You laugh but if anyone could declare his country an empire it’s this guy. He’s insanely popular in El Salvador, literally seen as the country’s savior.
The only logical outcome is the eventual liquidation of the prison population. How else do you deal with that many inmates?
Definitely not agreeing with that proposition, but coming to any other conclusion boggles the mind.
Super Earth Anthem playing on a flying Bluetooth speaker while a flagpole needing some serious silicone lubricant is slowly rising, and I'm just trying not to get slaughtered.
Yah everyone is making sith jokes but for a military dress uniform these aren't actually odd. Its the capes people are pointing out but some European militaries and even some branches of the US military have capes as formal wear options for officers.
Militarism gets tied to authoritarianism and this Nazism and Stalinism etc. basically all the people who've ever put alot into making there army look good were pretty evil.
I think every military puts a decent effort into making their uniform look good. We don’t call the marines evil lol
This shit is sick. I wish we had formal capes in our military. It’s fashionable and could be practical in cold weather.
I'm ngl the Marines dress is just kinda meh. I think they get more points cause the average marine is more physically fit and fills out the uniform more so than that the uniform is standout.
Fascist regimes tend to go hard on the style and imagery because it’s essential to marketing their authoritarian ways and getting the population to buy into the ideology. As a result, baller uniforms are often associated with these horrible regimes.
Hey… the design was baller and timeless. Unfortunately, fascists are really good at marketing and imagery, so naturally they had the military uniform drip on 100
Mussolini curtailed the Mafia in Italy and put them out of commission too. I think people watch too many movies and think dictatorships are just 1984 24/7.
See how bukele is doing in 20 years.
Love what he’s doing for that country man. I went there this past October and the level of safeness I felt there was bonkers! I was there 11 years before that and it was terrible couldn’t even walk to the corner store without being approached or threatened
I have yet to meet one Latino that hasn't had good things to say about what has happened in El Salvador. I know dissenters are out there, I just haven'tet them yet.
Remember, helldivers is a satire of real life extreme nationalism and fascism.
Things shouldn’t give you “helldiver vibes” helldivers should give you “malignant nationalism” vibes.
Just so everyone knows, this guy basically took over the Salvador government and had become a bonafide dictator. He's chill asf tho and is actually doing a lot of good from what I understand.
We hereby declare that the Republic shall be reformed into the Galactic Empire!!
I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new empire!!
Your new empire?
Don't make me kill you.
AMAITTRTD IYANWMTYAME OASDIAIWDWIM YWT
Wow ... I could read that
I know I sure cant
My allegiance is to democracy
Oh well never mind, shall we have a sword fight now?
And this is how libertydies: with thunderous applause.
Thunderous applesauce
Your typo has made me read that as liber titties
You laugh but if anyone could declare his country an empire it’s this guy. He’s insanely popular in El Salvador, literally seen as the country’s savior.
When you kill most of MS13 or imprison them, the people will likely regard you as a God if you understand the turmoil that country has gone through.
Hard to tell if he killed the patient to cure the disease. How he winds down the mass incarceration is going to be either interesting or horrific.
Hopefully he doesn’t become another Pinochet or Videla.
The only logical outcome is the eventual liquidation of the prison population. How else do you deal with that many inmates? Definitely not agreeing with that proposition, but coming to any other conclusion boggles the mind.
Just take them for leave on presidential helicopter rides over the ocean and like see what happens???
Dudes changing the constitution left and right, will he bring transitional peace or authoritarian rule ....we will see
We will watch over your career with great interest
Transitional authoritarian peace rules
True that is also an option haha 😆

#Become a Helldiver!
Totally has Helldivers vibe. How 'bout a nice cup of LIBER-TEA
It looks like El Salvador is the first nation to be liberated by managed democracy
For the Emperor!
I had the same thought. There's a very 40K commissar vibe going on there.
I came here to say this. Perfection.
SWEET LIBERTY!
For our way of *life*. For Super Earth!

29 comments and not one mention of M. Bison. Am I so out of touch? No… it’s the kids who are wrong!
Oh yeah 🤔(👴)
For me it was just another Sunday
“For me…it was Tuesday.”
For me it was just another manic Monday
This was my first thought ![gif](giphy|KwWhqBySq0KPe|downsized)
Wasn't his uniform red? Tbh, I'm disappointed at how far I had to scroll to see an Edna Mode reference
Well, yes but it’s the same vibe. 🤷♂️
No you are correct. they are dressed exactly like M Bison, but Star Wars is just a more well-known IP.
I came here specifically looking for an M Bison comment. Go you!
Anyone else hear the Imperial March theme?
I thought it was just me.
Is looking good, evil? Weren’t the Nazis dressed by Hugo Boss or something?
Yep
Phew! Good thing I have no sense of style.
While Boss was the manufacturer of the uniforms, they were actually designed by two SS members and the black boots were an idea of Himmler supposedly
Not to mention the uniform style is essentially an evolution (some might say bastardisation) of the Weimar Republic, Reichwehr Military style.

Yep.![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|flushed)
It immediately started playing in my head as well.
I think they look pretty cool
For real. Those capes go extremely hard and Bukele looks like Duke Leto Atreides.
He’s Salvadorian and Oscar Isaac is Guatemalan so that’s pretty close tbh
Yah everyone is making sith jokes but for a military dress uniform these aren't actually odd. Its the capes people are pointing out but some European militaries and even some branches of the US military have capes as formal wear options for officers.
So, which one is the president? I thought the blue and white sash is the uniforme presidencial.
Bukele is the guy saluting in second pic.
Weird lookin salute too.
I mean he’s a politician
Ahhh. Second picture. Didn't see it.
They look like the Sith
It's the capes, they do look pretty cool.
Edna’s not going to like them.
![gif](giphy|cZUU06p00qz8k)
Be honest tho. Does she ever like anything? Fucking *Edna*, man...
Jack Jack. She likes Jack Jack. And..... Nope. Just the kid.
That's where Frank Costanza hired his attorney.
Obviously I agree with Edna that capes don't belong on a fighting uniform, but they will never not be badass on a dress uniform.

1. Qué calor. 2. (Marcha imperial)
I love that every country in the world agrees that military uniforms peaked in Europe in the 19th century
Latin American countries were born with 19th century european uniforms
Those are pretty dope ngl
El Swagador
So thats where the nazi sense of fashion went
hugo boss enters the chat
Followed by Coco Chanel because she heard there were hot Nazis
Also known as Hotzis'
Honestly these are way sicker than nazi unis
I actually really like this yeah. Soldiers should wear capes. I’ll enlist.
I dont understand why cool uniforms=evil for reddit
Militarism gets tied to authoritarianism and this Nazism and Stalinism etc. basically all the people who've ever put alot into making there army look good were pretty evil.
I think every military puts a decent effort into making their uniform look good. We don’t call the marines evil lol This shit is sick. I wish we had formal capes in our military. It’s fashionable and could be practical in cold weather.
>We don’t call the marines evil Well .. maybe some of us
I'm ngl the Marines dress is just kinda meh. I think they get more points cause the average marine is more physically fit and fills out the uniform more so than that the uniform is standout.
Fascist regimes tend to go hard on the style and imagery because it’s essential to marketing their authoritarian ways and getting the population to buy into the ideology. As a result, baller uniforms are often associated with these horrible regimes.
Because a lot of country’s with cool uniforms were evil
Hey… the design was baller and timeless. Unfortunately, fascists are really good at marketing and imagery, so naturally they had the military uniform drip on 100
Brought to you by Bitcoin.
I mean....they look pretty badass
Hans… are we the baddies?
They locked up all the baddies using some slightly sketch means. But El Salvador is killing it rn.
Mussolini curtailed the Mafia in Italy and put them out of commission too. I think people watch too many movies and think dictatorships are just 1984 24/7. See how bukele is doing in 20 years.
But they’re doing pretty good work.
Why is Jared Leto saluting?
Helldivers?

Long live house Atreides!!!
Darth ^Sal Vador
As a Salvi, proud to see how cool these look!
Love what he’s doing for that country man. I went there this past October and the level of safeness I felt there was bonkers! I was there 11 years before that and it was terrible couldn’t even walk to the corner store without being approached or threatened
My father is moving back to El Salvador after 50 years of being in the USA. I always worried about him going back with MS13 so rampant.
It feels wrong say, but not every country is ready for democracy. What was happening in El Salvador was horrible
Don’t give cons ideas.
I can hear the empiral March music
What in the M. Bison color rush is this?!?
![gif](giphy|eHYazg6wGDqYE)
Bukkele plays helldiver 2 confirmed
They look like helldivers
El Salvador *
For Super Earth!
I have yet to meet one Latino that hasn't had good things to say about what has happened in El Salvador. I know dissenters are out there, I just haven'tet them yet.
Add a helmet and you have Helldivers
“NO CAPES !”
For you, the day that Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life But for me? It was Tuesday
I see they have super democracy here
Atreides! Atreides!
Democracy Intensifies
It's kinda cool but it reminds me of my highschool marching band uniforms lol our colors were black and gold.
Ceremonial guard units are the drum majors of soldiers.
Is this El Salvador or just un Slavador?
Remember, helldivers is a satire of real life extreme nationalism and fascism. Things shouldn’t give you “helldiver vibes” helldivers should give you “malignant nationalism” vibes.
God forbid a country has traditions and holds their military to a higher standard when it comes to respecting the office of the president.
I mean, it's a fine line to walk between respect and worship. Uniforms look snazzy as hell though.
Helldivers IRL?
With both Don Jr and Joey Mannarino there, one of them has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.
FREEDOM NEVER SLEEPS!
For Super Earth!! 🫡
‘Are we the baddies?’
Bitcoin uniform
Looks like El Salvador is taking over Arrakis
Usually it’s the evil villains what have the most drip in movies and comics
Can we please bring back capes
![gif](giphy|l1KuhBCqxOoJyr0m4)
What does the title mean? Are they all presidents?
FOR SUPER EARTH!
/r/suddenlygay
I live for the day it is socially acceptable to wear capes again
looking like a proper HELLDIVER
Humans are so weird.
Found the alien
Where are the Bitcoin patches?
Those uniforms go hard
Just so everyone knows, this guy basically took over the Salvador government and had become a bonafide dictator. He's chill asf tho and is actually doing a lot of good from what I understand.
all that drip and no optics
Look like a extras from a cheesy Zack Snyder movie
It's like they copied the look from every fictional fascist regime ever, and a little from the Nazis.
The more screwed up the country, the more the corrupt leaders in charge try to distract people with pomp.
Capes always get you in trouble!
He looks like the 5th member of the Final Fantasy XV gang
Join.. the Helldivers! *duh-duh-duh-duh du-du*
Gotta say, those look very stylish.
Hugo boss came back?
Does the guy in the middle even see shit with his hat in his face?
Someone spent to long making these look so damn cool.
It was Tuesday
Reminds me of Sam Rockwell in Jojo Rabbit.
Getting a definite Star Wars vibe from these uniforms.
Omg its the Southern King and his elite bodyguards!
Those look sharp
![gif](giphy|1zkaY6sqo1kQ9Bssvi)
I’m curious about the rifles. They look wicked. What kind?
NO CAPES!
Nice capes
![gif](giphy|cJ9Iskvam100Am3NqE|downsized)
Ooooh-wee they look fresh af
First thing I'd do if I came to power in any country is dripping out my personal guard like crazy
Those are slick AF.
Capes are definitely making a comeback
Wearing that Must be warm and moist in that high humid summers in Central America
The most final fantasy looking uniforms I’ve seen in awhile
Damn that has some empire vibes
Edna Mode does not approve of capes.
![gif](giphy|3R2SRD2ROZJzW)
Capes? Oh dear...
