Afghanistan like you govern Europe. So stop trying to make us use your recipes because they don't work here."

The Truth hurts. :mr-t:

Good for them, that is the only country I've been in where I never felt comfortable. It always felt like someone was watching you. The whole place was like the shity parts of Tijuana.

I dont think that happened. Do you have a source or any evidence ? Could be, ya never know. The shaved head M-13 (13) fuckers are definitely here. He put 75,000 people in jail in a nation of 5 million. Or about 1.5% of the entire population. Or 3 % of the male population. Or estimating 10% of the age group 15-45 - WAG with shitty math. :laughing:

In any event he shit canned a shit load of gang-tatted bitches. :beer:

Edit - Should be a lot of young women missing their lil' piece of gangster love at night, sitting all alone now. :idea:

at the start of the thread you said he was afeared of death from nazis if this happened

or whatever it was :rasta: just curious if he died. Being in CT, may have killed himself in sympathy :laughing:
 
My socialist Argentinean friend told he listened to Milei's speech in parliament and he generally agreed with what he said. Whether he does those things is a different matter. IIRC, his party only has about 20% of seats in congress.

If anyone is interested. YT has English subtitles:

 
YT isn't in English, got another link? I freakin love this guy.

BTW< why is Trumps lawyer standing behind him....:stirthepot:

When my first wife's G'ma was 20, she was a secretary. She often worked late, and walked home alone after dark. Everyone was very polite, and she had no worries about crime. She appreciated the well-disciplined police force on the neighborhood streets.

I hate to go all Godwin's Law, but ^ is a first-hand account of one way to a safe society.

Maybe we can find a middle road.
 
I guess alot of this depends on what the police are doing. Are they beating the fuck out of some guy that tried to rob an old lady? Or are they writing speeding tickets for going with the flow of traffic and drug raiding the oops wrong address sorry we shot your aquarium?

I think alot of people would be more pro- law enforcement if law enforcement was actually operating in a way that made the community safer vs. operating in a way that gets the most revenue and convictions.

progressivism is only authoritarianism when you happen to disagree with it

When I was down there in the mid-2000s, it was very common for the police to have a "safety inspection" at various points in the highway where you got a "ticket" that could be paid (in cash) right there for about a quarter of the face value (less if that's all you had or could convincingly play dumb).
But this is the same country where we paid about 300 pesos ($100 US) per week for "customs fees" on packages for 150-200 people (1-4 large mail sacks, 2-3' in diameter and about 5' tall) with nothing really getting opened or inspected IF we stopped and spent 12 pesos ($4 US) on a dozen "facturas" (sweet pastries).

One week we were running late, so we skipped getting the facturas and "for some strange reason", every package got inspected and the total kept adding till it got up to about $800 ($260US), at which point the mail clerk asked if we wanted to go get the facturas, we did and somehow the total "mysteriously" dropped down to $300 pesos again and off we went.

We also commonly saw the provincial police driving around in an apparently random fashion with 4-6 guys with shotguns, rifles or other weapons sitting on benches in the back of a diesel Ford Ranger with a lightbar going, just cruising down the street.
Looked like this, but with 4-6 guys in back:

It will be interesting to see how the population adapts to these changes.

The changes he wants to make are going to hurt a lot of people short term (those who depend on the state). I hope improvements like these will make those reforms possible, as Milei gains support and congressional representation.
