The US supported Saddam Hussein and put him in power- until they got tired of him, then they waged a war and lied about WMD (remember “underground mobile bunkers anyone?) then they found him hiding in a hole in the ground and just killed him. The US is a terrorist state. Love to see the US trillion dollar debt payments go intergalactic in scale. Can’t wait to see it fail even more as a country.

Please be advised that the dollar failing is inevitable, and entire US financial system is based on DEBT with one inevitable conclusion. World financial system, really, with tentacles everywhere on Earth.

The collapse is when they can purchase more land/assets at bottom dollar. Rinse and repeat since 1911

Yours Truly,

A conglomeration of international banking interests around since the 1800s (look at Deutsche Bank, for example, or JP Morgan)

"Saddam Hussein in heaven" 🧐

This IS the BAD PLACE! 😱

Bees! Bees! Bees!

I can't unhear South Park Saddams Voice

If an advanced civilization in the future figures out a way to scan the minds of all sentient beings and put them in an afterlife simulation, then it'll probably work like The Good Place after they fixed the issues with the system, and this guy would absolutely still be stuck in the purgatories, not yet a better person.

[–] Holyginz@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago (3 children)

That fucker would be nowhere near heaven, let's be real.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

He could have prayed to Jesus right before dying, though! As long as he really means it

Sorry, I don't make the goofy ass heaven rules, take it up with the magic bird

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hard disagree. God loves genocidal maniacs, he himself is one.

[–] how_we_burned@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

God loves genocidal maniacs

To paraphrase........God has a hard-on for the US military because we kill everything we see! He plays His games, we play ours! To show our appreciation for so much power, we keep heaven packed with fresh souls!

Yes he would. Hell is where the cool kids go. Are you asserting saddam is cool enough to hang out with genghis khan, liberace and Satan? I think not.

Wait, how did Saddam Hussein get into heaven?

[–] VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 106 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He couldn't stay in hell, after he broke up with satan.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, that makes sense. Hopefully Satan finds a better partner who deserves him.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 34 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Yeah, uh... He ended up with Trump. They're having a butt-baby.

[–] spitfire@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

Like „the aristocrats”?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago

The baby hanged itself (allegedly) in the womb and they broke up.

People's moral compass got seriously screwed over the past couple years. They hate america so much that they think every enemy of america is literally the reincarnation of jesus christ.

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Believing Saddam is in heaven would require believing in some sort of god/afterlife/good place vs bad place, and I assure you the vast majority of people who make satirical memes commenting on the United States once again using the excuse of “WMDs!” don’t believe in that. This is gallows humor, grim laughter at being fed the same bullshit time and time again. It’s the by-product of burnout when the regime changes but the narrative remains the same.

What has happened in America (and globally) is that digital interfacing has removed all the nuance, non-verbal, and tonal clues that would clue others in that satire is not endorsement. It relies on the belief that the listener/reader is literate enough to understand that what is being offered is not meant to be taken at face value. It can be true that Saddam was a piece of shit and that it wasn’t America’s place to take him out under false pretenses. I wouldn’t shed a tear if the mango turd got sent to Hell (metaphorically, since I don’t believe in Hell), but I would still be perturbed if his ticket was checked by some foreign nation that I knew didn’t actually give a fuck about me and my community or what came next for us.
