I wont lie, I watched the Saddam Hussein video like 2 years after the execution happened.
I’m a true-blue-center-of-the-generation millenial, who grew up on the internet (but avoided places like somethingawful) and I got squeamish over THAT video.
It was legit just a shot of his feet swinging but my brain just went “Thats not fake, not a movie, thats an actual human being”, and I got mad uncomfortable.
So, I feel zero percent sadness over CKs death (in fact legit delight! I’m currently out having drinks over it!) But I cannot fathom actually watching the moment a human being’s life flickers out.
I would say most of us are not built for that. Seeing all this horrible shit the internet offers you can’t be good for anyones mental health. In this sense: congratulations on escaping the desensitization.
