America Deserved 9/11 Megathread

There's a distinct lack of rants, so I'll toss my annoyance out there.

There were days where covid in the US was killing a 9/11 amount of people every day and so many of the chuds who act like 9/11 was the worst thing ever did not give a fuck. And it pisses me off so bad. It's the perfect "one death is a tragedy, a million a statistic" trap so many people fall into and that always pisses me off. One person dies because of weed - nation wide story. Tens of thousands die from alcohol - who gives a damn.

Latuff don't miss

Jeremiah Wright, September 16th, 2001:

I heard Ambassador Peck on an interview yesterday, did anybody else see him or hear him? He was on Fox News, this is a white man, and he was upsetting the Fox News commentators to no end. He pointed out... that what Malcolm X said when he got silenced by Elijah Mohammed was in fact true, America's chickens…are coming home to roost.

We took this country by terror, away from the Sioux, the Apache, the Arowak, the Comanche, the Arapahoe, the Navajo. Terrorism.

We took Africans from their country to build our way of ease and kept them enslaved and living in fear. Terrorism.

We bombed Grenada and killed innocent civilians, babies, non-military personnel.

We bombed the black civilian community of Panama with stealth bombers and killed unarmed teenagers and toddlers, pregnant mothers, and hardworking fathers.

We bombed Qaddafi's home and killed his child.

We bombed Iraq. We killed unarmed civilians trying to make a living.

We bombed a plant in Sudan to payback for the attack on our embassy, killed hundreds of hardworking people, mothers and fathers who left home to go that day not knowing that they would never get back home.

We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon and we never batted an eye. Kids playing in the playground, mothers picking up children from school, civilians, not soldiers, people just trying to make it day by day.

We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and Black South Africans and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost.

Entire interview and sermon clip is worth watching, but this bit starts around 3:10

No innocent civilians in the planes or towers deserved to die in 9/11 obviously (and I hope everyone agrees here), but what I despise about the event is how the American civil religion lionised it and reacted afterwards. The attack was carried out by a US asset gone rouge and a direct result of US meddling and old school imperial conquest in the Middle East, which included killing many innocent civilians there themselves. The 9/11 attacks were not some unforeseen unprovoked event.

Then there's the response. It's quite clear that the main issue with 9/11 to American leadership was not the number of lives lost, but the fact that it was a successful attack on Americas biggest symbols symbols of global financial and military domination. It was about the message that sent. A successful attack from the "jungle" on the "garden", as old school racist imperialists would say. And how did America respond to that? By invading two countries that had nothing to do with the event, while becoming even closer allies with the country that the majority of 9/11 hijackers were from. Hundreds of thousands killed in Iraq over a lie about WMDs. Afghanistan pillaged for two decades before returning to the exact same position, Taliban rule. Osama was in Afghanistan by the time the US showed up? Yes, and I'm going to be a billionaire tomorrow. More instability, more US funded terrorist groups. The response was just to go and loot and pillage the Middle East 100 times harder with false righteous fury. Like bombing an entire neighborhood because you got mugged by one of its residents.

And that really showed the true character of the US as a country. Just how much bloodlust they had after 9/11. They just wanted to go out and kill a nation, any nation from the region would've sufficed. The were calls on national radio and TV programs for glassing and nuking the entire region. Around 75% of Americans supported the invasion of Iraq at the time. An invasion clearly based on lies. But they didn't care, they just wanted revenge. To kill someone, anyone. If you compare how the US reacted here, to how other countries reacted in the face of hardship, attacks and near civil war (see South Africa during the end of apartheid) it's clear that the character of the US is rotten deep down.

guy who gets angry at "Bush did 9/11" memes because he views Osama bin Laden as a hero and wants him to get the credit he deserves

I believe this screenshot is from genzedong or chapo. I forget.

9/11 was proof that America is one of the most self-absorbed, narcissistic societies to ever exist. They suffer what they inflict upon others in an afternoon of ignorance or infantile righteous judgement, and they start foaming at the mouth to cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war, gloating over how they will 'send them back to the stone age'. It's sometimes difficult to put into words how repulsive Americans can be.

Does that mean that everyone who died on 9/11 had it comin? No. But the event was beyond illuminating of how America is an imperialist beast with a Narcissus complex.

The unchecked, uncurtailed, ceaseless and boundless of expansion of the surveillance state due to 9/11 doesn’t get talked about enough. I don’t have a joke here, I am just saying it sucks so much man.

panopticon

This is the first 911 since the reddit refugees oh geez this will get messy

American libs when experiencing a fraction of the brutality they subjected others to: ooooooooooooooh

Q: What's the difference between 9/11 and a cow?

A: You can't milk a cow for 22 years.

If we were still federated with the libs, this thread would be wild

lmao, I hadn't considered what impact 9/11 was going to have on federation until just now

If lemm.ee doesn't finally defederate from us over this thread, then I don't think they ever will.

My older Cuban relatives were staying with us in NY the month of September 2001 from Havana. We actually took them to the World Trade Center a few days prior to the attacks. My principle memory of 9/11 was them laughing and celebrating and my dad getting mad at them.

This was a great meme back in 2011, kids.

Wonder if they’ve already lowered the Guantanamo Bay McDonald’s flag to half mast

Let’s pay our respects to the victims of September 11th, 1973, when the US probably helped a coup in Chile

I remember when the towers fell, and people all over the word showed sympathy and solidarity, even from "enemy" countries like Iran. Then there was hate crimes, and the ubiquitous calls for us to "glass the middle east", but those were outliars, right? Bush observed the rubble and vowed revenge and told us to not be afraid to go shopping, and then shamelessly exploited the tragedy to further US geopolitical goals and killed millions of people across the world who had nothing to do with it. No "serious" politician or pundit or average American gave a shit.

Little did I realize that the "killing millions" part was just standard operating procedure for the US, and the most important thing we can do, no matter what happens, is to uphold our duty as consumers and keep buying shit.

Crazy to think we used to not have to take off our shoes and empty our pockets and be body-scanned to get on a plane.

I think some of most interesting things around 9/11 are the extremely stupid side stories. Consider real estate developer Larry Silverstein who argued that the WTC attacks were two separate attacks, and therefore he was entitled to two payouts on his insurance claim.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Silverstein#Insurance_dispute

It's mundane shit like this that really gives a unique glimpse into the depravity of capitalism. The uninteresting part of this is the casually anti-Semitic implication that the insurance policy was taken because a Jewish man knew what was going to happen. That's part is just stupid antisemitism and I do think it's worth making that point clear.

i wonder if he still likes stepmom porn

What's your favorite way your parents destroyed the towers? My household had a minor affair, we had little candles in the shape of the WTC on the dining room table. We would thank George Bush for the Patriot Act and then light the candles. We had to be good, because George Bush was always watching us with the Patriot Act, but if we were good, we'd get little pilot's wings pins.

The rich kids in my neighborhood had more elaborate plans, I heard they had full on model WTC towers. If they were good, there would be RC planes under the towers on 9/11 morning. They were always showing me the cool videos when they destroyed the towers.

So on 9/11/2001, I was at work.

I get done with what I was doing and went to put my tools back in the storage room and I see some of my other coworkers in another section standing around a radio, silent and serious.

I walk back past them and ask in a sarcastic way, "Who died?"

Needless to say, it did not go over well.

Sucks being on the West Coast of north America. Last place in the world to be able to celebrate 9/11

I beat Pokémon gold on 9/11. I was hyped but my parents didn't care cause some stupid buildings got planed.

please meme responsibly on this most sacred day

I remember the night of logging on to battle.net to play Diablo 2 and seeing the insane anti-muslim racism and hate. I think it was one of my first brushes with nascent internet racism.

I would like to extend my best wishes to all, even the haters and losers, on this special date, September 11th.

Very glad megathreads here aren't just a modding weapon used to suck the life out of a topic by being "enforced" so that all posts, memes and other content about a topic gets contained, otherwise I would be very upset.

I tried to stay up till 12:00 am but I am not going to make it.

It is wild to think that former cia asset Osama bin Laden did the thing from a book written by a diffrent cia asset Tom Clancy.

hasan-smash

Like the few soldiers who got tortured in Vietnam, 9/11 is an incredibly small price to pay in exchange for all the war crimes, destabilization, and brutalization that occurred before and after the attacks.

My day is gonna be fun. Someone in my group chat with “friends” will post unironic comments about 9/11. I’ll link to Blowback season one and beg everyone to just listen to the first ep at least. Which no one will do, and I’m gonna get read the RIOT Act by a couple of these people for “disrespecting what happened that day” and “politicizing it”

the "janitors in the building" - all salt-of-the-earth anti-imperialists I'm sure - are such a patsoc chestnut. if america deserved 9/11 then americans deserved 9/11, period.

imo it seems like a lot of american leftists are just nervous about them and their lib friends being held to account by the rest of the world starting to sharpen its pitchforks

I prefer james connolly's vibe

Let us say that we are sick of the canting talk of those who tell us that we must not blame the British people for the crimes of their rulers against Ireland. We do blame them.

It's now officially 2AM on 9/11 my time. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

If you see a lib, tag me and I'll wreck 'em. I expect a few here.

Pee pee and poo poo

Gonna post the “limp bizkit did 9/11” rant by Matt Christmas later

The real tragedy of 9/11 in the US is that it isn't 7/11 again. The treats must flow dafoe-horror

Charles Barkley did 9/11 as a distraction because Michael Jordan was making his big NBA comeback on 9/11/01.

Maria says she saw three young men kneeling on the roof of a white van in the parking lot of her apartment building. "They seemed to be taking a movie," Maria said.

The men were taking video or photos of themselves with the World Trade Center burning in the background, she said. What struck Maria were the expressions on the men's faces. "They were like happy, you know … They didn't look shocked to me. I thought it was very strange," she said.

We need to FOIA these recordings.

Jet memes don’t smelt 9/11 dreams

How many of you are actually happy that people died? I think the memes are funny and I also agree with everything about the US and what it does to people around the world, but my outlook on the world isn't such that I'm glad when someone "evens the score".
