But do you see how crazy that could sound? Despite a millennia of war, kleptocracy, and inequality the second-most, violent Central American country had no organized crime until after America exported gangs back to El Salvador? Gangs have exist everywhere, in every country far longer than america has been a country and there’s nothing unique about American gangs in spectrum of how they operate.

First off Salvadoran immigrants will tell you they are already hardened from the violence in El Salvador and the journey to the US. The US doesn’t make them hardened.

Second, the Salvadoran civil war is not only 40 years ago (old, old gs 😉) they were colonized for four hundred years by the Spanish and had like 20 brutal regime changes or bloody paramilitary events even before the US civil war.

Yes the US eventually picked a SINGLE side in El Salvador after there was like 10 different government changes, sometimes encouraged or propelled by neighboring counties who thy were also in conflict with in the late 1970s, but the US was also at risk of destabilization due to massive immigration waves and Cold War anti-communism priorities.
