    I brought up Libya and got the response "yeah but have you seen that video or Gaddafi being crowned king of kings with a bunch of African kings there". Idk if it was an attempt to suggest he was an unhinged dictator or what

      To be fair, Gaddafi was an unhinged dictator.

      I've read the green book. It's not something a hinged person would write. My mans outlawed spectator sports.

      The Libyan civil war was a terrible tragedy, the NATO invasion of Libya was a vile crime and it's hard to imagine the people of Libya would not be better off with Gaddafi still alive and in charge.

        true, i should've worded my comment better. i meant that him being an unhinged dictator was brought up to excuse what nato did in libya

      The East Is A Podcast has done a couple of good episodes on Ghaddafi recently. In short, the guy is a mixed bag because he ultimately sold out to the imperialists and trusted them and was then literally raped to death in public on video by a mob as a result, with much of the progress he made in Libya over the decades undone in a few months.
