Question:
Below are news reports about speeches given by President of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte. Please identify which of the appeals (scapegoating, rhetoric of paranoia, rhetoric of authority, fallacy of moral equivalency etc) are being employed by Mr. Duterte in his quotes.
Mr. Duterte, the former mayor of Davao City, pledged to rid the country of drug dealers and drug users with a campaign of extrajudicial killings while on the campaign trail. "It is going to be bloody," he told a business group while campaigning in April. "I will use the military and the police to go out and arrest [criminals], hunt for them. They cause all our problems. And if they will offer a violent resistance, and thereby placing the lives of the law enforcers and the military whom I would task for a job to do, I will simply say, 'Kill them all and end the problem.'
He raised his rhetoric to a new level as president when he said what he would do to terrorists in a speech during the opening of a national sports tournament. Duterte ordered troops to kill fleeing Abu Sayaff Muslim militants behind a foiled attack in the province of Bohol and not bring them to him alive, calling the extremists "animals."
"If you want me to be an animal, I'm also used to that. We're just the same," Duterte said. "I can dish out, go down what you can 50 times over. If you present a terrorist when I'm in a foul mood, give me salt and vinegar and I'll eat his liver. It's true, if you make me angry."
President Rodrigo Duterte also saidLinks to an external site. that he would like to kill millions of drug addicts in the Philippines, defying international criticism of his country's bloody war on narcotics and escalating his brutal rhetoric with a reference to the Holocaust.
"Hitler massacred three million Jews," Mr. Duterte said after returning to the Philippines from a trip to Vietnam, understating the toll cited by historians, which is six million. "Now there is three million, there's three million drug addicts. There are. I'd be happy to slaughter them." Killing that number of drug users would "finish the problem of my country and save the next generation from perdition," he said.
Responding to expressions of alarm about the killings from the European Union and other international bodies, Mr. Duterte said Friday that the European Union's advisers on the issue were "pea-brained." He criticized European officials for finding fault with his government while not doing enough to help migrants fleeing war-torn Middle Eastern countries. "You allow them to rot, and then you're worried about the death of about 1,000, 2,000, 3,000?" he said. "I said I would be harsh and I warned everybody not to force my hand into it," Duterte said. "I have to do it to preserve the republic".
