Huh but Lemmy was so in favour of these prisons months ago when they thought it was only housing bad El Salvadoran gang members and not also thousands of innocent people swept up in mass arrests/trials without representation.

But I guess they only care now that it might be Americans being placed in them.

Let's start with this great comment by @[email protected], so you don't just think it's me thinking Lemmy acts fucking disgusting when it comes to El Savladors current law enforcement bullshittery.

Wow the commentors here are disgusting. Innocent people get locked up so kids dont have their parents anymore because a psychopath of a president randomly locks people up. And they argue “Well its safer now so its fine”. The comments are worse than on many reddit posts.

That all said…

El Salvador was intensely dangerous and bordering on a failed state - it seems to be stabilizing under these actions.

On one hand you have this on the other hand El Salvador turned from one of the most dangerous countries in the region to one of the safest.

It’s really hard to pass judgement when the safety and stability of the society has improved so drastically in such a short time.

Having said that it does seem like a lot of them were guilty and crime has massively decreased. So from a purely good of the state and reducing crime seems like a good thing.

It’s really hard to pass judgement when the safety and stability of the society has improved so drastically in such a short time.

Of course innocents will have gotten caught up, but this isn’t a situation like in the US of police over-enforcing crime statues on certain minorities. The entire country was a puppet state of extremely violent gangs. People have fled by the tens of millions.

If the left wing politicians didn’t want a right winger seizing all this power, they could have done something too but they let themselves be corrupted by the gangs, so someone else had to do it.

Lemmy supports El Salvadors prison abuse because 'if you ignore the abuse, wow the results!. It only seems to be an issue when it's Americans being sent there now.
