> El Salvador has 1 in 60 people in jail, up there with the worst of Stalinist Russian.
and the president has a 91 approval rate, consistent with what you'd expect when you go from the murder capital of the world to the safest country in central america
- rsynnott 1y agoThough, y'know, also consistent with Stalinist Russia. Generally, those sorts of approval ratings for an executive leader (you do see them sometimes for non-executive heads of state, though in that case they can be seen as less alarming) are a serious red flag; they're generally a dictatorship signal. No-one is _that_ popular.
- davidguetta 1y agoJust watch any documentary on el salvador. Its has nothing to do with Stalinist russia and you have to WANT to believe it to say such nonsense
