Stalker…
bout to 9/11 on these kids fr
I won a lot of free popularity points by letting kids vent about the silly performative PATRIOT DAY bullshit going on around them and even muttered a glib “nevar forget” pronounced exactly that way, letting them know I was tired of that shit too in a plausibly deniable way (administration would lose their shit if I didn’t seem “patriotic” enough otherwise).
To really win kids over, say “too soon” with a silly look on your face when they dunk on PATRIOT DAY.
Absolutely based.
"But Mr. Principal, I did my patriotic duty and reminded them that it was too soon."
Reddit went from ranting about boomers complaining about Millennials to doing the same thing with Gen Z.
Redditors smugly think they’re different from every preceeding generation since time immemorial, then do the exact same thing as those generations.
to be fair thats what all of the previous generations did
(the ones affluent and influentual enough culturally to be the guiding force for the times, of course)
Im too lazy to find it but that one whiney ass fucking article some loser wrote in like 1820 about how “kids these days are too busy reading dang ol BOOKS to LOOK OUT THE DAMN WINDOW like we did in our day!” and the way he talks about it is like every fucking white 54 year old complaining about anything ever
“They will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks.”
- Socrates on writing (at least according to Plato)
Yeah like this nerd Socrates here
“NEVER FORGET” cried the patriots
but on that day a monkey’s paw curled
Sad that kids these days aren’t showing the proper respect for Allende.
Get over it loser
Thanks, I replied to that thread with this:
My friend.
These kids grew up watching a weekly to daily 9/11 happening around them, in the form of 7 million global deaths from COVID, treated again and again as a total joke. Half the population essentially won’t even admit it’s real, and even the people who admit it’s real tend to have not taken it very seriously at all.
They were constantly threatened for a huge part of their childhood, a lot of them have dead relatives including dead parents, and it’s still doing a 9/11 a month just in the US. And 75% of the ones with dead parents gave COVID to their parents because they were forced into a goddamn classroom.
How could they take this seriously? Ask yourself, what makes you feel somber about it- is it the number of deaths? No of course it’s not the number of deaths - so what is it? Could it be that you absorbed a cultural phenomenon over the last 22 years that they weren’t exposed to? Don’t you think maybe you were acculturated into tearing up and saluting so you’d maybe get thirsty for the blood of innocent Muslims?
Not to mention it happened before they were born. You don’t give a shit about the Boxer Rebellion, that doesn’t make you cry. So why would they care about this overused blip on the radar?
You brigaded Reddit? Clearly leftism has gone too far. I’ll see you extremists at the Hague!
It was also a
whataboutism! How abso fucking loutely DARE they?!? Don’t they know that helps trumputler?
whataboutism 
Not to mention this kids living day to day in a climate disaster that all their relatives and societies just choose to ignore and fly to burning islands to “unwind” instead.
Wish someone would ask people like this why they are so desensitized that they just keep doing what they have always done when people are literally getting killed by pavements now.
Actually, some of them care very much about the Boxer Rebellion and fantasize about invading China again
Me and my Boxer Bros dreaming about rising up and expelling the foreign devils again.
Expel the foreign devils?
I did that alreadyyeah but deng brought them back

Covid kills that many people on a nearly daily basis and didn’t have to but the treats simply had to flow and social distancing and masking in the early stages before it was a pandemic was too inconvenient for treat consumption.
Wonder if the 60,000 dead in the Turkish earthquake will get breathless coverage and memorials for the next century
Of course not, the ghoul to non-ghoul ratio was too far off to register
I never lived in USA and it feels weird for me to joke around other country’s tragic event.
That being said, (dark) comedy is a common way of facing tragedy and I also can see why many USA citizens are desensitized on this event. For what I can grasp the reaction was so overly exaggerated that people have had enough.
Don’t get me wrong: it was a tragedy, but it’s silly to expect everyone to feel personally affected to THAT level even after decades (and most without even knowing one of the victims).
I’m pretty sure that even in that year many citizens might have moved on kinda soon and didn’t care THAT much, but would keep quiet to avoid drama. At some point the edgy comedians made people realize not caring THAT much was pretty common and even the kids started openly joking about it.
As an American, I give you a 9/11 joke pass. I hope to see you in next years 9/11 mega.
I think there is an additional dissonance considering the US let a million+ and more of its own citizens die from Covid but we still commemorate the victims of 9/11 as the greatest evil done to the country in recent memory. (That’s how I also know Americans don’t really believe the claims against China being the origin, producer, and disseminator of the pandemic)
an adult who’s still choked up about 9/11… just when I think I understand Americans. like 60% of their ideology and culture and way of life depends on not giving a shit about 1) historical events that happened in the past, 2) stuff that happened “over there”- and for most of the country New York/DC is “over there”. honestly
ah, but on that day, we were all new yorkers
they have to understand that these kids only memories of 9/11 is the massive overreaction

If this is true …
silently mouthing “rip in pepperonis”
It’s either some Rod and Todd styled weiner kids or Flag-brained parents forcing some brainwashing on that poor girl
That feel when feeling somber.
This is better than gold. Platinum or LSD by weight, perhaps
