rip to a real one. this is our 9/11
I know we’re talking about a time before a lot of young adults were born, but comparing the closure of a federated instance to what happened to a lot of people and families on 9/11 is actually pretty fucked up.
Edit: Alright. Apparently some atrocities are okay because other atrocities happen, too. Love you guys.
I did not think I needed an /s but I guess I did
Americans have no sense of perspective. I have friends who were affected by the tower collapse in NY. We sent more service members to die looking for Bin Laden than were killed that day. And more than 10 times a many people die from gun violence in the US every God damned year than died in all four plane strikes. And every one of those other tragedies destroys families and communities.
It’s so overblown it’s practically a meme to everyone but the boomers and Christian “patriots” who need a way to make people angry about foreigners so they can ignore our home grown violent tendencies.
What's the difference between 9/11 and a cow?
You stop milking the cow after a decade.
