@SGraaize:
Yes, that's true, but he didn't use that money that he was saving for his personal gain, at least nothing ever documented that, he has been keeping that money probably for the country,
This is one of the most naive things I've ever read.
A dictator that never spent a cent of hoarded money on the state, must have been keeping it for the state???
Do you know what dictators do? They hoard money, and when they get chased out of the country, they have that money moved to a bank out of country and live their years in exile in luxury.
The fact that as soon as it was in the hands of a different regime and made the country prosperous should answer your question about this.
and in the end, the coup that took away the money from Salazar made the country 2 (3? 4?) times richer if Salazar didn't do all that hateful shit
So praise THEM.
Also explain to me how rich and prosperous Salazar's legacy has made his beloved imperial possessions in East Timor, Angola, and Mozambique.
Salazar was doing it for the gain of the country, as unlikely as that sounds,
Do you think I care?
Do I sound like someone who listens to that excuse when it tramples over people? Are my principles that cheap?
Do you not think even the US with it's democracy hasn't faced this issue? That post-9-11 America hasn't faced the issue of what we do for national security?
He also developed our education, saved us from the war,
lol, he saved you from the war because he didn't throw in with his fellow scum in the Axis. Same with your best buds next door. World War 2 ravaged countries like Belgium and Italy, but they passed by his goofy little State within a decade or so. To say nothing of West Germany and Japan.
I know that you have history behind you (I think you are a teacher, if I'm not mistaken), but seriously, everyone here in Portugal hates Salazar's guts, but everyone knows he did indeed help the country.
He did nothing a democratic non-fascist state couldn't achieve without the coast of his abuse.
The rest of us who didn't have dictatorships during the past century have done just fine thanks. Better in fact.
What do you mean? Haven't shit like this been done over and over again by pretty much every country? Sometimes, you need to sacrifice 100 to save 10000, you know far better than me how messed up but true this is
I know how messed up wrong it is. How believing this excuse is the green card to ethnic cleansing, massacres, and god knows what else you want to know about. Why do you think we put checks and balances on this shit?
Akainu never went exactly by luck, you could argue that he destroyed a ship full of innocents, but that was different, a buster call was called on that island and Akainu is of the belief that one scholar could create a gigantic chaos.
Which is why he's a terrible person. Most extremists beleive what they do. The 9-11 hijackers believed what they did. Hitler believed what he did.
Humans can rationalize, why should we treat them like babies if they rationalize themselves into attrocity supporters.
I don't excuse AGOG for beleiving what he beleives about a fictional character, why would I excuse people about what they beleive in this regard?
He doesn't walk in islands and kill everyone in his way, he's not a complete psychopath
You don't think Oda is setting up as anything else? loll
Oda chose to make his debut to the readers that civilian massacre. He expected like any normal person that we would react with horror to that action.
That is Akainu.
Which fucking side do you think Oda supports in the Marine schism? Do you seriously think the narrative is leaning toward the absolute justice?
He killed Ace because Ace was gonna get executed,
I'm not talking about Ace.
Another guy like this is Hannyabal, just look at the awful shit he's doing in that prison full of torture,
What awful stuff did Hannyabal do?
but he was of the firm belief that he was keeping the world safe from the worst pirates, and in the end, he was right
Excuses nothing.
Save 10000 by killing 10, its always been what Absolute Justice been about
This isn't some moral puzzle about pulling a switch, this is bigger and more complex then the black and white bullshit Akainu pulls.
