Other countries memorializing US atrocities against their own people have a set of numbers too: 24/7/365.
Never forget 24/7/365.

Have I ever told you how tiring it is to see AmeriKKKans using 9/11 as an excuse to kill my people

As an American it’s insanely depressing and frustrating to not be able to fight the propaganda that convinces our population that more money to Raytheon is somehow a patriotic thing and that we need to bomb everyone…
Just know there is a rather large population that never wanted it to be this way, but we’re never enough when it’s people vs monied interests.
I blame mainstream media propaganda as much as Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfield :(
The fr*nch used the whisk incident to justify the colonialism on Algeria… Ironically it happened on Eid Al Adha and the leader of Algiers was also called Hussein 🤔
Could you clarify the meaning of the irony in the name Hussein? Does it have to do with the history of Eid Al Adha?
Saddam Hussein was killed in Eid Al Adha

Around 500 more from covid, in fact! And every year since the invasion until 2019 there were more civilian deaths due to the Iraq war than in 11/09. Tragedies only count if they happen on the wealthiest burough of the wealthiest county of the wealthiest country, apparently.
Covid doesn’t justify bloating up the military for the “war on terror”
Not with that attitude!
Is that the “TM” after the flag names?
I think it is some other descriptor, not a TM. They’re insanely capitalist, but not quite at that level yet.
The disturbingly culty “pledge of allegiance” started as a cynical ad campaign designed to sell flags to schools. It’s one of the most American things I’ve heard.
Bellamy, a former Baptist preacher, had irritated his Boston Brahmin flock with his socialist ideas. But as a writer and publicist at the Companion, he let ’em rip. In a series of speeches and editorials that were equal parts marketing, political theory and racism, he argued that Gilded Age capitalism, along with “every alien immigrant of inferior race,” eroded traditional values, and that pledging allegiance would ensure “that the distinctive principles of true Americanism will not perish as long as free, public education endures.”
It seems the western left was shit back then too.
Boston Brahmin flock

ok but what are we not supposed to forget?
9/11 1973, when the US couped Chile and installed Pinochet
On the 9nth of November 2004, Firefox 1.0 was released. 9/11 is therefore a date dear to the heart of all freedom loving people.
That gitmo is still funcioning and has about 20 people jailed in it.
Only 20?
The USS Maine? The Alamo? Our dinner reservations?
The reservations, I have put a lot of time and effort into this dinner meeting
Because after 9/11, these happened:
-
There are Americans europeans arabs
-
So for “national security” it is right thing to do surveillance everything, for the sake of security of course as we said
-
Lets put all those taxes to millitary, for security again guys
-
Islam = Terrorism, Muslim = terrorist

I’m immediately disregarding any website that invites me to share a link on Parler, TruthSocial, and Rumble.
I’m immediately discarding any claims Sept 11 “was an inside job.”
What makes it difficult to disregard that entirely is the fact that the U.S. has planned false flag attacks before. There’s also the fact of the Bush Administration’s open desire to start regime change wars and the adjacent awareness that this would be politically unlikely absent “a new Pearl Harbor” (see “Critics”). This is like knowing someone has at least planned a murder before, then them talking about how convenient it’d be for someone to wind up dead, then a body showing up.
Personally, I think it’s plausible that the feds had specific advance warning of the attacks but intentionally slow-rolled the response (I see some parallels with how all these mass shooters were known to the feds beforehand). This would not require a lot of people to know and has excellent plausible deniability. I don’t think it’s plausible that they set demolition charges, or fired a missile into the Pentagon, or anything like that – too many people would have had to be involved and this would have left too many smoking guns.
I don’t think it’s useful as leftists to get too entrenched on any related topic, besides “why would anyone want to do this to the good wholesome U.S. of A.?” or “is the U.S. government capable of killing its own to start a war, or at least looking the other way and letting it happen?”
