What's causing an increase in crime that's making LatAm drift to the right? (hexbear.net)

I looked a little bit at why far-right politicians are so popular in Latin America and every time I read that there was an increase in violent crime the past years and now everyone wants to copycat Nayib Bukele. Why did crime increase in the first place?

https://hexbear.net/u/black_mold_futures was a poster who would post in hard to parse style about various news topics using a lot of silly vocabulary like "DSA PMC karens" and whatnot, but they tended to be pretty funny because of the absurdity. They kept getting banned for sectarianism and went through a few accounts here before finally leaving for good, but they've been immortalized into early site lore.
