What happened on the 9th of November? I forgot.
1307 – Knights Templar officer Hugues de Pairaud is forced to confess during the Trials of the Knights Templar. He was persecuted on the charges of false idolism and sodomy.
…Is this putting shoppers in the role of the hijackers?
“A second customer has hit the tower.”
It was 23 years ago now. It’s entirely possible that the manager who had that put up doesn’t even remember 9/11.
Yet we’re still doing business with Saudi Arabia, who actively participated in planning the attack at a state level
The reason, same with Israel, is because the US needs allies in the Middle East. A lot of “shock and awe” was launched from bases in Saudi Arabia. Which is extremely unsettling. But it highlights why the US keeps these countries as allies.
who actively participated in planning the attack at a state level
None of this is true. He was an outlaw in Saudi Arabia and left it in the 1990s and never returned. The US though was still working with Alqaeda in Central Asia before 9/11/2001.
there were state officials sending video in DC etc. They’ve found evidence of all that after. State officials played a role in helping.
Imagine how different the world might be if the U.S. hadn’t systematically interfered in every popular, leftist movement in South America in the last 50 years; that’s even without mentioning the Banana Wars in Central America in the preceding 50.
Man those things already look ideal to knock over, you’re asking for some tiktok stunt to take this down lol
P l e a s e
That would be gold
Yeah where’s tower 7?
These coke can arrangements are getting wild lol
I hate buying 12 packs and then finding out that half of the cans are depressurized(and unfizzed!) from being crushed because of these stackings :(
Nothing wrong with this
Anyone else remember South Park episode Jared has Sides? Takes 22ish years before something is funny. Probably not this but it was pretty close to that for timing.
It’s not the time that makes stuff funny but the skill of the comedian
I remember there were funny jokes about 9/11 10 years ago. something with plane and dumb terrorists I can’t remember now but it was hilarious
Kumail Nanjiani had a good one.
I agree mostly but you do need some time, that was sort of the key, not the actual timeframe. The best jokes one month later would not work regardless how good they were. Well anywhere in the US. Even you said a decade later, that’s over half an adult worth of time for a human growing up.
I don’t need your agreement. I was joking about plane crash that killed all our government, the day after it occurred.
Probably the key is to not have anyone you care about in it so to say because that would definitely make you sad for few weeks and also obv choose your audience in a sane mannerOh aren’t you a peach
Happy cake day
You really are a peach.
Years not days?
😡
I mean, this was in 2016.
People made worse decisions that year. A lot of people.
2024: hold my beer
And not just in the US.
But sovereignty, mate.
Does this mean if we see a display like this today, a lot of people are about to make another bad decision?
At this point, is being American basically a religion? Such weird cult-like displays of patriotism…
Pretty much. Secular education tends to begin with Columbus sailing across the Atlantic and seldom ventures north or south of our boarders – let alone touch on the rest of the planet until World War 2, after which a lot of curriculums just end. Elective courses are better… which is why nearly every year at least one of the states try to ban them.
Most of our protestant schooling likes to make special note of the fact that people fled here to escape religious persecution, that this or that sect wouldn’t be possible without American Freedoms™. Hell, Mormon scripture straight up says the US is a promised holy land.
No, it’s just what’s on my passport. There’s not much I can do about it.
It has actually been described as such. (It’s called Civic Religion) Many countries have elements of this, like France or the Soviet Union.
Patriotism is ingrained from birth like religion — They’re forced to pledge allegiance to the flag through schooling, taught little about the world outside the US, and constantly propagandised by politics, hollywood, and capitalism from all angles; non-stop affirmation that the USA is the greatest Democracy™️ in the world, and their Freedoms™️ are the free-est free that ever freedomed.
And an irrational hate for “dirty commies”, gays and jews for some reason. Maybe it was just the Midwest in the early 00s, but that was my experience throughout high school.
(I know, I know, McCarthyism and the Cold War all shaped public perception, but all the kids were screaming it to each other and I didn’t understand why back then.)
Only a couple countries on Earth where every member of Congress has¹ to wear a pin: the US and North Korea.
- Yes there’s no law, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have to.
Yes I know nearly every country has elements like this. But in the US it’s a bit more than just some elements.
I can see it in American advertisements, TV series, movies, political speeches, and a lot of rather loud opinions.
There’s probably like 40% of us, at least, who aren’t jingoistic fuckbrains.
And they can’t afford to miss a day of work to vote, thanks to that other 60%.
Yeah, that’s about right. Not voting is just as bad as voting for the wrong person. There’s this giant chunk of America that’s sleepwalking everyone else into chaos.
There are few large countries in the world where this isn’t the case. Nationalism, in general, is absolutely a cult.
It kinda is
They call themselves Patriots. They are a cult.
How old is this photo? That’s a good price for a 12 pack of soda…
A price to die for
3 for 1 special.
