    Current Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's aggressive tactics against drug lords and criminals in his role as mayor, and now as president in his national war on drugs, are similar to the character Moloch's arguments in Paradise Lost. Both Duterte and Moloch believe that war and violent tactics are acceptable responses to problems, even when others see more reasonable solutions. They do not consider the consequences of their actions but rather choose to address issues assertively and through force.

    Paradise Lost: The Devils Argument
    Current Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte presents an argument similar to
    that of the devil Moloch in Miltons Paradise Lost. Before he was president of the
    Philippines, Duterte was mayor of a city that once had the highest crime rate in the
    country. To solve this issue, he used vigilante death squads to eliminate alleged drug
    lords and criminals, and did not give them a fair trial. Though Dutertes method of
    reducing crime rate was successful, it earned him the nickname The Punisher. After
    being elected to presidency, Duterte has waged a national war on drugs and crime. Like
    Moloch, Duterte uses aggressive tactics in response to problems. They believe that war
    is an acceptable answer, even when there are other reasonable and more favorable
    solutions in their comrades point of view. Moloch and Duterte do not think or take into
    account the consequences of their actions, but rather prefer to address the issue
    assertively and forcefully.
