This shit has seriously gone on too long. People who continue to cling to the "10,000 dead crushed by tanks hosed i to the gutter" bs are cranks. It's jews control the banks, chemtrails, the earth is flat, the moon isn't real level of crank shit and unless you're feeling very indulgent and someone is asking in good faith it can be dismissed as equally serious to that kind of crank shit.

    Pretty much everything people believe about it isn't true, but nobody cares because it's aimed at bad country shrug-outta-hecks

    I'm still shocked they actually admitted Saddam's shredder wasn't real.

      The fact that most Americans just assume tank man got run over and killed even after seeing part of the video of it is what genuinely drives me insane. Like the rest of the video is readily available bro you can see him walk away

        That baffles me, because even when I was a turbolib I realized the whole point was that one guy was holding up the tanks. If they had just run him over, why would they have stopped?

        They said Saddam owned a woodchipper or big shredder that he would throw dissidents in to execute them and destroy the body.

          The moment I realized r/LateStageCapitalism had been ruined was when someone was unironically defending the Iraq War by referring to Saddam's shredder. In the old days that person would've been quickly banned.

          Imagine being the über despot murder lord as was portrayed and still needing to hide the bodies.
