Sadaam was a bastard, but at least that country had free healthcare, education, and a near perfect literacy rate.
Sadaam’s Iraq also didn’t have Humvee’s rolling around, because your conception of Iraq comes from the US occupation. But the reason the US today looks like the occupation of Iraq, is because the Imperial Boomerang has come back around:
The Imperial boomerang, or the colonial boomerang, is the theory that governments that develop repressive techniques to enforce imperialism or control colonial territories will eventually deploy those same techniques domestically against their own citizens.
I really wish the only example given on Wikipedia wasn’t the United States.
Someone should go ask sadam how it went for him. He’s probably enjoying painting classes and late night massages. I hardly ever hear about that guy anymore.
You wish you looked like Iraq under Saddam Hussein. At least before all the fuckery, healthcare and education were free.
The Trumps never learned you can’t buy class.
i thought that’s why the white house looks like a senile Versailles now.
We even have a trump version of the Saddam Hussein grave meme now!
I assumed that was just a random unrelated meme, then read that he was actually hidden in a food cart…
“What are we, some kind of asians?!”
Well at least we don’t have golden toilet bowls in the Palace… Right?
Bit of green off to the left, yeah? Fuck me I remember pictures of Baghdad from before the u.s. invasion
