imho, the dictator term goes a bit far considering how democracy and justice has worked in balance in El Salvador and Bukele's presidency to address basic civil rights and security from extreme organized gang crime El Salvador is not a large developed country like the US that has the public resources and constitutional consistency to separate security surveillance measures from many other civil rights including privacy I appreciate the question. I'm more interested in solid examples of where Bukele's position as president with exceptional security and surveillance powers has violated Bitcoin-related and reasonable privacy rights to expect in context to El Salvadors policies on crime

Isn't the idea that he is using military / police to silence / control everyone?
its been a while, but i think that the concept of dictorship was also present/accepted in the antik greek period. if i remember correctly, philosophers justified the need for a dictator, who had a limited time of power and would then be expelled from the city/land. i remember that it worked and also dis not work. well. we will have to look back to this case in like 25 years. will be interesting. for now... you definitely earned some sats. maybe not for being right but for daring. highly appreciated! cheers
