    I don’t subscribe to the whole never forget thing. But this is still in poor taste. 3000+ people did die that day.

      The shock value is the point. It’s supposed to juxtapose how the #alllivesmatter people feel about 9/11 VS deaths at the hands of police. The point of the meme is NOT that those 3000+ lost are not valuable, rather that #alllivesmatter is insensitive, not the point, and not useful.

      Gotta reinforce societal PTSD about terror attacks to keep the Military-Industrial Complex going…

    this would make a lot more sense if the two towers were part of a group of buildings that regularly demolished other buildings because they think they are being bad buildings.

        I was actually thinking about this after posting. We do know that our government has been fucking with most of the world and especially the third world for decades before this and that there is some reap what you sow elements. I mean two wrongs don’t make a right but anyone who thinks we did not start what lead to this is naive at best.

          Yeah I’m not justifying terrorism and murder in any way but there’s definitely a reason Al Quaeda targeted these specific buildings. They stood for America’s imperialistic capitalism and taking them down was a very clear statement.

    I know you’re trying to undermine all lives matter here but…

    3000 lives died that day and after all, all lives matter. These put the deaths of these buildings above the deaths of other buildings

      We had over 3k deaths a day during Covid, and I don’t see a memorial for those forgotten by their own country’s leadership.

        Don’t forget the 300k civilian deaths that followed the retaliation in the Middle East.

        It is like Americans think one American is worth 100 Afghan lives.

    I live in a house and I’ve never been hit by a Boeing 767. I don’t get why the World Trade Centre didn’t just follow the zoning laws and make itself small around planes. It knew planes were there and it CHOSE to antagonise them.

      As a plane, I’ve got nothing against buildings, but being out in public where a child might see them is where I draw the line

        Skyscrapers are grooming my children to be lawyers. They see this skyscraper flaunting itself in public and they want to work there. They think “I’ll be so free if I can just look out over the entire city”, that “I can be an individual who defines the skyline”. Well kids, 9/11 happens if we let this continue. It’s a war on our traditional ideas of buildings and the bible says we shouldn’t build tall towers.

      Panel three was just me at the Rays Twins game today, sorry.

      I moved to Minnesota and all I got was another lousy baseball team to root for. /s

    Never forget this Tuesday September 11 with more than 3000 victims, in 1973, when the CIA helped an bloody Dictator Pinochet in his military coup against the democratic president Allende in Chile. Just 50 Years ago.
