To clarify, I think Duterte has some of the worst combinations of personality traits in a leader. He seems intolerant, ignorant, mean and arrogant. He seems like a terrible person to be running a country.
He is unique tho and that what people loves about him(he is intolerant,ignorant mean and arrogant to those people that he don't like eg. Those who betray their country or its people)
On the other hand, I can see why he has popularity in the country - The Philipines has a very serious drug problem, and to the average voter, Duterte's strategy of "Killing all the drug users and vendors in cold blood" seems like a good idea. After all, it's an efficient way of ridding the country of the drug problem, right?
Wrong.
Media, fuck them tho, How pretty sure are you that it was him killing his people? His words was to only kill them if they fight back and FYI those unrecorded extrajudicial killings are clearly came from the drug syndicates them selves as quote "If the person died without the presence of the police why would you blame me? -duterte" and to be clear the average extrajud killing from US and phillippines are not that far.
Pretty much all modern research suggest that severe drug problems are a symptom of societal issues. There will undoubtably be reasons why so many people in the Philipines use and sell meth, for example, the main one being that there aren't many other ways of making good money. The leaders of countries need to start tackling the underlying social issues that cause the symptoms of drug addiction, rather than just trying to kill everyone involved. To a lesser extent, the same could be said of Western countries (UK/US etc) than imprison individuals for drug possession (Yeah, they're not killing them, but they are locking them up for victimless crimes).
They are not dead because they did not fight simple. and other FYI people in the philippines acts far different than people living in the western countries.
His tactics have huge problems, one of the most obvious being that innocent people can be shot in cold blood, then framed as drug users (with no real evidence apart from a hand written sign on their corpse telling people they took drugs... yeah sounds legit Cheesy). Another problem is that his violent massacre is taking out users as well as dealers.
How sure are you? I am from the philippines so i know it much better than you do. You also don't have any real evidence as well that there is no evidences.
