💯. Children, women, elderly, and anyone else physically weaker can once again walk the streets without fear of the strong men who did whatever they wanted ruining their lives.

can also do that in China. what’s your point?

Living in China would have been a wonderful improvement for the far majority of people living under gang violence in El Salvador, that’s the point.

I think we just disagree on the definition of freedom

No, we disagree about what other people should have to live under so we can be pompous about our ideological purity regarding freedom.

walking around clean streets without fear of being attacked does not mean you live in a free society. at all.

Walking around filth infested streets constantly in fear does mean you live in a failed society though. Only someone living in an ivory tower would prefer that for someone else.
