    Other countries memorializing US atrocities against their own people have a set of numbers too: 24/7/365.

    Never forget 24/7/365.

    Have I ever told you how tiring it is to see AmeriKKKans using 9/11 as an excuse to kill my people

      Around 500 more from covid, in fact! And every year since the invasion until 2019 there were more civilian deaths due to the Iraq war than in 11/09. Tragedies only count if they happen on the wealthiest burough of the wealthiest county of the wealthiest country, apparently.

      Covid doesn’t justify bloating up the military for the “war on terror”

      I think it is some other descriptor, not a TM. They’re insanely capitalist, but not quite at that level yet.

        The disturbingly culty “pledge of allegiance” started as a cynical ad campaign designed to sell flags to schools. It’s one of the most American things I’ve heard.

      On the 9nth of November 2004, Firefox 1.0 was released. 9/11 is therefore a date dear to the heart of all freedom loving people.

    Because after 9/11, these happened:

    • There are Americans europeans arabs

    • So for “national security” it is right thing to do surveillance everything, for the sake of security of course as we said

    • Lets put all those taxes to millitary, for security again guys

    • Islam = Terrorism, Muslim = terrorist

      I’m immediately disregarding any website that invites me to share a link on Parler, TruthSocial, and Rumble.

        I’m immediately discarding any claims Sept 11 “was an inside job.”

          What makes it difficult to disregard that entirely is the fact that the U.S. has planned false flag attacks before. There’s also the fact of the Bush Administration’s open desire to start regime change wars and the adjacent awareness that this would be politically unlikely absent “a new Pearl Harbor” (see “Critics”). This is like knowing someone has at least planned a murder before, then them talking about how convenient it’d be for someone to wind up dead, then a body showing up.

          Personally, I think it’s plausible that the feds had specific advance warning of the attacks but intentionally slow-rolled the response (I see some parallels with how all these mass shooters were known to the feds beforehand). This would not require a lot of people to know and has excellent plausible deniability. I don’t think it’s plausible that they set demolition charges, or fired a missile into the Pentagon, or anything like that – too many people would have had to be involved and this would have left too many smoking guns.

          I don’t think it’s useful as leftists to get too entrenched on any related topic, besides “why would anyone want to do this to the good wholesome U.S. of A.?” or “is the U.S. government capable of killing its own to start a war, or at least looking the other way and letting it happen?”
