I mean El Salvador recently went with suspending individuals rights and mass incarcerating males to stop crime so I mean the two of them make sense in a way....

Both countries have a history of government atrocities under strongmen and the guise of traditional/conservative values.
The interested reader can search "El Mozote massacre" and "Argentina's Dirty War."
I am super skeptical of Latin American strongmen. Sometimes I get a paranoid thought if the estimated number of criminals in El Salvador was fudged to justify mass incarceration.

Strong men in any/every country bother me. I can't think of one who ever left office peacefully. Leaders who have transformed their country or came in with crazy support like Nelson Mandela for example I wouldn't call a strong man.

mass incarcerating males
I mean, every indication is that a high % of the entire El Salvadorian population really were criminals. They literally tattooed it on their faces. I don't see how you can complain about mass incarceration if a "mass" of people really are criminals.

Lets take a family. If one brother had the tattoo then his father, brothers, and all male children were arrested regardless of the age, health, or any other evidence. Not to mention there was never any trials, charges, etc. for a huge number of them.
