A far-right politician whose father was a Nazi will become Chile's next president, having run on anti-crime rhetoric.
Whenever a politician says "crime," they are promising violence. It's a protection racket: the more state violence, the more poverty; the more poverty, the more cartel activity.

There is nothing more despicable than those who choose to do harm to their neighbors in return for a paycheck.
Such people will do anything—tell any lie, commit any atrocity, wrest children from their parents.
