A little reminder, apparently Salvadorians are loving Bukele for this.

Let's see what they look like 2 years in. The Buchenwald picture was taken at liberation.

Edit - also as someone else pointed out, although the picture is from the El Salvador camp, it is NOT a picture of the same group of people discussed in the article. I did not know that when I posted.

It's a European tradition to spectate torture and execution for entertainment.

Reminder that before all this El Salvador was sweeping up anyone and I mean anyone they found on the street during their sweeps and throwing them in huge overcrowded cells to await mass trials without representation.
