Wait, how did Saddam Hussein get into heaven?

[–] VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 111 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 30 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 36 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

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

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 weeks ago

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

How can I delete someone else's comment?

[–] officermike@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

OP didn't even make it up. It was a whole story arc within South Park this past season, so even if you could delete someone else's comment, you'll probably run into it again.

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 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 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.

[–] realitaetsverlust@piefed.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

satire is not endorsement

A few years ago, I would have agreed with that statement. But I've read people on lemmy unironically saying "Hitler was at least sorta right" and so I just can't really believe that anymore.

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago

If you know it’s being said unironically than you know it’s not satire, it’s just endorsement.

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's how it is over on lemmygrad and other .ml instances

[–] FudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's really strange. I believe war is bad and the ends don't justify the means, but the Iranian regime needs to be replaced. Both are true at the same time. There must have been a way to affect that change without violence, but I don't know what that way is.

Trump is terrible, but that doesn't make the Ayatollah good.

Now I'm rambling.

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

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

[–] how_we_burned@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 weeks 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.

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

I can't unhear South Park Saddams Voice

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

"Saddam Hussein in heaven" 🧐

This IS the BAD PLACE! 😱

Hell would have been too much like a vacation spot for him. Had to send him to the good place to properly torment him for eternity.

Watching the us abomb iran, did mario write this?

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Did realize the US was dropping atomic bombs over there.

[–] couldhavebeenyou@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

IAEA made it quite clear that Iran was, in fact, producing highly enriched uranium. There's no other use for that than to make nukes

Ironically, IAEA reports also supported that Iraq was not doing so back in 2003.

[–] Town@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

They have the right to make nukes as much as anyone. Kinda surprised they didn't just buy some from North Korea to prevent all this.

[–] Mika@piefed.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It would prevent nothing of this. You need to deliver the nuke to the destination and USA is on the other side of the globe.

[–] eletes@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 weeks ago

No Israel is right there, and the reason we've been dragged into this

[–] CapeWearingAeroplane@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago (9 children)

Ironically, attacking someone "preemptively" because you think they're about to develop nukes really just proves to those being attacked that they need nukes, because you won't respect their sovereignty without MAD. I think it's very clear to anyone with eyes and half a brain that the US+Israel wouldn't have attacked Iran if it could result in Tel Aviv being glassed. Thus, the only logical conclusion from Irans side must be that they need to work even harder to develop nukes if they want the US+Israel to stop bombing them "preemptively" once a year or so.

Hey now, we still might bomb Iraq too. At least one of the regime mouthpieces fudged and said Iraq instead of Iran already, so to prevent that from looking stupid, we will also bomb Iraq.

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

But. The tubes!

[–] MithranArkanere@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago

That guy looks just like my dad.
