    Representing social actors
    Who is called the coolest dictator president in the world? He is Nayib Bukule. Nayib Bukule was elected the winner in the general election in El Salvador. Why is he called the coolest dictator in the world, because he dared to break the ideology of a populist in the country. And reduce the number of violence in his country. The role of the dictator is not for negative things but for positive things such as the struggle against gangs in his country and the result of that struggle is a decrease in criminal acts.

    Representing social action
    The role of the dictator is not for negative things but for positive things such as the struggle against gangs in his country and the result of that struggle is a decrease in criminal acts. The increasing security figures in El Salvador made the New Ideas party win 54 seats in congress out of 60. The 42-year-old leader is known for fighting crime and gangsters in El Salvador. It is not easy to fix something that is not good, but his persistence in fighting it deserves to be appreciated. The result is that he became president in his country and was dubbed the coolest dictator president in the world. His dictatorship is not towards negative things but towards positive things.

    Using Norman Fairclough's framework, the analysis of this text reveals:
    1. Text (Description)
    Bukele is portrayed as a popular yet controversial leader. He is recognized for his success in reducing gang violence but is also accused of anti-democratic reforms, such as manipulating the electoral system. His humorous communication style ("coolest dictator") appeals, especially to younger audiences.
    2. Discourse Practice (Interpretation)
    The text reflects a balanced media narrative, highlighting Bukele's achievements while criticizing his authoritarian policies. His populist style is crafted to resonate with an international audience, particularly millennials.
    3. Socio-Cultural Practice (Explanation)
    In the context of El Salvador, Bukele symbolizes global populism, prioritizing effectiveness, such as reducing violence, at the expense of democratic norms. His branding as a "dictator" demonstrates his skill in leveraging media to reinforce his image, though it risks normalizing authoritarianism.
    Bukele exemplifies a populist leader who garners public support through practical successes but raises concerns about the erosion of democratic principles.

    The video is about a man who is trying to find a job. He has been unemployed for a while and is getting desperate. He finally gets an interview and is asked about his experience in the field. The man lies about his experience and gets the job. He soon realizes that he is in over his head and is not able to do the job. He is eventually fired and ends up back on the street.

    This video is a cautionary tale about the dangers of lying on a job application. It is important to be honest about your experience and skills when applying for a job. If you are not qualified for the job, you are more likely to be fired or unhappy in the role.

    In addition to the main story, the video also explores the theme of class and social mobility. The main character is from a working-class background and is struggling to find a good job. He is eventually able to get a job, but it is not a good one. This highlights the challenges that working-class people face in today's society.

    Overall, this is a well-made video that raises important issues about class, social mobility, and the importance of being honest in your job applications.

    In my opinion, this video is about Nayib Bukele is the president of El Salvador who calls himself the “world's coolest dictator”. Bukele is a populist who won re-election in February 2024 with a majority of votes. He is known for his fight against gangs in El Salvador, which has led to a reduction in violence. However, Bukele has also been accused of undemocratic actions, such as implementing electoral reforms that favor his party.
    The CDA framework that can be used to analyze this video is the “Critical Discourse Analysis” (CDA) framework. This framework is used to analyze how language is used to shape and maintain power.
    In this video, Bukele uses language to build his image as a strong and effective leader. He uses emotional and persuasive rhetoric to persuade the public to support him. He also uses language to attack his political opponents and to justify his controversial actions.
    CDA analysis of this video shows that Bukele uses language to establish and maintain his power. He uses emotional and persuasive rhetoric to persuade the public to support him. He also uses language to attack his political opponents and to justify his controversial actions.

    I analyze the video employs one of CDA Framework, that is Fairclough's Three-Dimensional Model:

    1. Text Analysis: The phrase "coolest dictator in the world" uses provocative and ironic language to portray Bukele as a unique leader. There is a juxtaposition between his overwhelming electoral success (84.7% votes) and critiques of electoral reforms, with a tone blending facts and critical perspectives.

    2. Discursive Practice: The video is framed for a global audience, combining information and debate. It references popular terms like “global elite” and “fake media,” common in populist narratives.

    3. Social Practice: The narrative highlights tensions between populist approaches and democratic norms, showcasing Bukele’s innovative but controversial leadership, reflecting a global trend in populist politics.

  10. Sifahu Laela 221230113 tbi 5d
    Three dimensions can be used to assess Bukele's statement using Fairclough's CDA Framework:
    Text: By fusing a negative term ("dictator") with a positive one ("coolest"), Bukele's phrase "coolest dictator" rebrands authoritarianism in a more appealing, contemporary manner. He presents himself as a populist outsider who targets the media, bureaucrats, and the world's elite.
    Discursive Practice: He uses populist rhetoric in his speech at the CPAC conference, drawing a "us vs. them" narrative that pits common people against dishonest elites. Audiences that have lost faith in conventional political institutions will find this appealing.
    Bukele’s discourse strategically repositions dictatorship as modern and appealing, using populist rhetoric to target elite power structures. His language helps legitimize his leadership by portraying himself as a defender of the people, while simultaneously undermining established political norms.







    Social Practice: In terms of politics, Bukele's rhetoric mirrors his authoritarian policies in El Salvador, which he justified as necessary and successful in combating a democratic system that was collapsing. His rhetoric promotes authoritarianism as a feasible answer, undermining democratic norms.

  13. Theo van Leeuwen's framework for analyzing social actors and social actions provides a valuable lens to understand Nayib Bukele's rise as the president of El Salvador, often dubbed "the coolest dictator in the world."

    Representing Social Actors
    Nayib Bukele is portrayed as a transformative figure who redefines the term "dictator" in a positive light. In traditional discourse, a dictator is often associated with oppressive governance. However, Bukele's representation challenges this notion. He is seen as a pragmatic leader who, despite his authoritarian style, prioritizes societal safety and welfare. His actions, such as combating gang violence and reducing crime, have cast him as a figure of hope and reform rather than repression. By positioning himself against the ideology of populism and conventional governance in El Salvador, he portrays himself as a disruptor willing to take bold steps for the country's future.

    Representing Social Actions
    Bukele's initiatives are framed as proactive and results-driven. His crackdown on gangs, which had previously dominated much of El Salvador's social and economic landscape, is emphasized as a central achievement. The significant reduction in crime is used as evidence to justify his methods and validate his governance style. The narrative aligns his "dictatorship" with positive social outcomes, emphasizing order, security, and progress.

    Additionally, the New Ideas party's sweeping victory in congress, securing 54 out of 60 seats, demonstrates widespread public approval of his leadership. The social action here reflects collective trust in Bukele's vision, despite concerns about the centralization of power.

    Reevaluation of "Dictatorship"
    In Bukele's context, "dictator" becomes a complex label, blending authoritarian methods with populist outcomes. His persistence in addressing long-standing issues, like crime and gang control, reframes dictatorship as a necessary strategy for national transformation. However, this framing also invites critical discussions on the potential risks of unchecked power and the balance between positive outcomes and democratic principles.

    Bukele's leadership is a case study of how social actors and actions can be represented to redefine traditional political labels and narratives. It exemplifies how effective communication and visible results can reshape public perceptions of controversial governance styles.

    The video accessible via the link https://youtu.be/4uOIEUmIpKI discusses Nayib Bukele, the newly elected President of El Salvador, who was elected in February 2024. In the video, Bukele refers to himself as "the coolest dictator in the world" and shares his views in front of conservatives at the CPAC conference outside Washington, D.C.

    Analysis Using CDA Framework

    1. Power Dynamics
    - Bukele positions himself in a place of power by calling himself a "dictator." This reflects how he wants to be perceived by the public and can serve to consolidate support among his followers.

    2. Discursive Strategies
    - In his speech, Bukele uses terms like "unelected bureaucrats" and "fake media" to attack political opponents and the media. This is a rhetorical strategy to build his image as a defender of the people against elites he perceives as harmful.

    3. Social Context
    - Bukele speaks to a conservative audience, indicating that he targets specific groups with messages that resonate with their concerns about globalism and elitism. This shows a deep understanding of his audience and how to influence them.

    4. Ideological Stance
    - By adopting populist rhetoric, Bukele seeks to align himself with the anti-establishment movements that are growing in many Latin American countries. He emphasizes his significant electoral victory (84.7%) to strengthen the legitimacy of his government.

    5. Legitimization Tactics
    - Mentioning the election results and substantial support from the public helps Bukele build a narrative that he is a legitimate leader backed by the people. However, criticism regarding electoral reforms deemed undemocratic highlights a tension between legitimacy and his political practices.

    This analysis illustrates how Bukele uses language and communication strategies to construct his public image, maintain power, and influence public opinion within the current political context of El Salvador.

    To examine the video titled "Sosok Presiden El Salvador yang Menjuluki Dirinya sebagai 'Diktaktor Terkeren di Dunia'" through one of the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) frameworks, we will implement Norman Fairclough's three-dimensional model. This model consists of three analytical levels: text, discursive practice, and social practice.

    1. Textual Analysis
    Content and Language:

    In the video, El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele is showcased, highlighting his claim to be the "coolest dictator in the world."
    The language is casual and somewhat edgy, intended to grab attention and stimulate thoughts on his approach to leadership.
    Visual and Auditory Elements:

    The visuals feature Bukele at various public events, often depicted engaging confidently with people and the media.
    The background music and voice-over enhance the overall impression of Bukele as a dynamic and unconventional leader.

    2. Discursive Practice
    Production and Distribution:

    A news organization produces the video, which is made available on YouTube, suggesting it is meant for wide viewing and ease of sharing.
    It merges news reporting with entertaining features, creating a blend of journalism and infotainment.
    Intertextuality:

    The video makes references to both national and global media portrayals of Bukele's actions and remarks.
    It aligns with existing stories about authoritarianism and populism in today's politics, creating a contrast between Bukele's self-portrayal and traditional concepts of dictatorship.

    3. Social Practice
    Context and Ideology:

    Bukele’s leadership style is framed within El Salvador's socio-political environment, characterized by crime and economic difficulties.
    His portrayal as a “cool dictator” challenges standard ideas about dictatorship, presenting a newer, more relatable, and media-savvy interpretation of authoritarianism.
    Power Relations:

    The video illustrates and strengthens Bukele’s mastery over his public persona, emphasizing his use of media to influence public perceptions.
    It also highlights the conflict between democratic principles and authoritarian inclinations in modern governance.

    Conclusion
    By applying Fairclough's CDA framework, we can see that the video about President Nayib Bukele not only educates viewers on his distinctive self-presentation but also interacts with broader discussions regarding leadership, media impact, and political authority. This multi-layered analysis uncovers how media portrayals can influence and mirror political situations and public viewpoints.

    Using Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework, here’s a simplified analysis:
    1. What is said (Text):
    Bukele refers to himself as "the coolest dictator in the world," humorously addressing criticisms. He warns about "unelected bureaucrats," "dishonest media," and "global elites," framing himself as a leader standing against corruption and elite control.
    2. How it is said (Discursive practice):
    Delivered at a CPAC conference, Bukele uses humor, boldness, and populist rhetoric. This strategy aligns him with conservative values and emphasizes his anti-establishment stance, appealing to both local and international audiences.
    3. Why it is said (Social practice):
    Bukele's statements reflect a global trend where populist leaders challenge traditional systems, using relatable language to connect with people and gain legitimacy. The use of irony helps him reshape the term "dictator" into something modern and appealing.
    Comment: Bukele’s speech shows how leaders use humor and populist language to deflect criticism, connect with their audience, and strengthen their leadership image.

    Here are the analysis using Theo Van Leeuwen's CDA framework :
    1. Inclusion
    In this news, the main actor explicitly presented is Nayib Bukele.
    Bukele is portrayed as a "millennial with a bold disruptor mentality," a populist leader, and the "coolest dictator." This identity supports both positive and ambivalent narratives about him. It is mentioned that he won 84.7% of the votes and is "very popular" in El Salvador due to his success in reducing gang-related violence. His party's (New Ideas) achievement of securing a majority of seats in Congress marks his political dominance.
    2. Representation
    1. Bukele:
    Bukele is represented ambivalently. He is praised as a brave, innovative leader who has successfully reduced violence. However, he is also depicted as an authoritarian figure who allegedly manipulates the political system. The phrase "coolest dictator" shows irony, combining a positive attribute (cool) with a negative term (dictator), which can reinforce the impression that he is a controversial leader.
    2. New Ideas:
    This party is described as dominant and successful, but the implication of its success seems to be aided by controversial reforms. This suggests that this party may not be fully democratic in its operations.
    3. Critics and Media:
    Bukele's critics and the media, which he refers to as "fake news" (according to Bukele), are represented negatively or only briefly. This reflects a narrative bias leaning towards Bukele's perspective.

    The video at https://youtu.be/4uOIEUmIpKI appears to be a news report or analysis about Nayib Bukele, the President of El Salvador who recently won his re-election with an overwhelming majority (84.7%).

    1. Power Dynamics and Ideology
    Populist Rhetoric: The video highlights how Bukele positions himself as a "diktactor terkeren" (the best dictator), which reflects populist rhetoric aimed at challenging traditional power structures and ideologies. This self-labeling can be seen through the lens of CDA as a strategy to mobilize support by appealing to emotions rather than rational argumentation.

    2. Critique of Institutions
    Anti-Bureaucratic Sentiment: Bukele's warning against bureaucrats and fake media during the CPAC conference indicates a critique of institutional authority. In CDA terms, this could represent a challenge to dominant discourses that legitimize bureaucratic systems and mainstream media narratives.

    3. Global Elite Criticism
    Antiglobalization Stance: His mention of “globalism coming to die” suggests an antiglobalist stance, which aligns with populist sentiments often directed towards perceived elites and international institutions. This criticism fits within CDA’s framework for analyzing how discourse shapes perceptions of power relations globally.

    4. Democratization Concerns
    Reform Controversies: Critics have accused Bukele of undemocratic actions, including electoral reforms that allegedly favor his party, New Ideas. From a CDA perspective, these allegations highlight issues around democratic legitimacy and the manipulation of political processes for partisan gain.

    By examining these elements through various CDA lenses—such as critical linguistics, ideological analysis, and power-knowledge dynamics—it becomes clear that the video presents complex interplays between ideology, power struggles, and democratization concerns surrounding Nayib Bukele’s presidency in El Salvador.

    we can focus on several key aspects: context, power relations, ideologies, and representation. We will apply these elements to both videos to uncover the underlying messages and implications. In summary, both videos illustrate different aspects of power, ideology, and representation within their respective contexts.

    Nayib Bukele's speech reflects a populist and anti-globalist ideology, using provocative language to consolidate power and appeal to a specific audience. His self-identification as a "dictator" challenges traditional democratic norms and emphasizes a strong leadership style.

    Nuril Ani's presentation showcases a progressive approach to education, emphasizing collaboration, innovation, and student engagement. Her focus on blended learning and professional development highlights the importance of adapting to contemporary educational needs. Both analyses reveal how discourse shapes perceptions and influences social dynamics, whether in politics or education.

    To analyze this video about Nayib Bukele's self-identification as "the coolest dictator in the world" and his statements at the CPAC conference using “Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA)” framework, we’ll focus on the three key dimensions: text analysis, discursive practice, and social practice
    1. Text Analysis : This stage focuses on the linguistic and semiotic features of the discourse, such as vocabulary, tone, and imagery.
    a. Vocabulary and Grammar: The phrase "diktator terkeren di dunia" carries a paradoxical mix of authoritarian connotation "dictator" and a playful or self-deprecating undertone "coolest". Bukele's reference to "birokrat yang tidak terpilih," "media yang tidak benar," and "elite global" leverages populist rhetoric, common in anti-establishment narratives.
    b. Style and Tone: The self-labeling as a "cool dictator" may use humor or irony to neutralize potential criticism and deflect attention from accusations of authoritarianism. The tone at CPAC is serious, warning of systemic threats, indicating a calculated switch between humor and gravity depending on the audience.
    c. Visual and Auditory Elements: Bukele's appearance, gestures, and surroundings at the CPAC conference likely reinforce his populist image. For instance, a casual yet confident demeanor might appeal to both conservative and younger audiences.
    2. Discursive Practice : This level looks at the production, distribution, and consumption of the discourse.
    a. Production: The video reflects Bukele's strategic framing of his leadership. By calling himself a "cool dictator," he co-opts a term critics might use pejoratively and reframes it positively, appealing to both domestic and international audiences. His speech at CPAC aligns with the values of the conservative, anti-globalist audience.
    b. Intertextuality: Bukele's warnings about unelected bureaucrats and dishonest media resonate with common themes in conservative rhetoric globally, particularly in the U.S. and Europe. His framing draws on existing anti-globalist and anti-elite narratives.
    c. Audience: Domestically, this discourse may bolster his image as a strong, unconventional leader defending national sovereignty. Internationally, particularly at CPAC, he positions himself as a figure aligned with conservative and populist movements.
    3. Social Practice : This stage places the discourse in a broader sociopolitical context, examining its role in shaping or challenging power relations.
    a. Power and Ideology: Bukele’s framing as a "cool dictator" disrupts traditional criticisms of authoritarianism by making it appear modern, relatable, and even aspirational. This minimizes the perceived threat of his centralized control while maintaining an image of strength. His rhetoric about "unelected bureaucrats" and "global elites" aligns with global populist movements challenging the perceived overreach of international organizations and media.
    b. Historical and Sociopolitical Context: In El Salvador, Bukele’s presidency has been marked by controversy, including his crackdown on gangs and centralization of power. His international appearances, like at CPAC, serve to reframe his actions as necessary for stability and security. His rhetoric also reflects broader global conservative trends, emphasizing nationalism, anti-globalism, and skepticism of traditional media.
    c. Impact: For supporters, Bukele’s discourse strengthens his populist appeal and positions him as a global conservative icon. Critics may view his statements as a dangerous normalization of authoritarianism, cloaked in humor and relatability. The narrative could influence political discussions beyond El Salvador, fostering acceptance of similar leadership styles in other contexts.

    Critical Discourse Analysis of "Sosok Presiden El Salvador yang Menjuluki Dirinya sebagai "Diktaktor Terkeren di Dunia"" using Foucault's Framework
    Foucault's Framework and Key Concepts
    Michel Foucault, a prominent French philosopher, developed a framework for analyzing power dynamics and discourse. His key concepts relevant to this analysis include:
    • Power: Power is not simply repressive but productive, shaping subjects and knowledge.
    • Discourse: Discourse is a system of thought composed of ideas, practices, and institutions that shape how we understand the world.
    • Subject: Subjects are formed through discourse and power relations, and they occupy specific positions within these structures.
    Analysis of the Video
    The video presents Nayib Bukele, the President of El Salvador, as a controversial figure who has been labeled a "dictator" by some. The discourse surrounding Bukele is complex and multifaceted, reflecting the interplay of power, knowledge, and ideology.
    1. The Construction of the "Strongman" Leader
    • Power and Knowledge: The video portrays Bukele as a strong, decisive leader who has taken decisive action against gangs. This narrative is reinforced by the media coverage and public opinion, which often associates strength with effective leadership.
    • Subject Formation: Bukele is constructed as a subject who embodies the ideal of the strongman leader. This construction is facilitated by the media's focus on his decisive actions and his populist rhetoric.
    2. The Challenge to Democratic Norms
    • Power Relations: The video highlights Bukele's controversial actions, such as the reform of the electoral system and the crackdown on dissent. These actions challenge democratic norms and raise concerns about the erosion of civil liberties.
    • Discourse and Ideology: The discourse surrounding Bukele's actions is often polarized, with supporters praising his leadership and critics condemning his authoritarian tendencies. This polarization reflects the underlying ideological divisions within El Salvador and the broader region.
    3. The Role of the Media
    • Power and Representation: The media plays a crucial role in shaping public opinion and constructing political narratives. The video suggests that the media's coverage of Bukele has been biased, often focusing on his popularity and his tough stance on crime.
    • Discourse and Truth: The media's representation of Bukele can be seen as a form of truth production, shaping how people understand his policies and his impact on society.

    Foucault's Discourse Analysis

    Michel Foucault's theory of discourse focuses on how power, knowledge, and social relationships are formed through language and discourse. Foucault sees discourse as a way to understand how information is conveyed and received within a specific social context, and how it shapes identities and power structures. Here are some key steps to analyze a video using Foucault’s approach:

    1. Identify the Discourse
    - Questions to consider: What are the main themes discussed in the video? What is being talked about, and how is it framed? Try to identify the dominant discourse in the video.
    - The discourse could involve the way a specific subject (e.g., politics, social issues, or culture) is talked about. Foucault is interested in how this discourse creates the "truth" or reality that is accepted by society.

    2. Power and Knowledge
    - Questions to consider: Who holds authority in the video? How is power structured through speech or representation? Who is represented, and who might be excluded or marginalized?
    - Foucault argues that knowledge is always connected to power. Look at who controls the information in the video and how this affects our understanding of the subject being discussed.
    3. Structure of Discourse
    - Questions to consider: How is the information in the video structured? Is there a hierarchy or certain organization in the way the information is presented?
    - Pay attention to how the discourse is structured. Are there patterns in the way people speak or how information is presented? Are there particular divisions or categories that shape how we think about the topic?

    4. Social Construction and Identity
    - Questions to consider: How are individuals or groups represented in the video? What kind of identities are being constructed through this discourse?
    - Foucault also focuses on how social identities are constructed through discourse. Is there a particular representation of groups or individuals that could be questioned? For example, are stereotypes or certain ideologies being formed through the discourse in the video?

    5. Norms and Social Practices
    - lQuestions to consider: How are social norms or practices maintained or challenged in the video? Are there any norms enforced through the way speech or visuals are used in the video?
    - Foucault shows how social norms are created and upheld through discourse. In the video, are there any efforts to challenge or reinforce these norms, or are they simply upheld without question?

    6. Critique of Discourse
    -Questions to consider: What underlying messages or assumptions are present in the discourse shaped by the video? Is there a way to uncover aspects that are left unspoken or sidelined in the discourse?
    - Foucault often focuses on how discourse can be used to control or normalize behavior. Look for ways to challenge or critique the discourse presented in the video. What assumptions are made, and how do they shape the audience’s perception?


    Example of Application:
    If the video discusses a specific social or political issue, you can analyze who controls the narrative in the video, how information is presented to the audience, and how it relates to structures of power or certain identities. You might also want to question what is not said in the video and how this shapes the understanding or perception of the topic.

    If you can provide more details about the video or specific quotes from it, I can help with a more specific analysis using Foucault’s discourse theory.

    The video "The Figure of the President of El Salvador Who Calls Himself the Coolest Dictator in the World" is analyzed using Norman Fairclough's CDA framework, which includes three dimensions. In text analysis, Nayib Bukele uses humor and a relaxed style to create an image that is modern and close to society, different from the negative stigma of traditional dictators. In discursive practice, this video shows how Nayid Bukele uses social media to build a positive narrative, attracting the younger generation, even though controversial policies such as controlling the law and eradicating crime are hidden behind this image. In social practice, this discourse normalizes the term "dictator" which has a negative history in Latin America, packaging authoritarianism in a modern and progressive image. This strategy is effective for building public support, but it also risks masking the serious impacts of authoritarian policies, requiring critical evaluation from society.

    Here are some of my thoughts on this video, based on the CDA framework:

    • Representation: This video shows two sides of Nayib Bukele. On the one hand, he succeeded in reducing the crime rate in El Salvador, but on the other hand, he was considered an authoritarian and undemocratic leader.

    • Ideology: This video reinforces populist ideology and anti-globalism by depicting Bukele as a leader who opposes global forces and represents the interests of the people.

    • Power: Bukele uses social media to communicate directly with the people and build a strong support base, thereby increasing his power.

    • Identity: This video highlights Bukele's identity as a brave and controversial leader who is different from previous leaders.

    Overall, this video paints a complex picture of Nayib Bukele and his government as a controversial and polarizing figure who achieved significant results.

    (I'm sorry mrs.tia for sending the answer late, the previous days I didn't have mobile data to send it)

    The title of this video, 'The President of El Salvador Who Calls Himself the "Coolest Dictator in the World"', is interesting because of the use of the word 'dictator' which is synonymous with authoritarian power, but paired with the word 'coolest' which has a positive and relaxed connotation. This shows how language is used to create tension between authoritarian power and the modern or progressive image that President Bukele wants to build. From a text analysis perspective, this choice of words can be seen as an attempt to deconstruct the image of the 'dictator' which has been viewed negatively to be more acceptable to young people and the global community.

    In terms of discursive practices, this video uses humorous and satirical narratives to attract attention, but this also has the potential to obscure the serious context of Bukele's controversial policies, such as the crackdown on gangs and the use of Bitcoin as an official currency. In this case, we need to question whether media such as Kompas present this story in a balanced way, or whether it actually makes it easier to build a positive image for a tough leader, through a lighter and more entertaining framing.

    From a social practice perspective, such a phenomenon could be part of a global trend in which authoritarian leaders use digital media to build a populist image that is ‘cool’ and ‘close to the people.’ Bukele, with his often controversial communication style, could be an example of ‘soft authoritarianism,’ in which authoritarian power is disguised with an approach that is more easily accepted by the public.

    The video analyzing the figure of Nayib Bukele, President of El Salvador, can be analyzed using the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework. CDA focuses on the relationship between language, power, and ideology within a social context.
    Analysis Using CDA
    Social Context: Bukele claims to be "the world's coolest dictator," highlighting his position of power within a broader political context, especially amid dissatisfaction with the bureaucracy and media. This reflects a populist strategy common among Latin American leaders.
    Language and Rhetoric: The use of terms such as "unelected bureaucrats" and "fake media" indicates an attempt to build an image as a defender of the people against the elite. This creates a dichotomy between "the people" and "the elite," positioning Bukele as a hero.
    Ideology: Bukele adopted a populist ideology by emphasizing his fight against violence and gangs, which strengthened public support. However, criticism of his undemocratic actions showed ambivalence in his narrative of power.
    Representation and Identity: In the video, Bukele is portrayed as a bold young leader, creating a positive image among his supporters. However, his controversial actions raise questions about legitimacy and democracy.
    This analysis shows how language is used to shape public perception and construct political identity in the context of power.

    Nayib Bukele, the President of El Salvador, is known for his unconventional leadership style and controversial statements, such as calling himself the "coolest dictator in the world." This statement is part of his communication strategy to counter international criticism while strengthening his connection with supporters.

    During the CPAC conference in the U.S., Bukele warned about the threats posed by unelected bureaucrats, dishonest media, and global elites. His firm leadership style, including tough policies against criminal gangs, has earned praise for reducing crime but also criticism for alleged human rights violations. Bukele seeks to bolster his image as a leader challenging the global status quo.

    1. Identity and Leadership Style:
    - Bukele called himself "the coolest dictator," projecting a confident and modern image. This attracts support from the younger generation and conservatives.

    2. Rhetoric and Language:
    - He used language that emphasized nationalism and anti-globalism, creating a narrative of a battle between local and global forces. Statements about a "courageous mentality" emphasized his image as an innovative leader.

    3. Power and Controversy:
    - Despite his success in reducing violence, undemocratic actions such as electoral reforms that favor his party show a consolidation of power that could undermine democracy.

    4. Social Impact:
    - The success of the "New Ideas" party shows widespread support for Bukele, but also raises concerns about the future of democracy in El Salvador.

    In my view
    Bukele's leadership reflects the dynamic between populism and democracy. Despite progress in addressing violence, undemocratic practices must be watched. The discourse Bukele built highlights the power of rhetoric in politics, but the responsibility to maintain democratic principles remains important. Populism can bring positive change, but it also poses risks to democratic institutions.
