    What’s with the sadam memes? Put in the pleases! I wanna be cool too!

    Okay found this “the illustration went viral following a tweet comparing it to a rented apartment, with humorous edits of the image following in late June 2021.”

    But why is it back?

        Is this some kind of meta-joke? What does Saddam have to do with 9/11?

          This is not at all a joke.

          Saddam Hussein orchestrated the 9/11 attack.

          This isn’t even funny, please educate yourself.

            Are you conflating Osama Bin Laden with Saddam Hussein, for whom as summarized by wikipedia:

            In 2003, a US-led coalition invaded Iraq, falsely accusing him of developing weapons of mass destruction and of having ties with al-Qaeda.

            Unless you have that evidence the world was looking for I don’t want to spread old, debunked propaganda.

                Can you cite where Saddam is involved in 9/11? Again, it’s generally accepted history that the Bush Administration claimed he supported the attacks, never presented evidence he was involved, then later admitted he was not involved.

                  My data is before the mass erase.

                    You do realize that reads like you’re off your meds.

                    I work in IT. There have definitely been several attacks on the quality of information available to the general public in the last few decades, but none that I would qualify as a singular “the”

                    Could you be more specific on which attack (or by whom) you’re referring to?

            Dafaq? Saddam had nothing to do with it, and a vast majority of the world knew that at the time. That’s why the bullshit WMD story was circulated as an excuse to attack, and still most of the world was dubious at best.

      Lemmy has generally had several kicks of revivnig old memes and old meme formats. A few months ago folks were doing the beans thing from several years ago, I’ve seen folks trying to bring advice animals and demotivational posters back, etc.
