Comment on The Philippine vice president publicly threatens to have the president assassinated
Windex007@lemmy.world 11 months agoI mean, the Marcos dynasty has been assassinating political rivals for decades. It’s almost refreshing to see someone stop pretending assassinations aren’t the political reality in the Philippines.

She’s apparently the daughter of the previous president who’s been assassinating people left and right during his whole term.

Daughterte. Yeah her dad bragged about throwing people out of helicopters. He unleashed an insane War on Drugs which was cover to imprison or kill just about anyone.

There is allegedly some substance in it. Folks I’ve talked to in the Philippines who had relatives on drugs said things did improve massively and many stopped.

I’m coming from a perspective where drugs should be legal and regulated. So anyone being imprisoned or worse for drugs is sick to me. I’m glad some addicts got better, but at what cost?
