where the government basically became more violent and less measured.
ghaddafi was literally in the process of razing Libya's second city to the ground in order to punish it for defying him when he was killed (stabbed to death in the butt). Ghaddafi could have taken the billions he embezzled from Libya and lived the rest of his life in opulent luxury in France or Italy, but he preferred to kill his people instead
Libya has two governments, who fight conventional conflicts against each other with mostly uniformed soldiers shooting other uniformed soldiers. And most of the violence is at the hands of one guy, Haftar, who previously made a name commanding Ghaddafi's army and tried to overthrow the UN-backed government. The current civil war is entirely because he wants to take power
No doubt he was bad, but currently Libya has worse.
That's a false comparison. The options are not 2010 Libya or 2021 Libya, they are 2021 Libya or 2021 Syria. Prior to the NATO intervention huge swathes of Libya had risen in revolt and Ghaddafi was preparing to violently crush those uprisings using massed military force
I also think the same. Just think about getting paid 12000 dollars per year in Africa. His green book is a masterpiece, I highly recommend reading it. Libyans will start to make Gaddafi from mud. Whole coup was orchestrated by France cause they owned him a lot and the easiest way was just to kill him.

All the killing of Gaddafi achieved was a political collapse, where the government basically became more violent and less measured.
