Source: Imperial core propaganda
Even in an alternate timeline where that's not just war propaganda, does this in any way justify fucking invading and destroying a country on another continent?
Uh huh.
Hey, who killed Gaddafi?
Was it an invading army?
How many NATO boots were on the ground?
Sure seems like a guy who was just building a socialist utopia, no notes, would have to do something pretty wild to prompt all the people getting free college educations and all basic needs guaranteed to try and kill him.
If you want to argue that he was better than the alternative, knock yourself out, but pretending decades of women lied about their victimization is fucking disgusting.
You don't need to lie about his crimes to point out NATO interventionism was purely self interested, that they didn't give a shit about his personal evils compared to his anti-imperialism and that his removal has been a disaster for the Libyan people, but you also don't need to pretend that his personal crimes are balanced out by his socialist reforms either.
Almost like it was instigated by US/UK interference after forcing them to give up their nuclear deterrence, as they have done and continue to do to Socialist and leftist governments in Latin America and Africa to justify invasion and intervention. This is nothing new.
Feel free to cite a source with evidence for those claims about Gaddafi btw. Afaik there are none aside from anonymous sources with no evidence, which is the most common way the US and its allies make propaganda.
Your reply was to my comment pointing out that the destabilization and then the invasion of Libya by NATO was wholly unjustified, as all imperial core invasions are. If you agree with that what are you even trying to argue about?
Yeah, bro, I'm sure the dictator with a cadre of all female bodyguards chosen for their looks (who there are individual testimonies of rape from) was on the up and up on consent.
Can't imagine why a Muslim nation that's barely done with a civil war with mass rape used as a tool by all sides isn't teeming with women and men that trust the West to protect them if they testify publicly, even if it they didn't consider it shameful to spreak of it at all.
But, hey, you're right, a socialist utopia's greatest weakness will always be some shitposting foreign spies. Just collapses public support immediately.
Can't possibly be all the rape and execution of dissidents.
