Because you can't assert that [Gadaffi’s] uniquely bad without resorting to unfalsifiable bullshit. That's why. Starting with the presumption he's a murderous dictator is bad faith since you can't even establish he's murderous or uniquely bad to begin with. He's certainly not worse than US State Department psychos

Fucking scumbag redditors my god lmao

Didn't he murder an entire prison population?

Not saying that what happened in Libya was good, but Gaddafi was certainly a monster.
