For most of us who aren't American, this format is funny.
More people died per day from COVID than this attack. More people have died from gun violence since this attack. America has a ton of problems, stop holding onto this attack so tightly for some reason.
as an american, or just anyone paying attention; you are spot on.
It wasn't the people who died. It was the fact that the US was attacked by a foreign power.
We can fuck up our own shit fine. But if somebody else is fucking up our shit... then we get salty.
Unless Russia is rigging elections. That is a-ok, right?
"Rigging elections" may be a bit hyperbolic, but you get the point.
No you don't. You want to tell yourself, but you get mad at what the media conglomerate tells you to get mad about. You don't give a fuck that somebody else fucks up your things until it becomes chosen to be popular political rage target then you rage at it
The us was complicit in this attack
To me 911 signified a change in the world. My awareness of global politics got supercharged, and the world seemed to turn into shit all of the sudden
Yeah because before then, Americans were still very isolated. The only “bad stuff” going on was across an ocean one way, or an ocean the other way. Suddenly most Americans actually realized they live in a big world that holds more than just America.
This is cold pressed lemmy. shlurp it up everyone. Updoots and whatnot
What are you hanging onto?
Oh, the fantasy that other people’s feelings and opinions don’t matter as much as your own?
