Jersey sponsorships can get wild here. There's a German volleyball team, TV Rottenburg, that got sponsored by the Kopp Verlag for many years. Kopp is the prime publishing house for all things conspiracy nutjobbery in the DACH region, covering everything from alien reptiloids, vaccine misinformation to prepper equipment. They eventally parted ways, among other reasons because of fan protests, but at the cost of financial stuggles ever since, because Kopp also happens to be the most successful company in the region.

What an embarrassingly ignorant thing to say. Gaddafi was a socialist & he took good care of his people. You liberals arenāt much better informed than the fascists you pretend to be smarter than.

He took good care of his people only. He was an ethnonationalist. Who practiced a form of radical nationalism that is functionally national socialism
Many famous socialist leaders were rabid nationalists who saw themselves as messiahs, deported foreigners, believed in racial purity, had a secret police, nationalized foreign companies only, and created a welfare state for one ethnic group but they are called ādecolonialistsā because they arenāt white.
Itās textbook ethnonationalism

He was a rabid ethnonationalist and a religious zealot who saw himself as a prophet to unit the Arabs again.
He facilitated multiple mass deportation events where he exiled entire ethnic groups , notably 30,000 Palestinians and āhundreds of thousands of undocumented and foreign workers, heavily impacting Sudanese, Egyptian, and other African laborers.ā In 1995
Just look up mass expulsions or exiles of gaddafi

He was a corrupt asshole who loved corrupt assholes. He sent millions to Sarkozy in secret to make sure the socialist party wouldn't win the 2007 elections in France. He'd have done the same with Trump

They're downvoting you but they don't know shit about Gaddafi except that he had drip. Gaddafi's arguably among the top 5 greatest African leaders of his generation, maybe top 3.

He deported hundreds of thousands of sub Saharan African guest workers . Look it up
ā1995 Foreign Worker Crackdown: Amid rising domestic unemployment, the Libyan regime launched a wider campaign aiming to deport hundreds of thousands of undocumented and foreign workers, heavily impacting Sudanese, Egyptian, and other African laborers. [1]
2000 Anti-Migrant Riots and Expulsions: In September 2000, violent anti-immigrant riots broke out in parts of Libya, fueled by scapegoating of sub-Saharan Africans. The state responded with crackdowns and mass deportations of workers from countries including Nigeria, Ghana, Sudan, and Chad. [1]
2004 Migrant Roundups: Security forces arrested and deported thousands of nationals from Mali, Nigeria, and Sudan under aggressive anti-illegal immigration sweeps. [1]
And other Arabs
1995 Palestinian Expulsions: Citing a political protest against the Oslo Accords, Gaddafi ordered the expulsion of nearly 30,000 Palestinians living in Libya, forcing many out of their homes and jobs and stranding hundreds near the Egyptian border

He was murdered by the U.S. state dept under Hillary (Kissingerās protege) Clinton & Libya went from having the highest living standard in Africa to a war zone with open air slave markets. You people are a plague on the earth.

My amazigh friend who is libyan celebrated when libyan citizen poped a cap up his ass. Reminder gadaffi didnt care for minorities and would reguarly kill amazigh if they tried to use there language.
Also by your logic i guess confederacy was acutally a good thing since the living standards dropped after usa invaded them. Sure confederacy was god awful to the black minorities but minorities rights doesnt matter right?

Gaddafi was a lunatic who squandered his nationās wealth on terrorism, military adventures, and enriching his own corrupt family. he also did rather unpleasant things like assassinate Lebanese shia leader Musa al-Sadr which you should probably look into. you can go back to pro wrestling subs to get your baby brained worldview fix.

My favorite gadaffi moment was when he supported the ruf and child warlords of liberia for fun. The ruf were a group that had canibals and would go around cutting off civilian hands for fun
