Bukele Bashes Western World’s Decadence, Issues Warning for Upcoming Dark Times
President Nayib Bukele issued a warning about the path that the Western world is taking, highlighting that El Salvador could become a shelter for the upcoming “new dark age.” Before the United Nations (UN) General Assembly on Tuesday, Bukele highlighted the achievements of El Salvador in several aspects, including its gang battles, personal security, and tourism, contrasting it with the regression of the same conditions in the world, including social media censorship.
Bukele stated that now Salvadorans could be free in their streets, while in cities of the so-called free world, these have been taken by drugs, homelessness, and petty crime. Bukele also charged against countries that have censored their citizens on social media and even arrested them for their posts.
In this regard, he stated that due to the problems that El Salvador has already faced, he has been able to discern certain signs that point to an actual decadence of the world and an upcoming dark age.
He declared:
This acceleration means that we are approaching a dark turning point. We are facing a new dark era of humanity. As Salvadorans, we recognize these symptoms of decadence when we see them because we have been through them all.
Furthermore, Bukele stressed that while El Salvador could not curb the arrival of this, it could become a shelter for the times ahead. He concluded:
It may be too late to avoid the dark times facing our world today but it is not too late to build an ark and weather the storm. May God bless mankind.
