I still love how these were made within hours of the first plane hitting
It was worth every second of dial up months later discovering these
Logging in to something awful, typing in "9/11" and seeing what posts showed up was always a treat.
I'll never make fun of the reactionary counter-revolution that brought down the Allende government on 9/11/1973
What’s incredible is that Osama revealed how much of a lib he was. He blamed Americans for bringing it upon themselves, but he also said they can vote for good politicians who won’t victimize the Middle East lol. Tfw America’s mortal enemy unironically believed in its propaganda
He drank the Al-Qool-Aid.
It was so terrible for the economy that we had to engage in trillion dollars of stimulus in the form of imperialist warfare. Thank god because that could have been a disaster.
We thought quick on our feet and got lucky with that one, but we won't be as lucky with the next propaganda campaign.
I would never joke about 9/11 to someone who actually lost friends or family during the event. On an individual level, it really was an unspeakable tragedy and immensely traumatizing for thousands of people.
But meanwhile the US government will still not apologize for nuking Japan twice, pulverizing primary schools and killing 30x as many people in the blink of an eye. So yeah, on that scale 9/11 is a hilarious joke indeed.
Just the amount of cancer that spiked over the years following the attack was horrible. : p
It's a consequence of war that I don't see discussed very much - Burning buildings, collapsing buildings, the chemicals left over from explosives, various fuels and other chemicals, all take a toll on the survivors of modern armed conflict and I rarely if ever see that accounted for. Like Fallujah, with the spike in birth defects after the battle in 2004. It doesn't have to just be from DU. There are many other toxic materials that are released in to the air when a building is destroyed.
As someone who’s lost people during 9/11 and saw the towers fall from New Jersey… you can make fun of me for all of the above.
3,000 innocents vs 5,000 American soldiers KIA vs 500k--2mil dead Afghanis and Iraqis...
I stand with Flava Flav--911 is still a joke
sorry the second you said 9/11 i started laughing uncontrollably
ironically, 9/11 is Airplane! for millennials. People born after us will forever be confused as to why we find it so funny
Comedy = tragedy x time speedrun
Eh I wasn’t even alive on 9/11 and people my age still make jokes about it, probably because every year in middle and high school we were forced to have a #neverforget presentation/assembly
The worst thing about 9/11 is people want to make it into some kind of conspiracy or terrorist attack. The universe can't just be a chaotic place where things randomly and arbitrarily happen. Planes can't crash and it be a totally normal mechanical/atmospheric thing, even though these same people acknowledge that happens multiple times per year. It has to be some Scooby Doo mystery where 19 people "hijacked" planes or the bad guy of the week did it to be evil.
It wasn't random or arbitrary, it was a direct consequence of amerikkka's foreign policy
You're right, but the comment above was something of an absurdist joke.
(3) You may then dispute that all the above does not justify aggression against civilians, for crimes they did not commit and offenses in which they did not partake:
(a) This argument contradicts your continuous repetition that America is the land of freedom, and its leaders in this world. Therefore, the American people are the ones who choose their government by way of their own free will; a choice which stems from their agreement to its policies. Thus the American people have chosen, consented to, and affirmed their support for the Israeli oppression of the Palestinians, the occupation and usurpation of their land, and its continuous killing, torture, punishment and expulsion of the Palestinians. The American people have the ability and choice to refuse the policies of their Government and even to change it if they want.
-Osama bin Laden
When people pin the accidents on Osama bin Laden, that's just sad to me. Boeing is to blame for whatever fault caused the accidents. Maybe the FAA.
I love how the most unanimously evil person in the world to every American was a gamer weeb with a laptop full of hentai
It's a pretty decent refutation of Great Man Theory. bin Laden was just a guy who had the right connections to get the attack plan rolling. The hijackers were just 19 random dudes, not commandos or spec ops. Their plan worked because it was a vector of attack that hadn't been seriously considered and no one was really trying to defend against.
America didn't deserve 9/11. Here, i said it.
My reasoning:
It deserved much, much, MUCH worse for all the shit it did and keeps doing.
But it was very funny
If you wonder why I'm so fucking tired of capeshit movies, in particular reboots, one of the earliest modern capeshit movies was the Spider-Man one that had a trailer where a bad guy helicopter was caught in a web between the WTC towers. It had to be edited out as soon as P A T R I O T D A Y happened.
That is how old and tiresome capeshit is to me.
My favorite part about 9/11 was how liberals kept practically quoting Osama bin Laden's justification for 9/11 to invoke collective punishment against the Russians over Ukraine.
Ummmm, Folks....
Get Sillay
we shouldn't make fun of 9/11 because then 9/11 might get its feelings hurt
After we 9/11 every day for a year I cant take 9/11 Classic (TM) serious anymore.
lmao
is no joke.
