@JERK:
lol, he didn't make you prosperous. A coup that took his money and used it to fund the state made you prosperous.
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, 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
If a western backed dictator hoards money for years of course it's going to be a lot. Are you seriously suggesting countries should undergo periodic economic collapse under hoarding dictators, so they can pig out when that dictatorship falls? Portugal was lucky. Very lucky. That you even had that money, and that it didn't get funneled through a million swiss banks right before the coup.
Salazar was doing it for the gain of the country, as unlikely as that sounds, he also developed our education, saved us from the war, 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.
Once again, I don't want another Salazar, as you said, human rights and all that crap, but it helped the country, this is a fact
It doesn't! It really doesn't! I mean even ignoring how gross a statement this is human rights wise that will only foster revolution.
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
Look at the OP world, Akainu can't go around murdering people until he gets lucky, there's not just pirates out there, there's a revolutionary army.
Who will gain mass support with Akainu policies going around.
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.
He doesn't walk in islands and kill everyone in his way, he's not a complete psychopath
He killed Ace because Ace was gonna get executed, he killed a Marine behind because, well, that has always been the policy of armies anyways, as I'm sure you know, and he killed the innocents in the boats with the mindset of saving the world from chaos
Another guy like this is Hannyabal, just look at the awful shit he's doing in that prison full of torture, 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
If policies are making the country poor and hungry and littered with innocent corpses, then it needs help.
Create a million problems to solve a million problems. Ridiculous.
Save 10000 by killing 10, its always been what Absolute Justice been about
